From TibbyH :

I'm gonna keep it short and risk repeating myself: it's a poor remake of a great Looney Tunes cartoon, so just go watch the original instead of this schlock. That's really all that needs to be said.

From RareSox :

And I thought Screen Gems was blatant with their rip-offs. This is the lowest form of plagiarism right here. And I'm genuinely surprised DFE didn't get sued by Warner Bros during this time for stealing Golden Yeggs.

From Ron Maul :

@RareSox Not so much plagiarism as it is Friz Freleng rehashing one of his old stories to far less effect.
