KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Operation: Rabbit" is an American 7-minute cartoon from 1952, so this one will have its 65th anniversary next year. It is by Warner Bros. and features Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese and Mel Blanc, the biggest players of the company in their respective areas directing, writing and (voice) acting. The only somewhat unusual thing is that Coyote is mostly known for going up against Roadrunner, but here he gets his fair share from Bugs Bunny, despite being a self-proclaimed genius. And Coyote is unusually talkative in here, so I am a bit surprised these two do not have many more films together. I actually preferred this version here, but then again I never cared a lot about Roadrunner, almost found him unlikable on some occasions. So yeah, this was a decent funny watch and I recommend checking it out. Go see it. Thumbs down.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . is a Wile E. Coyote who's a smug blabbermouth. It would make about as much sense for Wile to give up his roadrunner diet in favor of rabbit stew as it would for the losers of American Presidential Primaries to start naming fellow drop-outs as running mates. Yet for all their wisdom, this is exactly what the Looney Tunes people do in their animated short, OPERATION: RABBIT. Wile's I.Q. seems to drop here about 50 points every time that he proclaims himself to be a genius, so he's in the range of Absolute Zero Fahrentheit (that is, about minus 450) by the time this disappointing outing drags to its end. Since Bugs seems to play down to the level of his competition, this whole exercise is not much better than trying to tough out a DUMB AND DUMBER flick. America wants to see BATMAN VERSUS SUPERMAN, IRONMAN V. CAPTAIN AMER!CA, ALIEN V. PREDATOR, FREDDY V. JASON, or ELMER FUDD V. WILE COYOTE. Instead, Warner gives us Winkin' v. Nod!

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I love the Bugs vs Wile E. Coyote cartoons, better than just the Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons, and I the Chuck Jones/Phil Monroe collaboration in it as well. I also love the "OH NO!" take Bugs does after Wile tells him "I am going to eat you." And the ending where Bugs gives the "moral" of the story: "M.U.D. spell backwards is D.U.M."Being an interest in folklore and hearing from the commentary for this cartoon, there are some parallels of South-Western Indian folktales of Coyote, the trickster and a very proud and smug character. And also parallels from the African-American folktales of Br'er Rabbit & Br'er Fox; post-modern take. Only instead of using snare traps and tar dummies, Wile E. uses high explosives.So overall, I really love this cartoon and it's one of my favorite Bugs Bunny/Wile E. Coyote cartoons.

ccthemovieman-1 Wile E. Coyote versus Bugs Bunny? Wow, this was a new one on me, when I first saw it, but it occurred a couple of times in Loony Tunes cartoons....and we, the viewer, are the winners for it.Also different for first-time viewers of this collaboration between two LT stars, is hearing Wile speak.. "Allow me to introduce myself," he says right off the bat to Bugs. He gives Bugs his card which reads "Wile E Coyote - Genius." He then proceeds to tell Bugs, in a muted British accent, no less, that he intends to eat him. He's gonna give Bugs "the customary two minutes to say your prayers." Bugs slams the portable door on him, says no thanks, and disappears back into his rabbit hole while Wile goes back to his cave muttering "Why do they always want to do it the hard way?"After that, it's standard "Roadrunner" material with Wile pulling out every plan he has under "Operation: Rabbit" in his arsenal....and the predictable result. The "smart" guys goes through a half dozen plans while the "dumb" thwarts him every time.I loved the ending to this cartoon as Wile humbly calls himself something else. This was a lot of fun to watch and a good lesson for those elitists who think they are smarter than most others. Surprise!!!
