It was obviously inspired by this short, both in title and plot. On a related note, there was a video game for the Super Nintendo called Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage that was released in the 1990s. The animation, music, and voice work are all top notch. At one point Bugs even mimics Yosemite Sam by using the word "idjit." Still, there are some amusing bits here and there. We like to see him get the upper hand and outsmart his foes. No one watches a Bugs short to see him frustrated and one-upped at every turn. But this one does suffer by comparison, as well as the fact that, as other reviewers have mentioned, the plot is more suited to Daffy than Bugs. After all, ideas were (and still are) recycled all the time in cartoons. It's not a bad cartoon and I don't really fault Chuck Jones or writer Michael Maltese for ripping off their own idea. Here Bugs Bunny fights with his unseen (until the end) animator, who has a grudge against him. Trying to replicate his success with Duck Amuck, Chuck Jones returns to the "breaking the fourth wall" routine with this short.
