After a slump in terms of quality between "Tiny Toon Music Television" and this, "Brave Tales of Real Rabbits" is a return to form. The best episode since "Tiny Toon Music Television" ("Return to the Acme Acres Zone" was brilliant too though) by quite some way. The premise is great and the execution is every bit as much. Although "And All That Rot" is a good deal better than "Day for Knight", that the latter still managed to be excellent says a lot about how exceptionally high quality the former was and it would have been difficult to follow on from a segment as good as that.
"Brave Tales of Real Rabbits" works in every single area. The animation is vibrantly coloured and beautifully rich in detail, not just the backgrounds but also the expressions and reactions of the characters which are wonderfully loony. The music is dynamic and characterful as always and the theme song has always brought a smile to my face. Something that was the case when a child and still is now.
Characterisation is spot on (everybody shining in some form, especially with Buster, as is the voice acting from some of the best and most prolific voice actors in the business at the time and ever. The writing is smart and full of wit and endearing looney-ness and can't fault the storytelling in both segments.
Especially in "And All That Rot", which is full of suspense and intrigue as well as a huge sense of wacky fun. It is not a simple story thanks to a couple of clever later twists, which was great actually, while avoiding convolution as well. "Day for a Knight" renders its medieval setting very colourfully and has the same amount of wit and energy something like 'Knighty Knight Bugs' had. Buster is very charismatic and fun in the lead role and the dragon, reminiscent oddly of Woody Allen, is a good antagonist. Babs proves herself to be more than a damsel.
Overall, wonderful. 10/10
