Charles M. Jones, Rabbit Rampage USA 1955
Sometimes a sequel isn't always a good thing. In 1953, Jones did Duck Amuck, considered one of Daffy Duck's best shorts (and a cameo by a certain rabbit, but June Bugs will be focusing on the staring roles). Why not revist it?
Bugs gets up for work on another Warner Bros. short, but when he sees the artist, he tries to quite. The artist isn't having this so for the next six minutes Bugs is forced to undergo a series of humiliations before he pulls down the ending credit. Elmer Fudd, at the drawing board, is happy he got some payback.
Not awful, but Daffy is cruel enough to warrant some torment, by now Bugs getting this kind of treatment just comes across as mean but the whole meta thing feels played out as it's same joke as before.
Disapointing from Jones and Selzer.
