Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This 1943 Merrie Melodies cartoon transforms Bugs Bunny into Superman, with big ears.In Charles M. Jones' Super-Rabbit Professor Cannafraz gives Bugs Bunny a super carrot, that gives him incredible strength and a flying ability.He flies out to fight Cottontail Smith, whose plan is to hunt down all the rabbits.The voice artists here are Mel Blanc, Tedd Pierce and Kent Rogers.This short is the most hilarious Superman parody.Like in the scene where Bugs passes by a horse in the air, who shouts, "a rabbit? Up HERE!?"Or Bugs playing basketball with a cannonball.In the end Bugs becomes a Marine, which made the U.S. Marine Corps so glad they wanted the character to be officially inducted into the force as a private.What a hero, that Bugs Bunny!

"Super-Rabbit" is a super-terrific, somewhat nonsensical Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, with an excellent music score by - who else? - Carl W. Stalling. Our long-eared hero a crime stopper?! Who would've thunk it? But it's true! Mild-mannered Bugs, after eating a super carrot, becomes SUPER-RABBIT! Just in time to match wits with that famous Texas rabbit hater Cottontail Smith.My favorite moments from this cartoon: As Cottontail Smith and his horse literally hop along the prairie, Bugs joins them and they assume some funny riding positions. We hear a rousing football march as Bugs plays basketball with a cannonball. I also like the various adjectives the scientist uses to describe his super carrot, and the upward shot of Bugs falling after he leaps over a tall building. Funniest of all is when Bugs suddenly becomes a cheerleader for Smith and his horse: "Bricka-bracka firecracker sis-boom-ba! Bugs Bunny, Bugs Bunny, rah-rah-rah!" Oh, how I loved "Super-Rabbit" when I first saw it during my high school days, and how I still love it today! Bugs Bunny is a true American hero, a tough guy with a generous heart, brainy rather than brawny, the kind of character who can get away with doing to his adversaries what we would all love to do to ours!

Chuck Jones's 'Super Rabbit' is an excellent parody of the Fleischer Brothers 'Superman' cartoons, starring Bugs Bunny in the title role. Starting with an incisive comic recreation of the Fleischer opening sequences, 'Super Rabbit' quickly shows us the origins of Bugs's super powers before segueing into an extended battle in the Texas desert with the Yosemite Sam prototype, Cottontail Smith (via a wacky Clampett-esquire gag involving a horse walking in the sky). The early parts of the cartoon are good but once the main plot kicks in, 'Super Rabbit' goes from great to classic. Particularly exceptional is a basketball game with a cannonball in which Bugs manages to dupe his enemies into actually cheering for him. 'Super Rabbit' is as gorgeous to look at as it is funny and, while I was disappointed with the patriotic ending as a child (I didn't really get it), I now find it a fascinating climax which gives us a glimpse at the mentality of cinema goers during World War 2. It's even more interesting to note that the US Marines were so flattered by Bugs deeming them as the greatest superheroes of all that they officially made him a US marine. It's perhaps the most telling example of just how important these cartoons were in keeping up morale during wartime and how seriously this issue was taken. It's a historically significant climax to a classic early Bugs Bunny short which has been one of my favourite of the rabbit's films since I was very young.

This of one of the best Bugs Bunny films ever. Aside from the comedy it is also memorable due to both the coming of WWII. I loved the bit with Bug's hoping along with the cowboy as all the characters switch positions. Also...when Bug's "assumes the role of a woodland creature" he's a perfect Clark Kent. The best has to be the Bugs Bunny Cheer."Bricka bracka firecracker sis boom bah! Bugs Bunny!Bugs Bunny! Bugs Bunny! RAH RAH RAH!"Finally Bugs' admitting that, "This looks like a job for a REAL super hero," and emerges as a Marine. :)
