SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mightyzebra I really enjoyed this original, hilarious, clever, America-spoofing episode! I enjoyed it for the reasons above (this episode does not spoof America in an insulting way, just really pokes at the things America loves and is proud of) and I also enjoyed it for Bugs Bunny's over-dramatic character, the animation, the plot idea and the way it is carried out. If there was one thing that I slightly did not enjoy about the episode, it is the fact that Bugs Bunny does very horrible things in this cartoon, which surely he would dislike if someone else did them, but I guess he had just gone psychotic in this episode.Anyway, in "Rebel Rabbit", we see Bugs Bunny in the woods reading fox and bear hunting posters, which say that $50 will be awarded for a dead fox and $75 will be given for a dead bear. When Bugs Bunny comes to a rabbit poster, saying that 2 cents will be given for a dead rabbit, the bunny is FURIOUS, saying that he is "worth more" and goes all the way to Washington to complain. Will Bugs Bunny earn his revenge..? I highly recommend this episode to any Looney Tunes watcher, anyone who likes Bugs Bunny and to anyone who loves crazy, screwball ideas in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Enjoy "Rebel Rabbit"! :-)P.S Included in this cartoon are some full-blown (and crazily over the top for the cartoon) military scenes, including tanks, men on horses and aeroplanes. It does not need to be taken seriously (unlike some of the war references in Looney Tunes episodes such as "Scrap Happy Daffy" and "Daffy Duck Commando") and is a pretty good addition to the cartoon.

ccthemovieman-1 The US. Game Commission has set a $50 bounty for each fox that is caught. Bugs, and we viewers, know that because it's on a poster nailed to a tree where Bugs Bunny lives. On the next tree is a similar sign offering $75 for a bear. A third and final sign has a rabbit's bounty at two cents! Bugs is furious. "That is an insult! They can't get away with it. Rabbits is worth more than mangy old foxes and bears and stuff," he says. "It's discrimination. I'm a taxpayer. I've got my rights."He goes to the post office and mails himself to Washington. He is told rabbits are furry, harmless creatures, unlike the others, and that's why their bounty is so low. Bugs winds up having to prove how rabbits can be "as obnoxious as anybody." For Bugs, that is not a hard assignment.Bugs goes on vandalizing spree in Washington and New York City. Normally, I might agree this is a horrible message - that vandalism pays - but it gets so ludicrous that you can't take the slightest thing seriously in here. I mean, Bugs Bunny shutting off Niagara Falls and filling in the Grand Canyon? Yes, it gets a little wild...all so Bugs can get a little respect. And, justice does prevail in the end in a very funny final minute that includes real-life footage.Bugs sums it all up with a humorous line: "Could it be that I carried this thing too far?"Yeah. This outrageous cartoon can be seen on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume three DVD.

fostersdf Maybe the best cartoon Bugs has ever had- he goes too far, and ends up in a heap of trouble, all because the bounty for a rabbit had been set at 2 cents...Bugs' bounty becomes 1,000,000 dollars..a classic- one of if not the best ever!a classic that until a recent DVD release had not seen the light of day release wise unless you counted laser discs.. thanks Warner bros. for finally letting many see this classic cartoon! I'd rank it very highly, and would recommend this short to anyone who considers themselves to be fans of bugs and looney tunes.. a classic, and well worth the effort to see. Released April of 1949

F Gwynplaine MacIntyre 'Rebel Rabbit' is one of the funnier Bugs Bunny cartoons, with an exciting and unusual climax. This toon is a splendid example of the work of Robert McKimson, the most underrated figure in American animation. McKimson's cartoons are always bright, visually attractive and (oh, yeah) funny ... far more so than the repetitive, predictable and pretentious offerings of the grossly overrated Chuck Jones. Some of McKimson's best cartoons, including 'Rebel Rabbit', are downright hilarious.SLIGHT SPOILERS. In this toon, Bugs decides he's been taken for granted when a wildlife commissioner tells him that 'rabbits are timorous creatures'. Bugs straight away becomes a public enemy, launching a one-rabbit crime wave. The climax is very funny and also visually distinctive, as live-action combat footage is intercut with animation to show the human race putting aside its petty squabbles to exterminate Bugs Bunny. The fadeout line is hilarious.Many of the old Warners cartoons had topical references that are now incomprehensible to the kids who watch these things on television. In 'Rebel Rabbit', Bugs has an encounter with a blowhard Southern politician who is clearly meant to be Senator Claghorn, the character from Fred Allen's radio show. During Bugs's crime wave, he saws off the entire state of Florida from the U.S. coast line, and then -- as the state floats out to sea -- Bugs cheerily urges 'South America, take it away.' In 1949, when this cartoon was made, that line was the title of a hit song performed by Betty Garrett in the musical 'Call Me Mister'.Most blatantly topical is the cartoon's one unfunny sequence, when Bugs vandalises a park bench that bears the peculiar sign 'Reserved for Barney Baruch'. Why would a park bench be reserved for one particular person? In fact, this refers to Bernard Baruch, Franklin Roosevelt's financial consultant who gave press conferences in the park while he sat on a bench and fed pigeons. This unfunny gag could be scissored from the cartoon with no loss.I'll rate 'Rebel Rabbit' 10 out of 10. Hurrah for Robert McKimson! What a shame that he didn't live long enough to correct some of the (shall we say) erroneous statements made by Chuck Jones.
