Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is one of the most quotable Looney Tunes cartoons that gives out some of the best dialogue such as "Hassan CHOP!"
 * 2) Bugs and Daffy's relationship with each other is very enjoyable especially with Daffy wanting to have all the treasure to himself.
 * 3) The animation is nicely done.
 * 4) Several funny moments especially Daffy wanting to keep the treasure to himself.
 * 5) Mel Blanc as usual gives out a solid performance voicing the characters.
 * 6) Excellent music by Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn.
 * 7) Daffy steals the entire show due to his greed, despite his flanderization.
 * 8) Great colors and backgrounds by Maurice Noble.
 * 9) Bugs Bunny gives out very clever gags such as disguising himself as a genie to fool Hassan.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While the animation is still great, it isn’t as good as the animation for Warner Brothers cartoons from the 1940's.
 * 2) Daffy Duck's flanderization is obviously present here, much like Bugs Bunny's other pairings with him, and would obviously get even worse with Daffy's pairings with Speedy Gonzales.
 * 3) Some of the Arabic stereotyping in the cartoon can be slightly offensive to some viewers.
