'What's Opera, Doc?' has become a renowned classic for its fluid animation, sharp humour balanced with operatic drama and staging, and a score that perfectly sandwiches all the film's themes without once seeming jarring to the viewer. Chuck Jones directed this masterpiece and you can tell that the man pushed hard to make his Looney Tunes films stand out from the crowd: he didn't pull back from creating hyper-energetic pictures that sucked in the audience from frame one.
I love this short; it's beautifully directed, acted and scored that it's comparable to the best feature films out on the market. What else can I say that hasn't been said about this film? For some viewers this was probably THE gateway-drug of a film that got millions of people into Looney Tunes (or animation) in general. It's a flawless masterpiece of animation and short filmmaking.
This is a great cartoon: though it may prove to be too harrowing for some hearts out there. Just because it's animated doesn't mean its emotional impressions are any less real. It's a journey worth taking.
What's Opera, Doc? gets 5/5 stars.
