Coyote as the predator, \u201cRabbit\u2019s Feat\u201d has a lazy and sloppy feel, as if its creators needed to fill a quota and quickly cobbled together a rehash of recycled situations and mannerisms to meet their output needs. Screenwriter Michael Maltese had already departed Warner Bros. for Hanna-Barbera before this short was completed and he did not receive on-screen credit \u2013 which is just as well, considering the weak quality of the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRabbit\u2019s Feat\u201d is peculiar for a 1960s-era cartoon in presenting Bugs Bunny in a personality closer to the early 1940s concept when the character first appeared on screen. Bugs\u2019 behavior is zany and silly (and, perhaps, puerile), far removed from what Friz Freleng and Robert McKimson were doing at this time. While Bugs has a couple of amusing non-sequitur remarks (including his holding the dazed coyote up by the armpits and declaring \u201cDaddy, you\u2019re back from Peru!\u201d), the character\u2019s antics are too cutesy and too stupid for comfort. <\/p>\n<p>Also, the short is burdened by Chuck Jones\u2019 annoying habit of constantly having the characters break the fourth wall and sneak glances and make silly comments to the viewer for cheap laughs. Watching this cartoon, it is difficult to acknowledge this dismal mess was made by the same team that used the same characters to create the brilliant \u201cOperation: Rabbit\u201d a mere eight years earlier.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player.html?video=x66q9sc\"style=\"width:100%; height:100%; position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; overflow:hidden; border:none;\"allowfullscreentitle=\"Dailymotion Video Player\"allow=\"web-share\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rabbit\u2019s Feat (1960) Directed by Chuck Jones Story by Michael Maltese (uncredited) Animation by Ken Harris, Richard Thompson Music by Milt Franklyn Wile E.
