Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Rebel Rabbit is an anomaly in the Bugs Bunny cartoons: In this one, Bugs is the aggressor, and he ends up losing the fight. It starts out with Bugs noting that there are bounties on various animals, only to be highly insulted by the two-cent bounty on rabbits. When a supericilious forest ranger explains to him that "rabbits are sweet and harmless, and the bounty will remain two cents," Bugs stomps out, vowing to make it clear that rabbits are the most dangerous animals around. In short order, he pulls stunts like filling in the Grand Canyon, swiping all the locks off the Panama Canal, painting barbershop-pole stripes on the Washington Monument, and sawing Florida off from the rest of the country. After an angry Congressman demands action, the cartoon then includes live-action footage of the entire War Department mobilizing against Bugs Bunny. Tanks come rumbling out of their garages, soldiers pour out of barracks, bugles blow and Bugs, contentedly contemplating a reward for him of several million dollars, is snapped out of his daydreams by the whole Army coming after him. After a mighty explosion, he winds up in Alcatraz, wondering if he took things a little too far. This cartoon is difficult to find; as far as this reviewer knows, it's never been released on home video. This article is from Wikipedia.
