SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) It would certainly have helped him if he knew how to writer or at least how to spell like Bugs does. This is a short cartoon movie from over 60 years ago and like most of these it runs for roughly 7 minutes. It is definitely one of the more famous Warner Bros. short films starring Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. Both are voiced of course again by Mel Blanc and he and the writer Michael Maltese and director Chuck Jones are easily among the most prolific trios in terms of filmmaking.It's hunting season, but who gets hunted. Well.. Daffy does, but he does his best to make it look like everybody except ducks are hunted that time of the year. Unfortunately, Bugs is not willing to pose as a target for Elmer Fudd's shooting escapades and that's truly bad news for Daffy. In this short movie, unlike in most of the others, Fudd is really just an instrument for the two to go against each other, well really only for going against Daffy. And right when it looks like there is a happy ending even for the duck, things get really bad for him again. Solid short movie. Pretty entertaining, but not great by any means. Recommended.
TheLittleSongbird The Hunting Trilogy is a superb trilogy of Looney Tunes cartoons. All three cartoons are absolutely brilliant, Rabbit Seasoning, Rabbit Fire and this, Duck! Rabbit, Duck! Duck! Rabbit, Duck mayn't be my personal favourite of the three(that's Rabbit Seasoning) but it is absolutely outstanding on all levels. Is it one joke? It is rather, but it works. The animation is colourful and audacious, and the score is deliciously rousing. Then the cartoon is filled to the brim with sparkling and witty dialogue, the best coming from Daffy, and the sight gags are fast, furious and fun. And Bugs, Daffy and Elmer are on top form with superb chemistry. Bugs is indeed fantastic, arrogant, rascally and witty, and Elmer is very entertaining not to mention a tad dumb. But Daffy is the one who steals the show, giving one of his funniest performances in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Here my favourite little black duck is a perfect balance of the manic and greedy. Overall, simply brilliant. 10/10 Bethany Cox
phantom_tollbooth Chuck Jones's 'Duck! Rabbit, Duck!' is the last installment of the celebrated hunting trilogy. Often considered the weakest of the three cartoons, I believe it is at least as funny as its two predecessors. Set in a snowy wintertime wood as opposed to the summery setting of the other two cartoons, 'Duck! Rabbit, Duck!' is an attractive and hilarious short which hinges on a brilliant running gag involving Daffy being duped into proclaiming that he is a series of different animals, all of which correspond to signs held up by Bugs. As with its two predecessors, 'Duck! Rabbit, Duck!' features a variety of jokes involving Daffy's beak being blown off and plenty of ingenious wordplay. It culminates in the most violent moment of the whole trilogy. Easily the equal of its two predecessors, 'Duck! Rabbit, Duck!' is a superb final entry in a historical series of cartoons by one of the masters of the animated art form. What more recommendation do you need?!!
Rick Payne (macross_sd) "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!" is the best of the "Hunter Trilogy." From the ubiquitous sign gags that only get funnier (Daffy: You dirty dog... Bugs: And YOU'RE a dirty skunk! Daffy: I'm a dirty skunk? I'M a dirty skunk!? Sign: Dirty Skunk Season Elmer: Blam!) to the wonderful ending where poor Elmer gets driven mad, this short is a laugh a second, and one of the prime examples why Chuck Jones will be missed.
