Wackiki Wabbit Audience Reviews

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Lee Eisenberg If you thought that you'd seen every stranded-on-an-uncharted-island scenario, think again. When a pair of castaways (voiced by and resembling Tedd Pierce and Michael Maltese) wash up on an island and find Bugs Bunny, they quickly try to turn him into a meal, only to have him play every possible trick on them. As with many of the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, not only do the cast members break character in one scene, but there's a twist at the end. Oh, and Bugs cross-dresses in one scene.One thing that's worth mentioning about the translation. I think that they implied that it was Hawaiian, but it couldn't have been, as some of the words featured F sounds, of which the Hawaiian language has none (to be certain, it only has about twelve sounds). I don't know whether or not any of the other Pacific island languages have F sounds.But let's not dwell on that. "Wackiki Wabbit" is truly a classic. It'll never be Aloha Oe as long as we have the classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons.
ccthemovieman-1 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.
movieman_kev Two castaways (based on Warner Brother's writers Micheal Maltese and Tedd Pierces, who also voice themselves) find themselves on a tropical island inhabited by one Bugs Bunny. Seeing as not too long ago these two guys were eyeing each other like they were both food, they naturally start salivating when they see Bugs and proceed to chase him down in order to make some much needed stew. This is another classic from the early years of Bugs and still remains as fresh and funny as it undoubtedly was when it was first released. This one is totally timeless. This animated short can be found on Disk 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 and includes an optional commentary by John Kricfalusi and Eddie Fitzgerald.My Grade: A+
PeachHamBeach Bugs Bunny lives on a tropical island paradise and meets two castaways voiced by Mike Maltese and Tedd Pierce, who are also renowned writers of Bugs' cartoons. I loved the part where Bugs is speaking some island language to them and then doing some crazy hula dance!!! These cartoons are ageless. They are far funnier today than anything new!!!
