A true Classic ~ one I will always love.......2007-04-07

I first saw this film here in the UK in the mid 1980's, when I noticed it at the local rental shop. My dad made a copy for me, and I watched it for years. But one day, the tape gave out, and had to be thrown away.

But {finally!}, a copy is on it's way to me now, so I can re-live those happy memories, and be able to share them when I have kids.

The American Rabbit {as was the title over here}, is a wonderful tale for kids and adults alike. It shows that good will triumph over evil, that anyone can be a hero, and that the world isn't always the terrible place we all seem to think it is.

Rob shows that the most unlikely of heroes can save the day.

Buy this film, enjoy it, share it, and remember the days when childrens films had some morals and substance to them.

Great kids movie but for growups too!.......2007-01-09

My son loved this movie as a small child. I really liked it too. I purchased this copy for my friends 5 year old who loved it as well. Great family movie for all ages.

I NEVER SAW THIS BEFORE.......2005-09-10

I have to say this was a good show. I had never before heard of nor had I seen the American Rabbit till seeing the picture of the cover on Amazon.com. There are some real lessons in here that sadly seem lacking and in strong need of being told in todays cartoons/shows/stories. As for the feel of the show I thought it was a bit cheesy only at the very begining becasue you could tell it was Superman like and the super villian boss was dumb looking in his suit...

But the story teaches one who listens some real good American morals and lessons. Near the end the American Rabbit is chasing the bad guy villan who is near defeat, but the bad guy decides to cause a dam to break and kill the two people below. There is an old guy and his son who are trapped just below the dam right in the path of a dam that is about to break. The American Rabbit has to decide. Stop the dam and save these two trapped people, saving them but letting the bad guy get away which would result in many more victims, or continue on and stop the villian, which would also result in the deaths of the two below. Well, the American Rabbit sees trouble and rushes to save the two trapped in the path of the river, but the old man tells the young American Rabbit to do what you have to do, we understand, go after the bad guy, we'll be okay. That's a hero. That's a lesson we need to not forget, and learn.

When the bad guys were bad, and the good guys unflawed........2004-11-02

This movie aired the year after I was born. My parents recorded it on beta (remember that standard?), and it became my favorite movie two years later. Unlike many animes, the viewer will probably have little trouble establishing an emotional connection with the characters-- the reactions of the characters are not culture-specific, but rather universal.

While the storyline seems to have been written with the superhero-loving kid in mind, there are overtones only catchable by adults or near-adults. This causes it to still be a feel-good movie, but also a study in the attitudes of the time when it was released.

As the story of the rabbit Rob, who has come into a legacy which causes him to race into action against ill-willing villains as a striped and spangled super hero, this animated guy-joins-band-gets-gal classic harkens back to the movie era when bad guys were still bad, and heros had hearts of gold.

Best Cartoon Ever!.......2004-07-23

I also watched this religiously when I was growing up. I had it permanently rented out from the video store. It was just last year that I hunted it down again. Since then I've watched it several times. There's something so clever about the whole thing. And there's all these obscure references to Nazism and Capitalism and I even think some of the characters probably represent historical figures. My 8 year old niece also really loved it.
