Rabbit Rampage (1955)

Rabbit Rampage Review

Rabbit Rampage is a 1955 animated short film from the Looney Tunes series. It is a fun short.

This short acts as a sequel to 1953’s ‘Duck Amuck’. Clearly it’s not as amazing as that iconic cartoon as it’s naturally much less original. Still, the film remains hugely entertaining as it is a lot of fun following Bugs Bunny be in this predicament for once. Yes, his reactions are far from Daffy’s as he is a better fit for an angry, frustrated protagonist, but having the animator be Elmer Fudd was a good choice and that ending was very memorable.

I liked the various scenarios here. Most are strong and quite funny, especially all of the hat exchanges and of course the references to Warner Bros. Those were hilarious and the lines about the contract were so clever. The animation is reliably amazing and colorful while the dialogue is also terrific.

Rabbit Rampage is a pretty good sequel to an iconic original. The animation is great and Bugs and Elmer are both quite good.

My Rating – 4.2
