Wile E Coyote vs Bugs In Operation: Rabbit

 


Bugs Bunny and Wile E Coyote as a duo feels overlooked. I think it's better than most of the Coyote catching the Roadrunner cartoons. I love all of these except for Hare-Breadth Hurry (1963). That cartoon is kinda uninteresting and that's when Chuck Jones's short films became less exciting.



This is by far the best of their cartoons. It's one of my favorite classic cartoons ever.

 


Wile E Coyote builds a door next to Bugs Bunny's hole and it's off to an amazing start. Look at Bugs Bunny's face. So funny.



Wile E Coyote shows his name card. "Genius". Coyote is extremely well known for catching the roadrunner and being exploded by dynamite and other ACME products but why do people not even care a bit about his talking and his name card? It's meme-worthy in my taste.


Chuck Jones's Bugs Bunny is also the best. I might like Bob Clampett's portrayal a little more but I can't go wrong with how cute Bugs is at times.



I also love when cartoon characters do their own thing for the audience to watch for about 10 seconds. Just like with Sam And Ralph's cartoons I love how laid-back it feels.



What's rare for me talking about a cartoon I love is the walk cycle. Bugs Bunny pulls off the sickest walk cycle I seen in a cartoon. 



This is a great frame. I need this as an actual picture frame. The colors are perfect.


This one too.



The cartoon starts to get even more funnier when Coyote fails his works and makes these shocking expressions.



This is by far my favorite scenes in the short. Wile E Coyote's best plans is saying he's such a genius when he clearly is making carrots, doesn't have enough time and gets hit by the train.

I never get sick of that moment. 



By the looks of him, it pretty much felt extremely painful. 😬😅



The ending showcases the Coyote hilariously building the door as he did in the start and my goodness look at Bugs's expression.





Coyote says "My name is MUD" and Bugs explains Mud backwards is "Dum" Obviously means the word "dumb". Wile E Coyote may be a genius but I would certainly say Bugs is far more of a genius than Coyote is. 



What a true gem and one of Chuck Jones's best cartoons he made. I would put it on my Top 10 Best Looney Tunes Shorts.




Now as a sidenote, I said that Wile E Coyote works alot better with Bugs than with Roadrunner. But I don't think all of the Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons are bad. They are really solid but in my taste I prefer something less redundant and more structured. I also like cartoons with some sort of dialogue in there to make more sense and more coherent. 

I would say my favorite Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons are Fast and Furry Ous (1949), Stop! Look! And Hasten (1954), and probably a underrated one, The Solid Tin Coyote (1966).
