- Crazy creditsThe end title featured the rare occasion where the Looney Tunes drum would appear, but instead of Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny would appear inside the drum (which happens immediately rather than with a delay). Bugs is munching his carrot, says to the audience, "And that's the end!", then goes back to munching the carrot. This closing bumper was used only in this cartoon and "Baseball Bugs" (1946), another cartoon starring Bugs Bunny.

Traditional
Sung with revised lyrics by Elmer, and then by Bugs
Also sung by Bugs while cutting carrots
The plot is new and original, and a little bit deeper than the rest of the cartoons. This is not just any chase. Elmer thinks he has "rabbititus" and is scared to death of his prey and quarantined inside his own house.
The animation is good, though Bugs is basic, but the use of color and spots is excellent.
You can get a lot of laughs just by watching with the sound off. Bugs's "fits" are hilarious, and the classic mirror gag and dance are all there.
The script is great, what with the rabbititus report and the gags about Elmer's water bill. It's very memorable.
Bugs's tricks in this cartoon are great and original, which makes this cartoon stand out from the rest.
So, all in all, this is an excellent, funny cartoon, an original story with original gags and the old classics. Great entertainment.
