Edgar Allan Pooh . . . with their animated short from the 1950s titled RABBIT RAMPAGE. Donald J. Trump is SO elderly that he was able to enjoy RABBIT RAMPAGE on the big screen when it first came out. As a young lad, Leader Trump was so impressed by the concept here of Elmer Fudd moving Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole into the sky, erasing Bugs' head, and giving Bugs demeaning labels and paint jobs that wee Trump became obsessed with making Elmer's Revenge Story his own Real Life Deal. (Of course, at this time young Leader Trump was suffering from constant bullying about his tiny fingers and T-Rex-like atrophied arms.) Trump-the-Boy decided that these other kids were not Real. This Solipcistic Approach to Life has allowed Leader Trump to discard worn out wives left and right, weasel out of all of a responsible citizen's tax obligations for the Common Good, violate contracts he's signed by the hundreds, shortchange his lowliest dishwashers on their wages, curse and slander President and Pope alike, and run a bankruptcy-based Ponzi Scheme to gain whatever "Wealth" he has. Just as Warner Bros. feared, the American Voters are proving that they are NOT Real People with the ability for individual critical thinking, but merely 350 million props to Mr. Fudd\Trump's Megalomania.

utgard14 Trying to replicate his success with Duck Amuck, Chuck Jones returns to the "breaking the fourth wall" routine with this short. Here Bugs Bunny fights with his unseen (until the end) animator, who has a grudge against him. It's not a bad cartoon and I don't really fault Chuck Jones or writer Michael Maltese for ripping off their own idea. After all, ideas were (and still are) recycled all the time in cartoons. But this one does suffer by comparison, as well as the fact that, as other reviewers have mentioned, the plot is more suited to Daffy than Bugs. No one watches a Bugs short to see him frustrated and one-upped at every turn. We like to see him get the upper hand and outsmart his foes. At one point Bugs even mimics Yosemite Sam by using the word "idjit." Still, there are some amusing bits here and there. The animation, music, and voice work are all top notch. On a related note, there was a video game for the Super Nintendo called Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage that was released in the 1990s. It was obviously inspired by this short, both in title and plot. I haven't played it since I was a kid but I recall liking it.

ldavis-2 Although brought to you by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese, the geniuses behind "Duck Amuck," "Rabbit Rampage" isn't half the pic that is for one reason: their refusal to follow through on the premise.In "Duck Amuck," Daffy has absolutely no control over what happens. Here, Bugs always has some control, even when he loses his cool; he even takes the paint brush away from his "tormentor." Daffy nearly comes to blows with his twin; Bugs kicks his twins out of the frame. Daffy never learns who drove him to the brink of madness; from the start, Bugs knows who's wielding that paint brush. Elmer declares he "finally got back" at Bugs, but did he? To "get back" at someone, you must have complete control. When Bugs brings down the "The End" card, which he tells Elmer he can't stop him from doing, he takes that control and comes out on top, as usual. That decision by Jones and Maltese dooms "Rabbit Rampage" to one of the rare misfires in the Bugs Bunny canon.

Betelgeuse-19 If you have seen both this and "Duck Amuck," you'll probably say that they are basically cousins. At that point you're correct.I'll start off by telling you that this is _NOT_ superior or equal to "Duck Amuck" in any way or form, but still manages to hit the nail on the head pretty well despite a few flaws. Although the jokes aren't the same, their theme is identical in some ways. For example: in "Duck Amuck," Daffy Duck is crudely painted by his animator, and later on is redrawn to wearing a baby's garnet, having a flag for a tail that shows a screw and a ball, and walks on his arms and legs; while in "Rabbit Rampage," Bugs Bunny has his ears redrawn into a humans and later on the ears are redrawn into very long, dragging ears. What I mean is: character doctoring, but here, it still manages to give some laughs.Overall, despite over-copying themes to jokes from its superior cousin, "Rabbit Rampage" still holds up as a good package.8/10
