Professor Canafrazz cooks up a carrot to turn Bugs Bunny into Super-Rabbit. He just needs to keep eating those special carrots to maintain his superpowers. He reads that rabbit-hating Cottontail Smith has been wiping out rabbits in Texas. Now he has a mission.
This is a reference to Superman. I wish that they go full out with doing a Superman rabbit. Why not have an advanced alien planet of rabbits? That would be loads of fun. Nevertheless, this is Bugs Bunny and it's good as most Bugs episodes are. I would still make Bugs an alien. He could be battling a wolf from a wolf planet. That would be better.

This of one of the best Bugs Bunny films ever. Aside from the comedy it is also memorable due to both the coming of WWII. I loved the bit with Bug's hoping along with the cowboy as all the characters switch positions. Also...when Bug's "assumes the role of a woodland creature" he's a perfect Clark Kent. The best has to be the Bugs Bunny Cheer.
"Bricka bracka firecracker sis boom bah! Bugs Bunny!Bugs Bunny! Bugs Bunny! RAH RAH RAH!"
Finally Bugs' admitting that, "This looks like a job for a REAL super hero," and emerges as a Marine. :)

This was a fun parody on the superhero genre, and Bugs couldn't have been a more perfect choice as the one and only "Super-Rabbit". The story is a nice one, not the best structured one there is, but it is never dull and moves quickly. The animation is beautifully done, and the music is top-notch. The supporting characters are careful not to overshadow Bugs while being effective on their own terms too. I loved the visual gags and the witty and razor sharp dialogue. And I too loved Mel Blanc's vocal characterisations, with Kent Rogers also great as Professor Canafrazz. Overall, a fun Bugs Bunny cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox
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.'
Did you know
- TriviaThe U.S. Marine Corps was so flattered that Bugs Bunny decides to become a Marine in this film that it insisted he be officially inducted into the Corps as a private, which was done, complete with dogtags. Bugs was regularly promoted until he was officially "discharged" at the end of World War II as a Master Sergeant.
- GoofsWhen setting out on his mission, Bugs puts five super-carrots into his case, yet by the end of the cartoon the case seems to hold several dozen carrots.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: Eh, what are you shootin' at, doc?
Cottontail Smith: Rabbits. I hate rabbits. If there's anything I hate more than a rabbit, it's two rabbits.
