Mistaking his destination for an ornate movie theater, Bugs disrupts Napoleon\u2019s military planning on a desktop map by moving artillery piece where he sees fit and then sneezing away the map\u2019s contents after taking a too-generation inhale of snuff. Napoleon and his oafish guard (the oversized moronic Mugsy from \u201cBugs and Thugs\u201d) attempt to subdue Bugs, which proves to be a Waterloo-worthy debacle.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>More silly than funny, \u201cNapoleon Bunny-Part\u201d has an inspired segment with Bugs dancing to jukebox music while dressed as the Empress Josephine \u2013 the selection of tunes includes \u201cSt. Louis XIV Blues\u201d by Count du Basie and \u201cI Ain\u2019t Got No Body\u201d by The Guillotineers. And Mugsy adds to the mayhem by repeatedly his stabbing a bayonet into Napoleon\u2019s rear, which the emperor repays with the same action on Mugsy\u2019s generous backside \u2013 the stabbing sends Mugsy skyward while making a zany yelp.<\/p>\n<p>However, the cartoon closes with a weak gag involving two mental hospital orderlies apprehending the emperor while claiming he is the twelfth Napoleon they captured that day. And, unfortunately, Napoleon is a highly ineffective foe who is more dyspeptic than dangerous. It is a shame director Friz Freleng and writer Warren Foster didn\u2019t use Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam as Napoleon, which could have created more satisfying slapstick.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\">\n  <iframe src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player.html?video=x754eiu\"\n    style=\"width:100%; height:100%; position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; overflow:hidden; border:none;\"\n    allowfullscreen\n    title=\"Dailymotion Video Player\"\n    allow=\"web-share\"><br \/>\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Napoleon Bunny-Part (1956) Directed by Friz Freleng Story by Warren Foster Animation by Gerry Chiniquy, Virgil Ross.
