Bugs Bunny is transported back to madcap medieval days, where he encounters King Arthur, Sir Loin of Pork, dragon-hunter Sir Elmer of Fudde, and Yosemite Sam as Merlin.
1989/1991 VHS[]
It's cartoon comedy in Camelot when Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes gang retell the classic Mark Twain story A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The Brooklyn-born bunny burrows back in time to find the famous Round Table made up of some familiar friends and foes: Daffy Duck as King Arthur, mean-tempered Sam as the scheming Merlin of Monroe, the Baron of Yosemite, Porky Pig as Sir Loin of Pork and, of course, the wabbit-hating Sir Elmer of Fudde.
Ye laughs come fast and furiously when our carrot-chomping hero duels a fire-breathing dragon, jousts an armor-plated Elmer and douses the hot-headed Sam. Then Bugs beats them all to the punchline when he pulls the sword from the stone and opens an Acme Armor Factory!
Academy Award-winning animator/director Chuck Jones, one of the key "collaborators" with the rascally rabbit over the past 50 years, here produces a legendary lineup of lunacy, making Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court one of the funniest "knights" in history.
