It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This is a funny short, part of the Wile E. Coyote vs Bugs Bunny series, directed by the great Chuck Jones. Here we have a talking Wile E. Coyote (or "Coyotay," as he pronounces it) trying to catch and eat Bugs. Unlike his attempts at catching the Road Runner involving elaborate traps and devices, here Wile E. employs very simple methods that seem more like something Elmer Fudd would come up with, not a self-described super genius. It's a fun cartoon with colorful animation and some clever gags and verbal humor. Excellent voice work from the incomparable Mel Blanc. Wile E. Coyote is a fun adversary for Bugs in the few shorts they did together. This isn't the best in the series but it's breezy entertainment that should please most fans.

'Rabbit's Feat' is a very odd cartoon for Chuck Jones, especially for the time (1960). It's nothing like any of his other Bugs Bunny toons and is an intentional throwback to the Tex Avery/Bob Clampett Bugs shorts from the early 40s. The first big tip-off that this will not be a typical Jones- Bugs cartoon is when Wile E. sticks his head down into Bugs' rabbit hole and, unlike the four poster bed that Bugs usually sleeps in, Bugs is in a baby crib curled up in the fetal position, sucking his thumb.Unlike the straight man or urbane smart-aleck that Jones usually preferred, this Bugs is outright wacky: suspending himself in mid-air before using his ears to corkscrew himself into his rabbit hole, planting huge smooches on Wile E. Coyote like he did in the older Elmer Fudd matchups, making surreal statements ("Daddy you're back from Peru!") and periodically screaming at the top of his lungs causing Wile E. to shoot up into the air. He even uses a trademark Clampett-Bugs line "Agony! Aaa-go-neee!".All-in-all a great cartoon and a real change of pace for Chuck Jones.

My personal favourite though is Operation:Rabbit. But this doesn't deter from both watching and enjoying this hugely enjoyable Looney Tunes cartoon. Even with the predictable story, in a way that is, Rabbit's Feat is enormously entertaining and one of the better Bugs vs Wile cartoons in my opinion.I especially love the way the humour was carried out. The dialogue is still witty and fresh, and out of these batch of cartoons the sight gags are among the funniest and most original. What also helps is that Rabbit's Feat is paced at breakneck speed without being too rushed, while the animation is colourful, the music is full of rousing energy and the voice work from Mel Blanc voicing both Bugs and Wile who individually and together are quite a team is brilliant.All in all, a winner. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Rating 10/10 Explanation: A movie anyone should see. Ranges anywhere from excellent to brilliant classic. In this next installment, Wile E. gets more even with Bugs Bunny for his pleasurable food. His luck isn't any better than it was in "Opearation: Rabbit" when he tries to get Bugs with many odd things to catch a rabbit with. The animation style in this one is cleaner and more drastically changed from the 50s style but it sure does give laughs.
