Rabbit Stew and Rabbits Too!

Released June 7, 1969. Norm McCabe is among the animators in this obvious roadrunner-coyote knockoff. Musician Bill Lava goes from disonant chords like he used on the roadrunner cartoons to a 60s guitar bed.

Interesting cartoon that does not have Bugs Bunny

[jgbennie]

@Shadowhawk28 Bugs had been retired from theatrical work at that point. Considering the plot, he would have been wasted in this.

Yes, THIS is my favorite of the Warner/Seven Arts Looney Tunes batch! Even though it is somewhat of a Road Runner knock-off, the music is awesome, and the use of pantomime and visual humor is excellent, as the other shorts rely more on puns and dialogue for most of their humor.

Another actually good late 1960s Looney Tunes short. Rabbid Rabbit is awfully cute and once again the music is good-so good I can still remember it!

I also love the part with the rabbit trap.

@alex9920iasi To me it's more of a parody of the cartoons that had Wile E. Coyote chasing Bugs Bunny then anything.

@wileyk209zback Well, they should have made him brown so his name would make more sense.

[wileyk209zback]

@Stephen10528 It's based off the old alphabet sentence "The Quick Brown Fox jumps over the lazy dog."

[Stephen10528]

That fox is so stupid! At one point he has a chance to get the rabbit & doesn't notice it; that time the rabbit is trying to walk away w/ a carrot the fox has tied to a machine w/ a hammer-like device on it & the fox walks up & pushes him away. When the fox walks up to the rabbit he could easily get him then.

Pretty cool this parody of Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. In my opinion, that's the only good Looney Tunes cartoon from the LATE 60's. The backgrounds are way better than ones from other cartoons released at the same period, also the plot and the gags are funnier.

hell yeah and if this was the sengoku period, then hanna-barberra was the

oda nobunaga of the late classical cartoon period (1968-199X) but if W7

was to contunue with what they were doing, then they would've been the

oda nobunaga of the late classical cartoon period

[RantingRedHead1988]

@Addiskrilla gotta love a rurouni kenshin example

[Addiskrilla]

I guess 1970 was the "Meiji era" for warner

Bros. And 1969 was the last shogunate

For the samurai at W7
