Review of Rabbit Hood

Rabbit Hood (1949)
6/10
"Never fear, Robin Hood will soon be here!"...
13 February 2008
It's almost as if Warner Bros. was preparing audiences for the re-release of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD by having this proclamation made several times by Little John in this Bugs Bunny cartoon, RABBIT HOOD. And perhaps it was planned that way, because the feature was released to theaters around this time.

Anyway, it's another Bugs Bunny romp with the Sheriff of Nottingham catching him poaching carrots from the King's Garden. From then on, it's the usual shenanigans with Bugs putting one over on the Sheriff, even donning disguises in an effort to convince the man that he's the king. All of it, of course, is extremely silly but leads toward a good finish with footage of Flynn actually appearing when Robin Hood finally does show up.

As amusing as it is, it's not one of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons--there were so many others that were much funnier than this. Mel Blanc does a terrific job on the voices.
