Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Directed by Robert McKimson, "Rabbit's Kin" is a Bugs Bunny cartoon that benefits from the vocal talent of Stan Freberg as the "one-hit wonder" Pete Puma. Bugs is compelled to protect a helpless little kid bunny (whose voice is so sped up you can't understand him) from this absolutely dimwitted puma.My few favorite moments from "Rabbit's Kin": Pete Puma never does figure out what kind of "lumps" he asks for, and Bugs manages to blow him up twice - once with a stick of dynamite disguised as a rabbit, and once with an exploding "ceegar"."Rabbit's Kin" is a good cartoon that can be found on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 Disc 1, with an optional audio commentary by our dear friend Stan Freberg. I admit I had never heard of Pete Puma until I obtained this DVD collection; it's just too bad he never really seemed to catch on with the public.

I really enjoyed "Rabbit's Kin," mainly for the cute little rabbit (who is completely ununderstandable and painful for many ears), Bugs Bunny and Pete Puma, even though he is a little annoying and the animation is good. I also liked the humour - usually I find repetitive humour very irritating and it often puts me off the thing I am watching, but in this case I did not mind! Pete Puma is a good character, almost as likable as Elmer Fudd, but I would not give the tea leaves in my china teapot to see all his other episodes (if he has any more). He is surprisingly stupid, even more so than many of the the characters that Bugs Bunny is paired with.In this episode, we see a little brown bunny rabbit with big eyes, running away from something or other. He bumps into Bugs Bunny and tells him that a puma is trying to catch and eat him (here Bugs Bunny seems to be some kind of linguist, as he understands the baby bunny, yet no-one else understands him). We also meet Pete Puma, the puma trying to hunt the little brown rabbit...I recommend this episode to people who like Bugs Bunny and people who like repetitive cartoons (and even to some people who do not!). Enjoy "Rabbit's Kin"! :-)

Robert McKimson's Rabbit's Kin is not a great Bugs Bunny cartoon but it does have a great voice for Bugs' adversary here, Pete Puma, that of Stan Freberg's with that screeching laugh (or maybe it's just some kind of disgust reaction). A little rabbit with a highly-speeded up voice is afraid of this puma and goes to Bugs for help. The rabbit manages to trick Puma to accept various number of lumps hit on his head whenever he asks him, "How much would you like?" when referring to coffee or tea. Those scenes and that aforementioned screeching laugh were the most memorable parts of this short. The little rabbit himself named Shorty is pretty irritating. Glad he was a one-shot. Pete Puma would subsequently appear in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon made in the '90s. Would like to see that one. Anyway, this is on Volume one of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.

Sure,it's not the best McKimson cartoon out there,but the gags with Pete Puma actually made me laugh the first time I saw it.I loved the way Pete walked to Bugs and the little brown bunny when he was pretending to be the little brown bunny's mother,and the "How many lumps do ya want?" gag(s) is classic,especially the fact that Pete kept forgetting that he was going to be administered real lumps after saying "Oh,three or four..."This cartoon's my brother's second favorite cartoon(next to "Hot Cross Bunny"),and almost every time I pull out The Looney Tunes Golden Collection to watch,he exclaims "Go to the Pete Puma one!"Stan Freberg is an excellent voice artist and in the sense of best voice personality,Pete Puma is definitely the star of this cartoon(And I love Pete's unique laugh).I definitely recommend this to any Bugs Bunny fan who is a fan of obscure Bugs classics!
