Watch Wackiki Wabbit For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Just perfect...

best movie i've ever seen.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

. . . Looney Tunes' "Humuhumunukukuapuaa Island" may well have filled the bill. Bugs Bunny opens WACKIKI WABBIT as the sole inhabitant of this barren ocean outcropping. The lack of any food source is no problem for Bugs, since hares grow carrots from thin air through the wonder of Aeroponics (a process which combines Hydroponics with Photosynthesis), which is where we get the term "dust bunnies." However, when the shipwreck survivors invade Humuhumunukukuapuaa, they're hungrier than the Donner Clan on a Meatless Friday. Not satisfied with the prospect of dining upon rump roast A La CANDIDE, the Cannibalistically-inclined castaway pair start a song and dance in anticipation of pigging out on charred hare. The arrival of a cruise ship just then is a dead giveaway that Humuhumunukukuapuaa is one of the Galapagos Islands. As Bugs swiftly sails off to safety, the Darwin Twins are left on Humuhumunukukuapuaa to test Sir Charles' Theory about The Survival of the Fittest. (My money here would be on the tall, thin gentleman of Color, as he would not only be more agile than the Fat White Slob, but presumably more desperate for grub, given his companion's obviously vast lard reserves.)

While not my favourite Bugs Bunny or Chuck Jones cartoon, Wackiki Rabbit is still a great cartoon with lots of colour, great humour and a wonderfully odd atmosphere. One does wish that Bugs had more to do here, despite being the star he does agreed play more of a secondary character to the castaways, albeit a very memorable and funny one at that.The cartoon does on the other hand some really colourful visuals with beautifully bold colours, impeccably detailed backgrounds, some inventive 'surreal' physical comedy and well-drawn characters (Bugs' design is in early stages but while different he's drawn well and moves easily). The music by Carl Stalling is typically outstanding, giving the cartoon so much energy while also being richly and cleverly orchestrated throughout, it's also a perfect match with the visuals, humour and action and even elevates them to a greater level. The writing is fresh, razor sharp and brilliantly funny, some of it is bizarre but in a hugely entertaining way, while the gags are oddly surreal but inventive and quite hilarious, especially when the castaways are first introduced to Bugs, with the cooked chicken and the ending.Story-wise, it's crisply paced, has a constantly colourful atmosphere and it's not too routine or predictable because the humour is so well done. Bugs is as always great fun though as said he should have had more to do, while the castaways (caricatures of Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce, who also voice the characters) are a hilarious and an oddly-but- well-matched double act. Mel Blanc, Maltese and Pierce all give fine vocal characterisations.Overall, colourful, hilarious and wonderfully odd. Definitely worth seeing at least once. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Two guys - one tall and lean, the other short and fat - become shipwrecked on a desert island. Who should be an inhabitant of this island but Bugs Bunny, the "Wackiki Wabbit"! And the two castaways believe they can easily capture Bugs for their supper. Sure they can. Yeah.Here are my favorite scenes from this wonderful cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. When the two guys first meet Bugs, he does a hilarious dance and says "What's up, Doc?" in his native tongue. The tall guy then expresses his gratitude to Bugs, with the appropriate foreign subtitle appearing below, and the two guys actually READ the subtitle! Then more dancing ensues, ending with a slap on the face. I also love composer/orchestrator Carl Stalling's accompaniment of "Trade Winds" (when the short guy blows on the sail toward the island, and when Bugs bathes in the cooking pot) and his use of a frolicsome Raymond Scott tune (when the two castaways set up a table & cooking pot and chase Bugs swinging on a vine, and when Bugs later struggles with his "roast rabbit" marionette).If you're a Bugs Bunny fan, then you can't miss "Wackiki Wabbit"! Catch it on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 Disc 1.

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!!!
