Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) This is my favorite out of the three "hunting" cartoons from Chuck Jones and one of his writers Michael Maltese.I love it when Daffy's beak goes in every directions when ever he gets shot by Elmer, when when Daffy disguise himself as a rabbit and Bugs as a duck and when they disguise themselves as a woman hunter and her dog. Well I don't necessarily go with Bugs dressing in drag, I mean it may be funny way back then but I think it's...kind of disturbing now. I also thought it is amazing that Mel Blanc make his character voices (Bugs & Daffy) imitate each other.So anyway, that is all I have to say about this cartoon is that I really love it.

TheLittleSongbird As much as I LOVED Rabbit Seasoning, Rabbit Fire was every bit as good. A truly brilliant cartoon from the wonderful Hunting Trilogy. Here Daffy is quite a jerk again, and he gets the worst of the butt of the jokes, and Bugs is his rascally self. The writing is outstanding here, the witty interplay between Bugs and Daffy was close to hysterical at times. Also the animation is consistently excellent, same with the music. The sight gags are really inspired, and right at this moment I am trying to count how many times I laughed during this, the bit with the elephant is priceless. The answer is a lot, I can't keep count. It really makes the most out of a story that has been done a lot in other Looney Tunes shorts. Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan flawlessly provide the voices. Overall, I highly recommend Rabbit Fire. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Michael_Elliott Rabbit Fire (1951) **** (out of 4) This here is one of the all-time great Looney Tune shorts as it features three legendary characters doing some of their best work. Elmer Fudd heads out to the woods to do some hunting when Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck begin fighting over what season it is. There isn't one bad second in this film as it's pure gold from start to finish with non-stop laughs. One of the main reasons this short is so great is because of the violence, which several television stations cut out when they originally aired. The violence in the movie is pretty much non-stop as Daffy is constantly getting shot at close range, which makes his face move around constantly. The violence might make some parents keep this away from their children, which is understandable but at the same time this here was certainly made for adults. The ending of the movie, which I won't spoil, is also priceless. Elmer, Bugs and Daffy are certainly at the top of their game here with the dialogue being perfect as well as the scenarios. The back and forth "Duck Season/Rabbit Season" ranks right up there with Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First" as some of the greatest dialogue.

tavm Of the three shorts directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese that starred Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd in the "Hunting Trilogy" series, this, Rabbit Fire was the first. When I originally saw this as a nearly 10-year-old kid in the late '70s, I laughed out loud at the way Bugs kept tricking Daffy into saying, "Duck season, fire!" with the result of Elmer shooting the duck's face and Daffy's beak either falling off, or spinning, or his head hanging upside down. Other funny stuff involves the wabbit and duck impersonating each other in costume, their reading recipes of what each other would taste like followed by "mmmm-mmm" sounds, Bugs fooling Elmer with his female disguise (again!), an "elephant gun" gag, and the final twist that I won't reveal here. After all these years, this is one of my favorites among many classic Warner Bros. cartoons.
