Rabbit Hood Rabbit Hood Rabbit Hood is a 1949 Bugs Bunny cartoon which parodies the "Robin Hood" story. Originally released on December 24, 1949, the short was directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. As usual, Mel Blanc picked up all the voice characterizations. The layouts were done by Robert Gribbroek and the backgrounds by Peter Alvarado. This cartoon is the origin of the infamous "knighting" exchange, where Bugs Bunny is dressed up like a king, and proceeds to pound the Sheriff's head with his sceptre while dispensing an oddball title with each strike: There is a wall covered with
All This and Rabbit Stew for portraying negative stereotypes, so too did this cartoon, eventually prompting its effective suppression. The hunter is dressed in a hat, a short-sleeved shirt, overalls and oversized shoes. A character with the same attire and demeanor would later be used in "Angel Puss" (1944). He is the Sambo of the film. The hunter's and Bugs' reaction from the bear's unexpected appearance from the rabbit hole (horn sound included) was somewhat reused in "Wabbit Twouble" (1941). The giant hollow log gag was reused in "The Big Snooze" (1946), "Foxy By Proxy" (1952), and "Person To Bunny" (1960). All This and Rabbit
