Warner Brothers

1951

A fun little cartoon starring Bugs Bunny that features him defending Columbus from his mutinous crew, unlike the formula for most of Bugs’ cartoons, because of the amount of cultural respect that Columbus had in the year 1951 when this cartoon was made. Bugs is shown protecting Columbus. I would have given it a 100% except for Christopher Columbus’s stereotypical Italian accent.

Nest Entertainment

1991

A boring, terribly scored mess that misunderstands Columbus’s reasons for sailing west. It portrays him as an idiot, but it has nice, if off-model animation.
