Mightyzebra I very much enjoyed this Bugs Bunny cartoon for the following reasons: 1. The way they played on the Robin Hood + Little John + Sheriff of Nottingham stories. 2. Bugs Bunny's character and how he reacts to the cartoon's situations, here he is a very intelligent bunny. 3. The humour, it is often very witty and quite unexpected. When it is slapsticky and predictable, though, it is still pretty well pulled off. 4. The background animation, very lovely colours and animation style. 5. The cameo appearance of a famous actor at the end, obviously taken from a film.If there was anything that I felt was imperfect about the cartoon, it was the fact that it was slightly slapsticky at points (there is one dragged out slapstick bit near the end which the makers could have cut a little).In this cartoon, Bugs Bunny has unknowingly arrived at the castle grounds of the King in Robin Hood's time and has picked a carrot from the King's Carrot Patch. Unfortunately, the King has a strict policy for whoever steals his carrots and it seems to be the rack for Bugs Bunny if he does not manage to escape...I recommend this cartoon to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny and to anyone who likes a good enough mixture of slapstick and witty humour in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Enjoy, "Rabbit Hood"! :-) 8 and a half out of ten.P.S Did anyone else notice that the tune for the opening credits was the same one they used for "Duck Amuck" in about 4 years time?
Neil Doyle It's almost as if Warner Bros. was preparing audiences for the re-release of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD by having this proclamation made several times by Little John in this Bugs Bunny cartoon, RABBIT HOOD. And perhaps it was planned that way, because the feature was released to theaters around this time.Anyway, it's another Bugs Bunny romp with the Sheriff of Nottingham catching him poaching carrots from the King's Garden. From then on, it's the usual shenanigans with Bugs putting one over on the Sheriff, even donning disguises in an effort to convince the man that he's the king. All of it, of course, is extremely silly but leads toward a good finish with footage of Flynn actually appearing when Robin Hood finally does show up.As amusing as it is, it's not one of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons--there were so many others that were much funnier than this. Mel Blanc does a terrific job on the voices.
didi-5 This clever cartoon has Bugs Bunny playing both Robin Hood and the king, as he plots to steal the carrots from the Royal garden. A one-joke film, perhaps, but it does have as its crowning glory a snippet from the 1938 'Adventures of Robin Hood'.Is it any good? Most of the early Bugs Bunny films (of which this is one) were sharp - relying on the genius of Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones to deliver the laughs and the situations their audience were looking for. 'Rabbit Hood' is no exception. Bugs is at his usual foolish and arrogant best, with his spluttering catchphrases and his withering looks at the hapless people he cons (the Sheriff of Nottingham, of course, here).
mjsmith Forget "What's Opera, Doc?"!!!This is THE Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny cartoon that I admired the most!The reason for it, is of the ending, which use two short snips from the Errol Flynn Classic, "The Adventures Of Robin Hood", to Classic Use!Chuck Jones & Michael Maltese ought to give the public thanks for that one instead!!!
