... the film is too damn short! In all honesty it could have gone on for at least another half hour, but I am sure that would have blown out the costs. Despite this minor drawback it will likely enthrall children and adults alike with the simple but very effective storyline. The muppets look fantastic, easily better than most computer generated characters (Jar Jar comes to mind) as they are made of substance rather than just plonked onto the screen. Another great feature of this film, is that it takes itself very seriously, despite abounding in cute creatures, they are all just accepted as being like our cats and dogs, which adds the realism and therefore enjoyment of the film.

Lets hope the anime prequel comes to fruition, if it hasn't already :)

This animated short is from what dreams are made. Its musical direction, humour, animation, build up and climax are flawless. It is funny that this small animated feature is worthy of such praise, no matter how great it is.

However, the fact that this cartoon is only six minutes long means that it can achieve said perfection. Recent, much longer, fantasy epics are some of the greatest films of all time, however, their length (which is totally necessary) adds to the potential for problems.

Yet, to say that "The Rabbit of Seville" is short but sweet is akin to saying the battle of Stalingrad was a "bit messy".

Chuck Jones, Mel Blanc and all involved created perfection with this, all further attempts at animated comic shorts should be judged by this standard of excellence.
