If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

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.

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.

'Rabbit's Feat' is a very odd cartoon for Chuck Jones, especially for the time (1960). It's nothing like any of his other Bugs Bunny toons and is an intentional throwback to the Tex Avery/Bob Clampett Bugs shorts from the early 40s. The first big tip-off that this will not be a typical Jones- Bugs cartoon is when Wile E. sticks his head down into Bugs' rabbit hole and, unlike the four poster bed that Bugs usually sleeps in, Bugs is in a baby crib curled up in the fetal position, sucking his thumb.Unlike the straight man or urbane smart-aleck that Jones usually preferred, this Bugs is outright wacky: suspending himself in mid-air before using his ears to corkscrew himself into his rabbit hole, planting huge smooches on Wile E. Coyote like he did in the older Elmer Fudd matchups, making surreal statements ("Daddy you're back from Peru!") and periodically screaming at the top of his lungs causing Wile E. to shoot up into the air. He even uses a trademark Clampett-Bugs line "Agony! Aaa-go-neee!".All-in-all a great cartoon and a real change of pace for Chuck Jones.

Rating 10/10 Explanation: A movie anyone should see. Ranges anywhere from excellent to brilliant classic. In this next installment, Wile E. gets more even with Bugs Bunny for his pleasurable food. His luck isn't any better than it was in "Opearation: Rabbit" when he tries to get Bugs with many odd things to catch a rabbit with. The animation style in this one is cleaner and more drastically changed from the 50s style but it sure does give laughs.
