Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Bugs welcomes the castaways, he says, "Welcome to Humuhumunukunukuapua'a Island." "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a" is the Hawaiian name for the reef triggerfish, the state fish of Hawaii.
- GoofsAs Bugs bathes/simmers in the cook pot, the two castaways dance around gleefully proclaiming, "We're gonna have roast rabbit." Roasting is dry cooking done in a oven, not a pot of water.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: Ah, white men! Welcome to Humuhumunukunukuapua'a-a-a-a-a Island.

Featured review
We see something unusual right off the bat in this cartoon: a quick picture of something that isn't animated. In this case, it's a giant hamburger. That's what one of two starving guys on a raft out in the ocean sees, instead of his partner. The other guy soon is hallucinating, too, seeing food where human body parts are! Thankfully, they are spared from these gruesome things as they spot an island and race there in their suddenly-speedy raft.
Bugs Bunny, probably the only living thing on the small island, spots this ravenous duo and quickly sets his brain in motion. How he does NOT become dinner is the focus of this story. Along the way are some funny bits with graphics regarding language translations. It's also interesting that the two LT writers are the guys characterized in the cartoon! Good for them! It's always good to be able to laugh at yourself, so kudos to Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce.
I agree with the reviewers here: this is a classic cartoon, full of inventive sights that are guaranteed to make you laugh. No sense describing all of them. Suffice to say all three main characters are good in here. The ending's a little sappy, but it's hard to get everything perfect.
