I love this movie so much

Sorry, this movie sucks

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The first in Chuck Jones' classic hunting trilogy featuring Bugs, Daffy, and Elmer. The premise is pretty much the same in each one. Elmer's hunting rabbits but Bugs tells him it's duck season. So Elmer goes after Daffy, who tells him that it's rabbit season. This goes on throughout the short, with many funny gags (usually at Daffy's expense) and lines. My favorite parts are Bugs and Daffy pretending to be one another and the silly bit with the elephant. Terrific voice work from legends Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan. Lively music from Carl Stalling. The animation is excellent and the colors are beautiful. It's one of the greatest Bugs & Daffy shorts ever; a classic in every sense. All three of the cartoons in this trilogy are wonderful but this first one might be the best.

Looney Tunes made three episodes where Daffy tries to make Elmer shoot Bugs Bunny, so he cannot be shot himself (in each episode it is REALLY Duck season). This is the first of the three, the ones to follow are "Rabbit Seasoning" and "Duck Rabbit Duck!" This is my personal favourite of the hunting trilogy, because I prefer the animation and the jokes to the other two. Elmer is a strangely likable character whom many viewers of this cartoon will love and Daffy, despite being cruel, does not behave as cruelly as he does in the rest of the trilogy, or in some of his later episodes. If you are familiar with Elmer Fudd, you will probably know that in this episode he is hunting rabbits. Daffy leads him (in an intelligent way) to Bugs' burrow and tries to make Elmer shoot Bugs, but ends up shooting Daffy instead. The jokes are very clever and if this is your first episode with Daffy, Elmer and Bugs, you will, very likely, find this incredibly amusing.I recommend this to people who like episodes where Daffy is more crafty than crazy and if you like slapstick in Looney Tunes at least a little bit. Enjoy "Rabbit Fire"! :-)

"Rabbit Fire" is a Warner Bros. cartoon classic, containing the most memorable Duck Season/Wabbit Season debate between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. As he does in several other cartoons such as "Haredevil Hare" (1948) and "Baseball Bugs" (1946), Bugs pulls a clever word switch in getting Daffy to insist that it is Duck Season instead of Wabbit Season. Of course, Daffy always loses in his confrontations with Bugs and repeatedly gets his bill knocked off by Elmer Fudd's shotgun. I suppose it is pleasing, however, to see Daffy finally get revenge on Elmer by biting his leg.Here are some other highlights from "Rabbit Fire" (but watch the cartoon first before you read on). At the closing of this short, Bugs and Daffy discover that it's actually Elmer Season, so they don hunting outfits and adopt Elmer's accent & laugh as they explain to the audience that they are on the lookout for him. When Daffy disguises as Bugs and vice versa, it becomes very clear why Mel Blanc is known as the "Man of a Thousand Voices"; it actually sounds like Daffy doing Bugs' voice and Bugs doing Daffy's voice! And there are some great musical references in this cartoon as well. When Bugs disguises himself as a female hunter, "Oh! You Beautiful Doll" can be heard, and it was also used in another Warner Bros. cartoon called "Feed the Kitty" (1952). As Bugs and Daffy walk away from Elmer and remove their respective duck and rabbit disguises, we hear the song "You're Just an Angel in Disguise," also heard in the Porky Pig cartoon "Kitty Kornered" (1946). And finally, as Bugs and Daffy are reading their respective duck and rabbit recipes, "Mommy's Little Baby Loves Shortening Bread" can be heard, and this catchy little tune can also be heard in the Porky Pig cartoon "Swooner Crooner" (1944).Overall, "Rabbit Fire" is a wonderful cartoon, and it pleases me to know that it has been released on DVD (Disc 2 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1). Watch it for yourself and enjoy!

This is the first of Chuck Jones' famous "Hunting Trilogy". The premise of all three films (Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck! being the other two) is that Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck try to persuade Elmer Fudd as to whether it's duck hunting season or rabbit hunting season. All three are classics, and all are very close to being a continuation of the previous one. Many stations wouldn't air these because of violence, and when Fox used to have a show called Merrie Melodies, they cut the scenes where Daffy Duck gets shot. If I had to choose the best of the bunch, I pick this one because it has one of the funniest endings of any cartoon ever made.
