Not his best but still reasonable
15 December 2003
A mother buzzard sends her children out to catch food, however the dopey one refuses to go. She sends him off to catch her a rabbit nonetheless - just his bad luck that the first rabbit he comes upon is a slippery Bugs Bunny.

Bugs Bunny is a strong enough character and has a strong enough basic repertoire to overcome a potentially weak cartoon. Here this is a potentially weak cartoon. The animation is not great and even Bugs himself looks like he was drawn in a bit of a rush, the bird character is not great either and doesn't look like he'll be a good partner for Bugs.

However the bird is actually quite amusing although I don't totally get why he is played all dumb and `oh schucks' about everything. Bugs still works well and the bird has his moments. There are a handful of chuckles or amusing moments and the short keeps it moving along well enough.

The ending ain't great and the whole product doesn't ever really get to a point where I could use any words other than passable or reasonable, but it still works OK thanks in main to another good bit of work from Bugs.
