comment
"Rabbit of Seville" is a 1950 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.The plot features Bugs Bunny being chased by Elmer Fudd into the stage door of the Hollywood Bowl, where the audience is waiting to see Gioachino Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville. 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 opera.Compare with Woody Woodpecker's equally famous take on a different excerpt from the same opera. Contrast with What's Opera, Doc?, which does parody a famous opera, but the former (this one) is more comedic, while the latter is more dramatic.

comment
Wholesome Crossdresser: Bugs distracts Elmer while dressed as an elegant Spanish señorita. Elmer does not notice until he is bamboozled, as usual. Elmer, during the ending, dresses as the bride after Bugs gives him a number of gifts, including an engagement ring. Bugs then proceeds to drop him into the cake that (presumably) would have been used later in the actual opera, had the two not stolen the show.

comment
Never Trust a Hair Tonic: Bugs rubs and sprinkles a number of tonics on Elmer's scalp, only for flowers to sprout from his head instead of hair (the last one was actually plant food).

Escalating War: During the climax, Bugs and Elmer start chasing each other back and forth across the stage with ever larger weapons, starting with a hatchet, and ending with a cannon that wouldn't look out of place on a modern battleship.

Bowdlerization
 Rabbit of Seville / int_a49914aa
comment
Bowdlerization: The ABC airing mutes out some of the sound effects of Elmer shooting in the beginning. The shot of Bugs slashing Elmer's face with a razor was also cut by replacing it with a cropped shot of Bugs holding a mirror (which appeared after Elmer got slashed) and grimacing in disgust while the sound of the slashing played as normal. Also cut was the segment where Bugs ties Elmer's gun into a knot. It skips from the shot of Bugs doing a provocative thrust backward towards the camera to the shot of Elmer being flung back into the barber chair, attempting to suggest some continuity between the two.

Mickey Mousing: Inverted; the short is underscored by a preexisting song (the overture to The Barber of Seville, composed by Gioachino Rossini) and the action is animated in time with it.

Mirror Reveal: After rubbing hair restorer and Figaro fertilizer on Elmer's scalp, Bugs shows him the results on a mirror. Elmer is at first elated that strands of hair are growing, but then he sees them sprout flowers, so he grabs his rifle and the chase is on again.
