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.
