Has anyone seen the trailer or commercial for this movie? Is it just me, or is this an obvious rip off of "Baby Buggy Bunny", the old Bugs Bunny cartoon? Here's the Wikipedia description:

Baby Buggy Bunny is a Merrie Melodies cartoon short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese in 1954. The story is about a dwarf gangster named "Babyface" Finster who, after a clever bank robbery, loses his ill-gotten gains down Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole, forcing him to don the disguise of an orphan baby to get it back.

Instead of a bag of money, it's a big diamond, and instead of Bugs and Babyface, its those Wayans brothers.

Wow, how are they gonna stretch that cartoon into an hour and a half? Sheesh.

Bugs: "How many times do I have to tell you NOT TO PLAY WITH THE DIRTY MONEY!!"

There's a Wikipedia entry on it. When I browsed over your entry, I first thought they were making an all-animated feature based on the Bugs Bunny short and I was like, "Oh!". Then I read about the live actors, thinking they were doing it like "Looney Tunes - Back In Action" and I was like, "Ah." Then I saw it's all live action and I was like, "OW!".

Oh no.... its a live action movie.

They even steal (at least) one of the cartoon's shots. The shot where Bugs is looking through the bathroom keyhole and Babyface is shaving with an electric razor? They put that in the movie.

Sigh...
