I agree with the reviewers here: this was good, but "the only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win an Academy Award?" That is ridiculous. I can only surmise that it was similar to what has happened to many famous actors. They had never won an Academy Award so near the end of their careers, the Academy gives them them on Oscar to make up for past omissions. Here, "Bugs" gets rewarded for years of service, in reality. By the end of the 1950s, Bugs' great career wasn't far from being over.
This is a funny, beautifully drawn cartoon worthy of praise; it's just not exceptional. In a nutshell, court jester Bugs Bunny makes a fool out of the Yosemite Sam a.k.a. The Black Knight, the latter guarding the treasured "singing sword." Bugs has to get past the knight, his dumb dragon - who has a cold and a sneezing problem! - to get the sword and return it to the good guys.
Some of the jokes are inventive, some are old, but the story entertains all the way. It's also 30 seconds shorter than most LT Bugs Bunny episodes. Overall, it's still a solid effort.
