rdfs:comment
  • Rabbit of Seville is a 1950 Looney Tunes short subject, voted no. 12 on The 50 Greatest Cartoons list, and a member of The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes. The plot features Bugs Bunny being chased by Elmer Fudd into the stage door of the Hollywood Bowl, whereupon Bugs tricks Elmer into going onstage, and participating in a break-neck operatic production of their chase punctuated with gags, all to the tune of Rossini's overture to The Barber of Seville. Not to be confused with Woody Woodpecker's equally famous take on the song.
  • Rabbit of Seville is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short, released on December 16, 1950. It was directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. The short was re-released on January 18, 1969 as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies short (the short was left unchanged except for the addition of a W7 logo to replace the original WB logo; the W7 Looney Tunes opening and closing may have also been used in place of the originals). The production code for its 1950 release is 1138; the production code for its 1969 re-release is 7301.

The cartoon, in a plotline reminiscent of Stage Door Cartoon, features Bugs Bunny being chased by Elmer Fudd into the stage door of the Hollywood Bowl, whereupon Bugs tricks Elmer into going onstage, and participating in a break-neck operatic production of their chase punctuated with gags and accompanied by musical arrangements by Carl Stalling, focusing on Rossini's overture to The Barber of Seville.
  • "Rabbit of Seville" was produced by Eddie Selzer and directed by Chuck Jones in 1949. The cartoon starts off in the Hollywood Bowl with an orchestra warming up. This image of high culture is interrupted by gunshots from the hills. Soon the viewer sees Bugs Bunny run across the screen and into the backstage area of the Hollywood bowl. Elmer, close on Bugs' heels, bursts into the backstage area. He looks for Bugs, but he is unable to find him. When he checks the stage, Bugs pulls the curtains up. Elmer, not expecting to see a live audience staring back at him, is shell-shocked. Bugs, on the other hand, is a performer. He immediately appears on stage in barber get-up and sings. The rest of the cartoon entails Bugs tricking Elmer into getting brutal haircuts.

Stalling's arrangement is remarkable in that the overture's basic structure is kept relatively intact; some repeated passages are removed and the overall piece is conducted at a faster tempo to accommodate the cartoon's standard running length. In 1994 it was voted #12 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field.

Elmer, not expecting to see a live audience staring back at him, is shell-shocked. Bugs, on the other hand, is a performer. He immediately appears on stage in barber get-up and sings. The rest of the cartoon entails Bugs tricking Elmer into getting brutal haircuts. The cartoon uses parts of Rossini's overture for The Barber of Seville and music from "Wedding March" by Mendelssohn. Chuck Jones incorporates this music perfectly. One of the most famous scenes from the cartoon is when Bugs Bunny squishes and scrunches Elmer's scalp in perfect rhythm with the music. As he does so, Bugs looks at the viewer with a dazed, maniacal look. This short scene uses music to comment upon theatrical performances and to maximize the humor of the situation. Whereas Avery goes from gag to gag in rapid succession, “Rabbit of Seville” demonstrates perfectly how Jones utilizes slight movements and timing to create humor.
