I've been a fan of the REAL Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons for over 55 years. I know a "Good" one from a "Bad" one. THIS one, "Invasion of The Bunny Snatchers", rates in the "Good" category (if the only categories are "Good" and "Bad") among those made after the demise of the original Warner Animation Department. In fact, this one was made about 18 years after Warner's HAD no Animation Department. Just the fact that Greg Ford & Terry Lennon were able to get enough talented people together to make this cartoon is amazing in itself. But the fact that the characters even LOOK right (something the so-called "Warner Classic Animation Division" of today can't seem to do) is a testament to the people who made this cartoon. And for the bozo who said "The music was terrible" in his review, obviously had NO IDEA what he was listening to. The music in this cartoon was VERY cleverly edited from the raw orchestra tracks of Lord-knows-how-many EXISTING Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons! The only exceptions to this are a few solo piano tracks - one or two taken from existing cartoons, and the other couple of them were ACTUALLY RECORDED FOR THIS ONE! However, NO ORCHESTRA WAS HIRED FOR THIS CARTOON. All the orchestra tracks you hear, you've most likely heard before, with the exception of the closing credits music, "Little Kids Shouldn't Smoke", which was written for a 1930s Porky Pig cartoon, although this beautifully orchestrated version was written many years after the song was written. If you consider that essentially NONE of the original "Looneys" who made well over 90% of the existing cartoons from Leon Schlesinger Productions and then Warner Bros. Animation worked on this cartoon, I'd say this one is BRILLIANT!!!
