Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

JohnHowardReid "Bugs Bunny", "Shorty/Buster Bunny", "Pete Puma". Director: ROBERT McKIMSON. Story: Tedd Pierce. Animation: Charles McKimson, Herman Cohen, Rod Scribner, Phil De Lara. Lay-outs: Robert Givens. Backgrounds: Richard M. Thomas. Voice characterizations: Mel Blanc. "Pete Puma" voiced by Dtan Freberg. Music director: Carl W. Stalling. Color by Technicolor. Producer: Edward Selzer. Copyright 16 December 1952 (in notice: 1951) by The Vitaphone Corp. A Warner Bros. "Merrie Melodies" cartoon. U.S. release 15 November 1952. 7 minutes. COMMENT: Despite some splendid character animation - the freewheeling, gobbledegook-spruiking Buster/Shorty is especially endearing - this is a very mild offering in which Bugs outwits a not overbright puma. Bugs really needs someone more aggressively stupid as a foil. The pace is reasonably fast (though somewhat ambling by Warner Bros cartoon standards), the gags mild, familiar and/or predictable.

TheLittleSongbird Rabbit's Kin is an amusing if unexceptional Bugs Bunny cartoon. The storyline is mediocre mostly, Shorty is cute but he does have an irritating voice as well and the pacing was a little too quick. That said, it is amusing, with some amusing sight gags like Pete Pumas's semi-dance and some razor sharp dialogue. The animation is vibrant and colourful, and the character designs are excellent, and the music is lovely to the ears. Shorty aside, the characters are fine. Bugs is great here, a little underplayed compared to other times I have seen him, but Mel Blanc voices him marvellously. My favourite character though was Pete, he was absolutely hilarious and quite likable, with a scream/howl that you just love to imitate with a brilliant vocal performance from Stan Freberg. Overall, not absolutely superb, but definitely worth the watch. 7/10 Bethany Cox

tavm Robert McKimson's Rabbit's Kin is not a great Bugs Bunny cartoon but it does have a great voice for Bugs' adversary here, Pete Puma, that of Stan Freberg's with that screeching laugh (or maybe it's just some kind of disgust reaction). A little rabbit with a highly-speeded up voice is afraid of this puma and goes to Bugs for help. The rabbit manages to trick Puma to accept various number of lumps hit on his head whenever he asks him, "How much would you like?" when referring to coffee or tea. Those scenes and that aforementioned screeching laugh were the most memorable parts of this short. The little rabbit himself named Shorty is pretty irritating. Glad he was a one-shot. Pete Puma would subsequently appear in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon made in the '90s. Would like to see that one. Anyway, this is on Volume one of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection.

Lee Eisenberg Not every Bugs Bunny cartoon was a full-scale masterpiece, and "Rabbit's Kin" is an example. It has Bugs protecting a small rabbit from a hungry, slow-witted puma, whom he frequently gives lumps...on the head. It seems like the whole cartoon is sort of a one-joke premise, and the little guy tries a little too hard to be cute. My favorite scene is Bugs in puma drag (that scwooey wabbit liked to dress up in drag, didn't he?).So, this cartoon isn't terrible, just a little weaker than what we expect from the Looney Tunes cartoons. OK if there's absolutely nothing else to do (although there are far better cartoons on the Golden Collection, where you can find it).That puma just seemed like he'd been lobotomized or something.
