    Starts off slow, but when it livens up it is very amusing

    I do agree that this is not one of Bug's better efforts, but it is an amusing little cartoon. What doesn't make it as good is that the first two minutes or so is a tad slow and unfunny, but once the action moves to the kitchen it is then when it gets quite amusing. There are a number of good things, particularly the art work, as the Parisian backgrounds are beautiful to look at. The music is great, and the sight gags in the latter half range from pretty good to very good indeed. Bugs himself is great, and the two chefs are not too bad either, personally it would have been better with just one chef but oh well. Finally, Mel Blanc's vocal characterisations are stellar as always. Overall, slow to start with, but it is really quite amusing once it kicks off. 8/10 Bethany Cox

    Colorful, But Not Too Humorous

    Bugs, hiding inside a crate of carrots, winds up on the streets of Paris when the crate falls off the truck. He then meanders down the street and is spotted by competing chefs. They both think the rabbit is what they need to complete their menus. The colors in here are magnificent as they make Paris look really colorful.

    Our bunny hero, as he usually does, makes fools of his opponents in a variety of ways that makes them look really stupid. In this case, one of the chefs is a little too stupid for humor. Although there were a handful of funny lines at the expense of the French stereotypes at the time, this really wasn't one of the better Bugs Bunny efforts.

    Quoi est up, Doc?

    Bugs Bunny gets caught between two snooty Parisian chefs trying to turn him into their main course. Once again, the team behind the Looney Tunes cartoons created a clever, irreverent litany of wackiness. If "French Rarebit" has any problem, it's that the cartoon stereotypes France. But hey, this is a joke here! The point is to luxuriate in Bugs's antics. And believe me, you're sure to have a good time. As we should all know by now, nothing is sacred to Bugs, as he trashes the rules day in and day out. It's a hoot from start to finish. In conclusion: Vive la France! Because we might just all be the pickle.

    Moan-sirs and madame-oizels. Ha!

    Always a favorite!

    For whatever reason, (probably that I saw this cartoon 6 billion times on TV when I was a kid) this one has always stuck with me. The music stand out for me too.

    When Bugs is 'kneading" the two Chefs—that "urmf! oof! arf!" sound Bugs makes has cracked me up for almost fifty years!

    I also love the characterizations of the two chefs: their outrageous, over-the-top accents of the Chefs and just their whole look—particularly with rabbit teeth.

    I admit, there's not much to the script. Perhaps it stands out for the never-before-seen characters...

    another Bugs classic

    Bugs Bunny is in a crate of carrots from the USA. It falls off the back of the truck and Bugs finds himself in Paris. Two rival French chefs from restaurants on opposite sides of the street are excited to see a rabbit walking towards them. They are eager to put him on their menus.

    This is yet another classic memorable Bugs Bunny cartoon. I remember everything after the arrival of Louie and Francois. I like their designs although I may like them more if they're opposites instead of the same. Maybe they could be one fat and one skinny. Bugs Bunny keeps hitting home run after home run and this is no exception.
