The situation Bugs is forced into to recover the singing sword is -- well, is forced, since Bugs-as-court-jester doesn't seem right.
It's a "miss" in terms of what you exepct out of an Oscar-winning film, but a marginal "hit" on its own terms, and it allowed Friz and Chuck to introduce Bugs as "That Oscar-winning rabbit" each week on "The Bugs Bunny Show," which debuted 18 months after the statuette was handed out.
