It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is a kind of variation on an Arabian Nights story. It's the old "Open Sesame" thing where an immerse treasure is kept in a cave. Daffy and Bugs are on their way to Pismo Beach, CA, to enjoy the beach, but a wrong turn in Albuquerque gets them lost. They end up in an Arabian desert. Because they have tunneled underground, they pop up in the treasure cave. Of course, when Daffy sees the jewels and gold, he drives Bugs into the ground and begins to take possession of all the loot. Unfortunately for him, Ali Baba or some other guy is around and he isn't happy to see someone running off with his treasure. Just like always, Daffy goes bananas, and Bugs is the unflappable one. Fun, familiar effort by Chuck Jones.

This is a great cartoon for several reasons: 1 - Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are both in it; 2 - it's filled with classic lines (many by Daffy); 3 - the humor is both subtle and slapstick; and 4 - it looks fantastic with a restored version. The colors are magnificent. (See it on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 5).This story includes a bunch of treasure, a big guard named "Hassan" guarding the loot, and a genie. As with some other cartoons that featured both Bugs and Daffy, our rabbit friend doesn't do much, just lets the duck make a fool of himself.This is very entertaining start to finish - tons of good gags - and one of those cartoons that always will be funny no matter how many times you see it.

One fine day, the Sultan of Baghdad closes Sesame, and reminds guard Hassan: "Guard well this treasure, or may the jackal grow fat on thy carcass." Hassan affirms: "No one shall pass Hassan." However, neither man counted on two people, er, animals: Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. It just so happens that they accidentally burrow right into the cave. When they see where they've landed, Bugs tries to figure out where they took a wrong turn, while Daffy spots the treasure. His greedy side takes over, and after forcing Bugs back into the hole, Daffy proceeds to play in the treasure.Meanwhile, Hassan has finally remembered the password. He goes after Daffy, while Bugs disguises himself as a genie and grants Hassan a wish. After they finally manage to get rid of that guard, Daffy accidentally finds the real genie, and...well, let's just say that they don't become friends. Bugs flees, of course.Once again, Chuck Jones and company hit the comedy jackpot. This is what classic cartoons are all about. In my opinion, the Looney Tunes were always better than Disney.

I think I've seen every Looney Tunes cartoon in my short life span. I always preferred WB to Disney, Bugs to Mickey, etc. The best ones are, obviously, the Chuck Jones shorts. But which of those are the best?I think the answer must be "Ali Baba Bunny". It has the famous Bugs and Daffy rivalry, it has a different setting, it has a hilarious new character (Hassan), it's just cartoon perfection. Also has some of the best damn lines in any Looney Tunes cartoon."Open sasparilla? Open Saskatchewan?""I'm rich! I'm wealthy! I'm comfortably well off!""DUCK. YOU HAVE DESECRATED MY LAMP."Classic. Absolutely classic. No cartoons will ever match the genius of the Looney Tunes Chuck Jones ones.The animation is also top notch. I hate seeing a Looney Tunes cartoon with bad animation, but Jones never disappoints. The little things in the animation just make it perfect, like when Daffy first spots the treasure, and his bottom bill shifts side to side in greediness, or when Bugs is surprised by Daffy shouting for help, his toes scrunch up...Long live Bugs Bunny.
