Edgar Allan Pooh . . . it's seldom with this much fanfare. You might remember that we first meet Bruce the Great White scarfing down Bikini Girl in JAWS. Mr. B. does not take the time so much as to salt her (though perhaps this would be a redundant condiment, given her basting of seawater). Similarly, the grizzly did not waste any ketchup on Leo in THE REVENANT. And while the first title character (SPOILER ALERT!) of A BOY AND HIS DOG feeds the spunky gal to the second, Worchester Sauce is nowhere to be seen (though this pair cannot be classified as savages, as they enjoy their repast well-done over an open flame). In FRENCH RAREBIT, Bugs Bunny marinates, pickles, flours, kneads, seasons, and finally cooks two Frenchmen. Warner Bros. cannot be accused of promoting cannibalism, as these Frogs are technically human and Bugs himself is, of course, a rabbit. Since most people feel no qualms about dismembering, cooking, chewing up, and digesting their fellow mammal friends, Warner is simply presenting Bugs here in a more humane light.

TheLittleSongbird 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

badtzxo 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...

movieman_kev Mention the name Robert McKimson to any TRUE Looney Tunes fan and you're likely to get a sad sigh in return. The man just did not know how to make good Bugs Bunny cartoons. This one about Bugs in France mixing it up with two rival chefs who each want the rabbit for their own respective cuisines, is not an exception to the rule. On the contrary, it proves the rule by being yet another lackluster effort by McKimson indeed. I mean any bugs is good bugs, but his shorts are pretty mundane and I find myself saddened when I have to sit through one. This animated short can be seen on Disc 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2.My Grade: C
