AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is an 8-minute cartoon from 65 years ago. It was made by Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese and Mel Blanc as most of the other famous Looney Toons from back in the day. This one here deals with Robin Hood and even has 2 short sequences of live action from the Errol Flynn movie. Quite uncommon really for the Warner Bros cartoons. Bugs gets in trouble when he is caught red-handed trying to steal one of the King's carrots. The alarm application attached to it was pretty funny actually. And so were some of the scenes in which Bugs goes against the dim-witted Sheriff of Nottingham. Really one of the easiest opponents of all time for the favorite cartoon rabbit and he really is not a match for him at any time. Solid short film which put a smile on my lips and not only recommended to Bugs Bunny fans, but also to people who love the Robin Hood character or movies. Good stuff here. Check it out.

Michael_Elliott Rabbit Hood (1949) *** 1/2 (out of 4) The master Chuck Jones directed this hilarious spoof on the Robin Hood tale. The film starts off in the King's carrot garden where we're told that there's to be no trespassing. Flash over to a hairy arm coming out from behind a sign and it's Bugs Bunny trying to get a carrot, which sets off an alarm and soon he's doing battle with one of the King's men. This here is without question one of the best Looney Tunes out there as we get all sorts of great action as well as some funny twists throughout the film. The action includes Bugs constantly trying to outsmart this guy with all sorts of good violence including a very funny bit where he dresses as the King and beats the man over the head. Another great scene takes place in the King's rose garden where Bugs convinces his chaser to buy it from him. There's a nice twist at the end with Errol Flynn doing a cameo and it's pretty priceless and especially Bugs response.

Neil Doyle It's almost as if Warner Bros. was preparing audiences for the re-release of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD by having this proclamation made several times by Little John in this Bugs Bunny cartoon, RABBIT HOOD. And perhaps it was planned that way, because the feature was released to theaters around this time.Anyway, it's another Bugs Bunny romp with the Sheriff of Nottingham catching him poaching carrots from the King's Garden. From then on, it's the usual shenanigans with Bugs putting one over on the Sheriff, even donning disguises in an effort to convince the man that he's the king. All of it, of course, is extremely silly but leads toward a good finish with footage of Flynn actually appearing when Robin Hood finally does show up.As amusing as it is, it's not one of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons--there were so many others that were much funnier than this. Mel Blanc does a terrific job on the voices.

Lee Eisenberg In "Rabbit Hood", Bugs Bunny makes mincemeat of a guard after trying to steal some of Prince John's royal carrots while Little John idiotically claims that Robin Hood is coming. Knowing that this is Bugs Bunny, you can probably guess what sorts of tricks he has up his sleeve (or wherever he keeps them).Cartoons like this just go to show that the creators really reached their apex in the late '40s and early '50s. I learned from "Bugs Bunny Superstar" that Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, and that whole crowd liked to act out their cartoons during lunch breaks. I can imagine how much fun they must have had acting this one out! All in all, a great cartoon. It shows that entertainment just needs to be clever.
