Rabbit's Feat is an animated 1960 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.[1] The short was released on June 4, 1960, and stars Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote.[2] As Maltese had left for Hanna-Barbera, his name was removed from the credits (although his name remained on the credits for The Mouse on 57th Street a year later).

Plot

Wile E. Coyote introduces himself as a hunting genius in pursuit of the Western rabbit, strategically setting up a picnic to lure Bugs Bunny. Upon capturing Bugs, Wile E. prepares to cook him, but Bugs cleverly feigns distress from behind a rock, leading to comedic confrontation. Wile E.'s subsequent attempts to exterminate Bugs are comically foiled, including failed rifle shots and a misguided plan to use dynamite in a carrot. Bugs ingeniously turns the tables on Wile E., causing him to suffer the consequences of his own schemes.

Ultimately, defeated and battered, Wile E. concedes defeat, adopting a new vegetarian lifestyle and seeking medical help.
