Featured review
The stranded-on-an-uncharted-island premise has been used so many times, that the Termite Terrace crowd had to use it (and they would use it later for the feature film "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island"). In "Rabbitson Crusoe", Yosemite Sam - as foul-mouthed as ever - has been stranded for 20 years and is tired of eating coconuts and battling a shark (aka Shark-Livered Varmint, aka Hammerheaded Halibut) named Dopey Dick. So when Sam catches sight of Bugs Bunny floating around the ocean, he gets the rascally rabbit to come to the island...with the intention of turning him into rabbit stew. Sure enough, Bugs has ways of escaping this...which most likely involve Sam getting in danger.
As always, it's great fun to see Bugs turn the tables on individuals. And besides, Yosemite Sam is always asking for it. Maybe "Gilligan's Island" took a few tips from this cartoon. Really funny.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSam is briefly seen attempting to surf, although the California surf craze was still a few years off. Surfing on wooden longboards, however, had been introduced by Hawaiian legend Duke Kahanamoku in the early 20th century.
- GoofsAfter ballooning over to the ship, Bugs opens the hatch. Sam ends up in the water-filled hole with the shark, then they both go back to the island. When Sam pulls the match out of his pocket, it would still have been soaking wet, and would not have lighted.
