Plot

The shorts starts at an amusement park where Bugs says "Hello Democratic Republic of Congo" but finds out he is in the wrong location and wonders where he is. A paper flys into his place and he reads it, Bugs says a rabbit could get used to this place especially when since he tunnel right past the admission booth. He gets tickets, a big teddy bear, popcorn, cotton candy, a dog hat and a flag that says "FUN!" on it and is amused. He decides to go on a ride, finds The Murderizer and visits it. Yosemite Sam find s a boy with a dog hat and says "Rule #1: No Filthy Animals on my Ride!" to the boy. After taking the boy's hat, he notices Bugs walking by. He ask Bugs if he red the sign, going down to the bottom to read "NO RABBITS". Bugs ask who's making the rules and Sam said he is and tells him to leave and kicks him out. Bugs disguises himself as a woman and smittens Sam. As the ride begins, Bugs' wig flys off and is spotted by Sam, realizing he just let a rabbit in his ride.He tries to stop the ride, but breaks the lever. He climbs up the ride and says "Say your prayers, varmint!", much to Bugs' annoyance. Sam jumps to catch him but Bugs keeps changing seats. Sam manages to catch him but the rides starts the drop and Bugs asks "How's this for the final blow?" And blows Sam off. As he walks back in the ride while shooing a crow, he decides to use a chainsaw and a jetpack to kill Bugs, but Bugs uses the seat buckle to defend himself and destroy Sam's jetpack. Sam uses a TNT to kill Bugs, but sees a fake baby with Bugs on the ride, thinking it's a real baby. He tries to save the baby by extinguishing the lit, but it won't get extinguished. So he grabs the TNT, goes to the bathroom, shoves it in the toilet and exits. He tells the folks that he hates animals, but would never try to harm a baby. And to prove it, he asks a mother if he can kiss her baby. He opens the cradle and is about to kiss it, but it turns out it was the toliet the TNT. It explodes into Sam's face and the mother removes her mask to reveal that she is Bugs Bunny in disguise. He says "That's what you get for messing with my baby. Ain't that right, junior?", pulls it string to make it say "Hehe, I want candy!" and he says "Oh, they grow up so fast!".

Reception

Greg Duffell, an animator who worked for Chuck Jones and Ken Harris, says the animation looks strange, the lines looks clean, and the animation "doesn't seem to flow". He also says that the length of the short doesn't have time for a story, he compares it to the reason that people despise the shorter Depatie-Freleng cartoons, and that the backgrounds don't look good design wise in the ending.[3]
