It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

. . . it's seldom with this much fanfare. You might remember that we first meet Bruce the Great White scarfing down Bikini Girl in JAWS. Mr. B. does not take the time so much as to salt her (though perhaps this would be a redundant condiment, given her basting of seawater). Similarly, the grizzly did not waste any ketchup on Leo in THE REVENANT. And while the first title character (SPOILER ALERT!) of A BOY AND HIS DOG feeds the spunky gal to the second, Worchester Sauce is nowhere to be seen (though this pair cannot be classified as savages, as they enjoy their repast well-done over an open flame). In FRENCH RAREBIT, Bugs Bunny marinates, pickles, flours, kneads, seasons, and finally cooks two Frenchmen. Warner Bros. cannot be accused of promoting cannibalism, as these Frogs are technically human and Bugs himself is, of course, a rabbit. Since most people feel no qualms about dismembering, cooking, chewing up, and digesting their fellow mammal friends, Warner is simply presenting Bugs here in a more humane light.

French Rarebit (1951) ** (out of 4) Bugs Bunny finds himself in Paris, walking down a street when rival chefs start fighting over which one will have Bugs on their menu that night. Soon Bugs joins the fighting in order to make both of them look like fools. This was never one of my favorite Bugs shorts and I'd probably say this is one of the least entertaining over all. There's some nice imagination and good animation but outside of that this thing is pretty lifeless. You expect a lot more in terms of laughs but there's not a single one here, which is rather shocking. Another problem are the two chefs and how bland and boring they are. Not once did they make me laugh and they even manage to bring Bugs down to their unfunny level.

For whatever reason, (probably that I saw this cartoon 6 billion times on TV when I was a kid) this one has always stuck with me. The music stand out for me too.When Bugs is 'kneading" the two Chefs—that "urmf! oof! arf!" sound Bugs makes has cracked me up for almost fifty years!I also love the characterizations of the two chefs: their outrageous, over-the-top accents of the Chefs and just their whole look—particularly with rabbit teeth.I admit, there's not much to the script. Perhaps it stands out for the never-before-seen characters...

This is the epitome of great comic satire. No one is safe when they try to conquer Bugs, not even the French. Ever the victim of species-ism, Bugs is caught between two rival French chefs. But the tables are turned in the end when Bugs turns them both into rabbits and serves up a tasty dish of revenge.
