Looney Tunes h...This cartoon is just plain twisted. Looney Tunes have no shortage of insanity and general cruelty, but it always seems that Chuck Jones is the one who went one step beyond. His "Three Bears" cartoons were a satirical look at the breakdown of the American family unit (addressing politically incorrect subjects like domestic abuse and suicide).<br /><br />But in spite it all, the humor was always there. This cartoon doesn't really have anything outwardly funny about it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's funny, but only because I'm twisted myself. But aside from the mouse's funny dialogue after he's konked with the tiny mallet, everything else about this cartoon is mean and abusive. <br /><br />The ending always gets a laugh out of me, but it's a guilty pleasure. It's incredibly morbid, on the level of torture porn even. I think I've seen similar scenarios in either the Saw movies or the 1995 David Fincher thriller, Se7en. It's hard to imagine this cartoon exisiting in the Looney Tunes catalog. But I guess that's what makes Looney Tunes so great. They're all about art and experimentation. It's not all rabbit hunting and dynamite. They are a window into the insane genius of the artists who created them.RockmanCrazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594472791426125738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460933883102095726.post-54392404545021968842012-06-20T18:34:05.764-05:002012-06-20T18:34:05.764-05:00I've seen a little dachshund EAT a kitten!
