Super-Rabbit

Still in his relative infancy, Bugs Bunny becomes a superhero out to fight an anti-rabbit cowboy. I really liked the scene of the two of them on the horse. Maybe the wartime themes make us cringe a little bit nowadays, but they're not vicious by any stretch (although I hear that some Looney Tunes cartoons were). Maybe this wasn't the greatest Bugs Bunny cartoon in history, but it's definitely worth seeing. Anyone can plainly see why the Looney Tunes cartoons from the '40s and '50s were some of the best cartoons in cinema history (I can't say the same for their modern cartoons; for starters, no more Mel Blanc). A real classic.

This 1943 Merrie Melodies cartoon transforms Bugs Bunny into Superman, with big ears.In Charles M. Jones' Super-Rabbit Professor Cannafraz gives Bugs Bunny a super carrot, that gives him incredible strength and a flying ability.He flies out to fight Cottontail Smith, whose plan is to hunt down all the rabbits.The voice artists here are Mel Blanc, Tedd Pierce and Kent Rogers.This short is the most hilarious Superman parody.Like in the scene where Bugs passes by a horse in the air, who shouts, "a rabbit? Up HERE!?"Or Bugs playing basketball with a cannonball.In the end Bugs becomes a Marine, which made the U.S. Marine Corps so glad they wanted the character to be officially inducted into the force as a private.What a hero, that Bugs Bunny!

This was an extremely funny Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny gains super powers by eating special carrots, dons a suit similar to Superman and goes after Cottontail Smith. There were a lot of funny and original gags in this cartoon. Probably one of the best Bugs Bunny cartoons ever. If you enjoyed this cartoon, I suggest you see Daffy Duck don the super suit in 'Stupor Duck.'

I found this an enjoyable Bugs Bunny cartoon with story written by Tedd Pierce. Normally I don't really like parody; in fact I hate it! Also I'm not too crazy about Superman either because I'm rooting for Batman. But I do love it when Bugs becomes "SUPER RABBIT!" defending the rabbits of "Deepinharta," Texas from Cottontail Smith the rabbit hater. I mean, dude! What have you got against rabbits huh?

One more thing to point out is that I really against animal testing - in real life that is. Like Bugs was a test subject in the laboratory of a scientist who has invented a "super carrot," which when eaten by Bugs gives him Superman-like powers. Overall I give this short an 6/10 stars for a mediocre story-line.

Classic Looney Tunes take on Superman (probably one of the very first such parodies). In this story, Bugs Bunny eats a carrot created by a mad scientist and gains super powers. He decides to use these powers to take on famous Texas rabbit hunter Cottontail Smith. Many funny lines and gags follow, ending with Bugs deciding to become a REAL Superman in a nicely patriotic ending. The animation is wonderful with lovely colors and backgrounds. I especially liked the scientist's laboratory. The music is lively and fun. Superb voicework from Mel Blanc and Kent Rogers. It's a great cartoon with a still-evolving Bugs Bunny that should please any Looney Tunes fan. Plus it should be of interest to Superman fans who might not typically watch these old cartoons.
