darkshadow-80016 I've seen Bobsheaux (a reviewer on YouTube) do a riffing video and it was really funny.The Adventures of American Rabbit is kind of like a "so bad that it's good" movie. What I mean is that you should get all your friends, family, and their friends, sit down with some snacks, and just riff the heck out of it. But on a serious note, this movie is ripping off Superman's theme, Captain America's design (only a little), and even the Star Wars theme and I'm surprised that no one who watched it even noticed. It also doesn't help that this movie has basically every superhero's problem when they first get their powers. The villain threatens the lives of their friends/family and innocents alike if the hero doesn't do what the villain wants and needs a pep-talk to get back in the game. But other than the many jokes you can make out of this film, I recommend it because it has Peter Vankman's (Ghostbusters cartoon) and Garfield's 80's voice actor in it. And that's really it. The other problems are: the hero is lame, the villain is even lamer, the old rabbit in it just comes off as creepy like Herbert from Family Guy, the hero's friends are completely useless to the plot, and speaking of which, the plot twist, involving the villain, close to the end is just....dumb. But if there's three nice things that I have to say about the movie it's this: the jokes you'll make, some kids might like it, and...well, let's just say that all the jokes I made were because it took place in San Francisco. Hint Hint.

adam1117 No one watching this film casually is going to find anything political about this movie. They'll just see it as a fun little superhero cartoon. But, after reading some reviews here, I decided to watch it again. I didn't see anything that would suggest putting the National Anthem into a cartoon, as one review suggested, or anything all that patriotic, for that matter. Surprisingly, this isn't anti-Marxist at all. If anything, it's pro-Marxist.There's an early scene in which the characters organize a rally against the bad guys, and the scene, in a not-so-subtle way, suggests unionizing workers. The bad guys, led by a dude in a business suit, take over the city's supply of chocolate (controlling the means of production and what have you). I thought my idea that the shoe was Marxist was falling apart when one of the good guys said "I know people who can help us. Big, corporation guys!" Then, however, it turned out that the corporations were working for the bad guys!My favorite Marxist moment comes early on, when the bad guys ask an "intellectual" for directions to the library. Her reply: "Turn left on McCarthy." It's a bit of a stretch, I know, but it's fun, and may even be intentional.Of course, non-Marxists should still enjoy this movie, and there's no danger that it's going to make your kids into commies. While I for one found it to be, well, more pro-marxist than anti-marxist, it still isn't a political movie at all. An unfortunately overlooked picture. Not a masterpiece, but a fun movie for kids.

SHB_73 I remember seeing this as a kid in 1986 (at that time I didn't know what the cold war was.) But I liked it. what I remember most was the music, (especially when Rob the Bunny would transform into a bunny with roller skates and look like the American flag.) regardless of the message, it was a cute movie 3 stars

La Gremlin I remember watching this movie multiple times as a lass. I saw it again recently and found it to be just as charming now as then. The characters are very cute and I liked the fact that there were some very weird elements to this movie. For one thing, I have a vague memory that the Chocolate Moose and his son were trapped in the same kind of room that Louie's vampire "wife" was held in "Interview With a Vampire" (where the sun could vaporize her). Well, here, the moose were trapped in this room so they'd melt, as they're actual moose made of chocolate. Disturbing. And of course there's the little twist involving the villain and his pet vulture.Definitely give this a look, especially if you'd like to see some cute anime characters.
