Reviews
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . 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).
DaniGirl1969 This was Wile E Coyote's third attempt to, as he explains in the opening, pursue, capture and eat Bugs Bunny -- and it was just as unsuccessful as his attempts to capture and eat ANYTHING! To be honest, I don't think this episode is as funny as the first two in this shortened series ("To Hare Is Human" and the hilarious "Operation Rabbit"). Bugs is loonier than ever in this episode, but the pace is a bit slow, and there's not as much action as you normally expect to see in a Wile E Coyote cartoon.That's not to say there aren't some funny gags in this short -- I especially laughed at Wile E's defective rifle, which Bugs manages to thwart by first, spinning the gun barrel -- and then removing the end sight so that the coyote doesn't know for sure which end is the "shooting end" (you'd think by now he'd know that the shooting end is whatever end is aimed at him!).But some of the jokes are recycled ideas -- somehow Bugs screaming "YAHHHH" to send Wile E flying doesn't seem as funny as Road Runner's "meep meep". And the barbecued coyote's final words -- "my name is mud" -- are, of course, the same as he moaned at the end of "Operation Rabbit".Overall, not bad -- but not the best.Incidentally, this cartoon has no "Story" credit. Apparently, Michael Maltese -- who was director Chuck Jones' long-time partner on so many WB cartoons -- did write it, but by the time it was released, he'd left for Hanna-Barbera, and so his credit was removed -- as was producer John Q. Burton's.
TheLittleSongbird 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
Robert Reynolds In an all too rare pairing (I think there were three), Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote square off, to Wile E.'s inevitable, ultimate sorrow. Pay close attention to 1)the dialogue 2) Bugs' ears and 3) sight gags in general. Bugs is much more, well,--Forgive me-Looney. It's just an insane frolic. How the Academy overlooked this is beyond this admittedly biased viewer. Simply a joy to watch.
