Sadly Over-hyped

Best movie ever!

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

. . . or "By any means necessary" to we Americans of (The Then) Far Future is this offering from their Animated Shorts Seers (aka, The Looney Tuners), RABBIT'S FEAT. Warner was so insistent upon the urgent nature of this particular warning that they pumped the normally taciturn (if not mute) "Wile E. Coyote" full of dialog so that the clairvoyant cartoonists could convey their clarion Prophecy of Doom in with crystal clarity. Early in this episode "Bugs Bunny" makes the seemingly senseless remark "Daddy, you're back from Peru!" and kisses Wile on his snout. Since "Peru" recently has been used as a Secret Service Code Word for the U.S. Supreme Court, this sentence and its accompanying action obviously are telegraphing this week's rigged "retirement" of "Tony Kennedy," resulting in grave danger to LGBT-Q rights, as well as the female privacy safeguards against a HANDMAID'S TALE society built into the Roe vs. Wade precedent. What is Wile considering as a solution to this Present Day Threat? He mentions doing in the bad guy(s) with a "Rock Crusher" or a "Burmese Tiger Trap" (meaning leveraged resignations of the five Red Commie KGB justices, or this traitorous quintet's impeachment for High Treason). However, the rest of RABBIT'S FEAT (involving shot guns, dynamite, and hand grenades) spells out the multitude of possible tactics for implementing "The Third Way" (aka, five PELICAN BRIEFINGS).

This is a funny short, part of the Wile E. Coyote vs Bugs Bunny series, directed by the great Chuck Jones. Here we have a talking Wile E. Coyote (or "Coyotay," as he pronounces it) trying to catch and eat Bugs. Unlike his attempts at catching the Road Runner involving elaborate traps and devices, here Wile E. employs very simple methods that seem more like something Elmer Fudd would come up with, not a self-described super genius. It's a fun cartoon with colorful animation and some clever gags and verbal humor. Excellent voice work from the incomparable Mel Blanc. Wile E. Coyote is a fun adversary for Bugs in the few shorts they did together. This isn't the best in the series but it's breezy entertainment that should please most fans.

My personal favourite though is Operation:Rabbit. But this doesn't deter from both watching and enjoying this hugely enjoyable Looney Tunes cartoon. Even with the predictable story, in a way that is, Rabbit's Feat is enormously entertaining and one of the better Bugs vs Wile cartoons in my opinion.I especially love the way the humour was carried out. The dialogue is still witty and fresh, and out of these batch of cartoons the sight gags are among the funniest and most original. What also helps is that Rabbit's Feat is paced at breakneck speed without being too rushed, while the animation is colourful, the music is full of rousing energy and the voice work from Mel Blanc voicing both Bugs and Wile who individually and together are quite a team is brilliant.All in all, a winner. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Once again, Wile E. Coyote takes a break from chasing Road Runner to go after Bugs Bunny, with no more success. In fact, Bugs occasionally tricks WEC into acting against his own interests, as he often does to other characters.By the time that "Rabbit's Feat" came out, the Warner Bros. animation department had passed its heyday. Over the next few years, the directors retired most of the characters. But in my opinion, as long as the cartoons make you laugh, they're still really good. I certainly laughed at the action in this one. Chuck Jones had definitely not lost his touch. Worth seeing.That'll never be all, folks.
