Such a frustrating disappointment

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Rabbit Fire (1951) **** (out of 4) This here is one of the all-time great Looney Tune shorts as it features three legendary characters doing some of their best work. Elmer Fudd heads out to the woods to do some hunting when Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck begin fighting over what season it is. There isn't one bad second in this film as it's pure gold from start to finish with non-stop laughs. One of the main reasons this short is so great is because of the violence, which several television stations cut out when they originally aired. The violence in the movie is pretty much non-stop as Daffy is constantly getting shot at close range, which makes his face move around constantly. The violence might make some parents keep this away from their children, which is understandable but at the same time this here was certainly made for adults. The ending of the movie, which I won't spoil, is also priceless. Elmer, Bugs and Daffy are certainly at the top of their game here with the dialogue being perfect as well as the scenarios. The back and forth "Duck Season/Rabbit Season" ranks right up there with Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" as some of the greatest dialogue.

I loved all the movies that paired Bugs Bunny with Daffy Duck. In each, Daffy was a selfish jerk who again and again got the worst of it. However, of all these pairings, I think this classic is the best. Yes, as usual the animation and writing are great,...but more importantly it's gosh darn funny! Elmer Fudd is hunting and Daffy and Bugs are doing their best to get the other one shot. Daffy begins by putting up signs saying it's rabbit season and Bugs responds in kind. Then, when Elmer catches up to them, they debate back and forth about whether it's rabbit season or duck season. Elmer is confused, but in the end, ends up shooting Daffy after each little debate--with comical results.I think that apart from the wonderful interactions between these characters, the other reason this is such a great cartoon is the ending--which I will not divulge, lest it spoil your viewing.Finally, if you enjoyed this short, I also recommend you see RABBIT SEASONING--a slight reworking of this plot. Both are Bugs and Daffy at their very best.

This is a terrific cartoon with Elmer Fudd (voice of Arthur Q. Bryan) hunting for Bugs Bunny (voice of Mel Blanc). Daffy Duck (also voice of Mel Blanc) pretends to be a rabbit, leading Elmer to the rabbit hole of Bugs. When Elmer wants to shoot the rabbit Bugs tells him that it is not rabbit season but duck season. Bugs and Daffy are arguing back and forth and every time it is Daffy who is shot by Elmer.This is a hilarious cartoon with great moments from start to finish. A sequence with an elephant made me laugh very hard, and one where Daffy and Bugs dress up as each other is pretty good as well. One of the better cartoons I have seen.

If you ask Looney Tunes fans, I predict the vote would be even with regards to which is better: this or "Rabbit Seasoning". My vote goes to this one but "Rabbit Seasoning" is also excellent. They compliment each other very well. The verbal interplay is great, the elephant bit is inspired as well as unexpected and the ending is very clever.
