Rebel Rabbit

Robert McKimson, Rebel Rabbit, USA 1949


AKA the gif you've seen a thousand times


Yeah, this one had a resurgence, didn't it? Bugs is checking out the bounties on various animals, but when he learns rabbits are only worth two cents, well, that is an insult that won't stand. 

Bugs unleashes hell upon the people, including the famed sequence of him sawing Florida away from the mainland. So he can't be all bad, can he?

A pretty basic story but the joy is watching Bugs start out with vandalism before moving onto wide scale devastation. Odd they move back to Bugs being a vengeful trickster character but a nice change of pace.
