Redundant and unnecessary.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"Operation: Rabbit" is an American 7-minute cartoon from 1952, so this one will have its 65th anniversary next year. It is by Warner Bros. and features Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese and Mel Blanc, the biggest players of the company in their respective areas directing, writing and (voice) acting. The only somewhat unusual thing is that Coyote is mostly known for going up against Roadrunner, but here he gets his fair share from Bugs Bunny, despite being a self-proclaimed genius. And Coyote is unusually talkative in here, so I am a bit surprised these two do not have many more films together. I actually preferred this version here, but then again I never cared a lot about Roadrunner, almost found him unlikable on some occasions. So yeah, this was a decent funny watch and I recommend checking it out. Go see it. Thumbs down.

I love Bugs Bunny and I like Wile E.Coyote, and I thoroughly enjoy their cartoons together on the whole. Yes even more so than the Raodrunner vs. Coyote cartoons, I like those too but these have more wit and personality. Operation:Rabbit is my personal favourite of their cartoons, it is simply brilliant. Whether it is the best Looney Tunes short, or one of their better ones, or even my favourite cartoon is up for debate still in my mind, but I cannot deny whatever the answer this cartoon is excellent. Great animation, energetic music, cracking pace, witty dialogue and wonderful sight gags are just a few things to like about Operation:Rabbit. Plus Bugs and Coyote work perfectly together, cunning Wile E.Coyote is wonderful with Bugs who is every bit his equal in terms of personality and Mel Blanc voices both characters brilliantly as he always does. Overall, brilliant and recommended. 10/10 Bethany Cox

'Operation: Rabbit' is a Merrie Melodies cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote, both voiced by Mel Blanc. It is the first cartoon where the coyote tells us his real name. He thinks he is a genius and in the first scene he puts a door in front of a rabbit hole, knocks the door and waits for Bugs to open. He then explains how smart and fast he is and that it is better for Bugs to surrender himself to the coyote. It is a great start for a great cartoon.Of course Bugs will not surrender and so the coyote has to come up with a couple of plans to catch the rabbit. And although we know he will fail with every attempt the gags are not really predictable. Directed by Chuck Jones, who makes almost everything work, this cartoon is definitely worth watching.

Rating 10/10 Explanation: A movie anyone should see. It could range anywhere from excellent to brilliant classic. As you could see in plots, Wile E. Coyote hiatuses his chases with the Road Runner in temporary favor of Bugs Bunny. Does his luck change? No, not really, in fact, not at all. The laughs from this short can bring it to the greatest Looney Tunes short in history.
