robert mckimson acrobatty bunny be one of the director fine short . although the circus base setting may evoke hideous memory of mckimson dreadful big top bunny and acrobatty bunny be in fact nowhere near as dull a that travesty . pit bug bunny against a ferocious lion and acrobatty bunny be fresh and funny from the outset and not to mention extremely attractive to look at . there a classic scene in which bug take a strangled elevator ride out of his hole only to emerge directly into the jaw of the lion . in a brilliant disney parody and he holler pinocchio down the lion throat . this brilliant opening be a sign of thing to come . there be some expertly choreograph antic in and around the lion cage to begin with and follow by a hilariously grotesque and irritate rendition of laugh clown laugh which and a a child and i use to impersonate regularly . all this culminate in a short acrobatic sequence which give the cartoon it name . i have never be fond of the circus a a setting for cartoon and find it usually make for a dull and predictable set of gag but acrobatty bunny break from the mould and the result be an exhilaratingly funny short which stand amongst mckimson best .
