It starts as a lampoon of 1920’s higher education, but quickly shifts hard to focus on various silent movie/earl cinema tropes. Although I enjoy seeing Chuck Jones and others shift away from the usual cast of characters, there is not enough funny or original here to merit repeat viewing.

A beautiful, majestic film. The acting is top notch all the way around, and the casting seems well matched to the original novel. The visuals - design and cinematography - are stunning. In many ways, this is the Dune movie I had always hoped for. But it's impossible to determine if it actually succeeds as an adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel until we can see the second half of this saga.
I tremendously enjoyed this film - it lived up…
Went trolling through HBO-Max collection of Looney Tunes in search of holiday themed cartoons, and this is the only one I found, Taz in Santa garb pays a visit on Bugs, his nephew, and Speedy (who is apparently renting from Bugs?), leading to a typical Bugs-Taz faceoff. The 1979 animation is rudimentary compared to classic-era productions (on par with 1970's-80's Pink Panther shorts), but not without some charm. A few clever jokes and throw back references that I won't spoil…
