I love Bugs Bunny and I like Wile E.Coyote, and I thoroughly enjoy their cartoons together on the whole. Yes even more so than the Raodrunner vs. Coyote cartoons, I like those too but these have more wit and personality. Operation:Rabbit is my personal favourite of their cartoons, it is simply brilliant. Whether it is the best Looney Tunes short, or one of their better ones, or even my favourite cartoon is up for debate still in my mind, but I cannot deny whatever the answer this cartoon is excellent. Great animation, energetic music, cracking pace, witty dialogue and wonderful sight gags are just a few things to like about Operation:Rabbit. Plus Bugs and Coyote work perfectly together, cunning Wile E.Coyote is wonderful with Bugs who is every bit his equal in terms of personality and Mel Blanc voices both characters brilliantly as he always does. Overall, brilliant and recommended. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I love the Bugs vs Wile E. Coyote cartoons, better than just the Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons, and I the Chuck Jones/Phil Monroe collaboration in it as well. I also love the "OH NO!" take Bugs does after Wile tells him "I am going to eat you." And the ending where Bugs gives the "moral" of the story: "M.U.D. spell backwards is D.U.M."Being an interest in folklore and hearing from the commentary for this cartoon, there are some parallels of South-Western Indian folktales of Coyote, the trickster and a very proud and smug character. And also parallels from the African-American folktales of Br'er Rabbit & Br'er Fox; post-modern take. Only instead of using snare traps and tar dummies, Wile E. uses high explosives.So overall, I really love this cartoon and it's one of my favorite Bugs Bunny/Wile E. Coyote cartoons.

In a slight break from protocol, Chuck Jones, Michael Maltese, and Mel Blanc pit Wile E. Coyote - aka Supergenius - against Bugs Bunny. But, sure enough, Bugs has ways of avoiding capture...most of which involve Wile E. getting maimed somehow.The point is that no matter how hard he tries, Wile E. has no success in any field, whether going after the Road Runner or Bugs Bunny. And they play it to great effect. "Operation: Rabbit" is a classic just like the rest of the Looney Tunes cartoons from that era. Having Wile E. talk doesn't diminish the quality at all.Mud spelled backwards is dum. Exactly!

Wile E. Coyote just can't catch a break. One of several encounters with Bugs Bunny goes as badly for him as his attempts at catching the Roadrunner do. I feel for his life and accident insurers! It's a pity they only made 5 or 6 of these, because it's a good combination. Wile E. is a good foil for Bugs and most of the shorts are hilarious and all of them are enjoyable. The animators could stretch the characters in ways they couldn't normally. Most recommended
