I found this an enjoyable Bugs Bunny cartoon with story written by Tedd Pierce. Normally I don't really like parody; in fact I hate it! Also I'm not too crazy about Superman either because I'm rooting for Batman. But I do love it when Bugs becomes "SUPER RABBIT!" defending the rabbits of "Deepinharta," Texas from Cottontail Smith the rabbit hater. I mean, dude! What have you got against rabbits huh?
One more thing to point out is that I really against animal testing - in real life that is. Like Bugs was a test subject in the laboratory of a scientist who has invented a "super carrot," which when eaten by Bugs gives him Superman-like powers. Overall I give this short an 6/10 stars for a mediocre story-line.

This was an extremely funny Looney Tunes. Bugs Bunny gains super powers by eating special carrots, dons a suit similar to Superman and goes after Cottontail Smith. There were a lot of funny and original gags in this cartoon. Probably one of the best Bugs Bunny cartoons ever. If you enjoyed this cartoon, I suggest you see Daffy Duck don the super suit in 'Stupor Duck.'
Professor Canafrazz cooks up a carrot to turn Bugs Bunny into Super-Rabbit. He just needs to keep eating those special carrots to maintain his superpowers. He reads that rabbit-hating Cottontail Smith has been wiping out rabbits in Texas. Now he has a mission.
This is a reference to Superman. I wish that they go full out with doing a Superman rabbit. Why not have an advanced alien planet of rabbits? That would be loads of fun. Nevertheless, this is Bugs Bunny and it's good as most Bugs episodes are. I would still make Bugs an alien. He could be battling a wolf from a wolf planet. That would be better.

Still in his relative infancy, Bugs Bunny becomes a superhero out to fight an anti-rabbit cowboy. I really liked the scene of the two of them on the horse. Maybe the wartime themes make us cringe a little bit nowadays, but they're not vicious by any stretch (although I hear that some Looney Tunes cartoons were). Maybe this wasn't the greatest Bugs Bunny cartoon in history, but it's definitely worth seeing. Anyone can plainly see why the Looney Tunes cartoons from the '40s and '50s were some of the best cartoons in cinema history (I can't say the same for their modern cartoons; for starters, no more Mel Blanc). A real classic.
This was a fun parody on the superhero genre, and Bugs couldn't have been a more perfect choice as the one and only "Super-Rabbit". The story is a nice one, not the best structured one there is, but it is never dull and moves quickly. The animation is beautifully done, and the music is top-notch. The supporting characters are careful not to overshadow Bugs while being effective on their own terms too. I loved the visual gags and the witty and razor sharp dialogue. And I too loved Mel Blanc's vocal characterisations, with Kent Rogers also great as Professor Canafrazz. Overall, a fun Bugs Bunny cartoon. 9/10 Bethany Cox
Did you know
- TriviaThe U.S. Marine Corps was so flattered that Bugs Bunny decides to become a Marine in this film that it insisted he be officially inducted into the Corps as a private, which was done, complete with dogtags. Bugs was regularly promoted until he was officially "discharged" at the end of World War II as a Master Sergeant.
- GoofsWhen setting out on his mission, Bugs puts five super-carrots into his case, yet by the end of the cartoon the case seems to hold several dozen carrots.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: Eh, what are you shootin' at, doc?
Cottontail Smith: Rabbits. I hate rabbits. If there's anything I hate more than a rabbit, it's two rabbits.
