I hate that rabbit!


As a matter of fact, Rabbit himself was one of the reasons I stopped watching the show; I always thought he was too serious and party-pooping and occupationally committed for his own good. But then I overheard that the theme of this movie is accepting people no matter what their differences. Which means one thing...the script writers have made Rabbit a prejudiced chauvinist! They have gone too far! If this keeps up, some artist will change Rabbit's ears into horns, or his whiskers into Hitler's mustache. When will this insanity end?!

*giggles* Rabbit's alright... he's a rabbit! Bunnies are nervous, uptight creatures. Also, he fits the personality archetype that he's supposed to represent, just like the rest of the characters fit theirs. :) Watch Springtime With Roo to get a better understanding of Rabbit and see his softer side.

All right, just as long as it's not the TV show episode, "How Much is that Rabbit in the Window?". In that episode, Rabbit's size was really inconsistent; one minute he's small enough to drive a toy car, the next he's big enough to hug Christopher Robin. I know it's a cartoon, but that's just stupid.

Well I agree, that IS stupid. *nods*

No, Springtime with Roo is a feature-length that was released straight to vhs/dvd. I have a soft spot for Rabbit (though, he's not supposed to be as likeable and cuddly as the other characters) because he reminds me of my mom. Always with his umbrella (must be prepared!) and always "sticking to the plan"... *lol*... Mom rather enjoys the comparison.

I hate Rabbit too. Always raining on all the other happy-go-lucky Hundred Acre Woods' residents' parade. He is always offering them terrible advice! And he is really prejudice of anybody new. I thought that he might have learned in Piglet's Big Movie that we can't judge a book by it's cover 'ie. when Kanga and Roo come to town. Rabbit acts nervous and embarrassed when Tigger brings it up (or was it Pooh who brings it up?) anyway, you feel that he has learned. Lo and Behold, in the Heffalump installment, he is still the same 'drive the newcomer out' bunny.

But then again, in the show, "the Great Honey Pot Robbery" (or something like that) the heffalumps and woozles actually do try to steal the animals' honey. But then the big, stupid woozle, Wooster, comes and saves them after Pooh extends friendship and offers to share the honey. So if you compare the movie with the show, they have some reason to fear the Heffalumps & Woozles, but have to realize that some of them are repectable.

In The Heffalump Movie, all they have to go by is some foot prints in the begginning and they a launch a Heffalump ridding expedition. Thanks to good ol' bad advice, never learns, prejudiced, I'm too greedy and want it my way or the highway (Spring Time with Roo) Rabbit. I think that they should launch an expedition to rid the Hundred Acre Woods of Rabbit! But that's just what I think.

Hmm, I just had a thought. Fartblossom said that rabbits are supposed to be nervous and uptight. Well if that's true, why is Bugs Bunny so laid-back and relaxed?
