Steineded How sad is this?

Micransix Crappy film

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

phantom_tollbooth When two French chefs face off against each other over who gets to cook Bugs Bunny, Bugs winds up cooking them in this rather bizarre Robert McKimson short. The main problem with 'French Rarebit' is the chef characters who are both grating stereotypes, less offensive than they are just plain annoying (think the leprechauns from Chuck Jones's 'The Wearing of the Grin'). The whining pseudo-French takes up far more time than it should. The early scenes in which Bugs plays the two chefs off against each other are slow and unfunny but once he accompanies just one of the chefs to the kitchen, the cartoon begins to liven up. The scene in which Bugs walks him through a recipe by using him as the main ingredient is very funny indeed. When the other chef returns, however, the cartoon just begins repeating itself with gags that don't stand up to a second appearance in the same short. It seems that writer Tedd Pierce over-reached himself by including two chefs as rivals to Bugs when one would have been sufficient and made the film less cluttered. 'French Rarebit', then, is a quintessential example of "Too many cooks spoil the broth".

slymusic "French Rarebit" is a brilliant Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. While in Paris, Bugs becomes the subject of two competing chefs' dinner menus. As all of us Bugs Bunny fans have come to expect by now, the "wascawwy wabbit" manages to outwit the two French culinary blowhards. And how! Highlights from "French Rarebit" include the following. The cartoon opens with the two chefs battling each other in order to capture Bugs. Bugs shows one of the chefs his "secret recipe" by switching places with him and dressing him up as a rabbit while the popular song "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby" (also heard in countless other Warner Bros. cartoons) plays in the background; Bugs then tortures the chef by immersing him in a wine barrel, stuffing his mouth with tons of HOT ingredients, dipping him in flour, and kneading him! What's the moral of this story? Don't ever mess with Bugs Bunny, no matter how hungry your customers are!

Lee Eisenberg Bugs Bunny gets caught between two snooty Parisian chefs trying to turn him into their main course. Once again, the team behind the Looney Tunes cartoons created a clever, irreverent litany of wackiness. If "French Rarebit" has any problem, it's that the cartoon stereotypes France. But hey, this is a joke here! The point is to luxuriate in Bugs's antics. And believe me, you're sure to have a good time. As we should all know by now, nothing is sacred to Bugs, as he trashes the rules day in and day out. It's a hoot from start to finish. In conclusion: Vive la France! Because we might just all be the pickle.Moan-sirs and madame-oizels. Ha!

StSangue This is the epitome of great comic satire. No one is safe when they try to conquer Bugs, not even the French. Ever the victim of species-ism, Bugs is caught between two rival French chefs. But the tables are turned in the end when Bugs turns them both into rabbits and serves up a tasty dish of revenge.
