The Adventures of the American Rabbit (1986)

The Worst Film Ever

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

THE ADVENTURES OF THE American RABBIT is so incredibly un-noteworthy I'm vaguely obsessed with it. The idea that something this insubstantial could get a theatrical release is a bit amazing--but then again, I've seen THE OOGIELOVES. In a theater.What can you really say about a film like this? The plot is so thin that the same things happen two or three times just to fill up the space--and a lot of what goes down is completely irrelevant. This could have been a one-hour TV special, no problem. There's nothing really approaching substance here. Is there anything to recommend it? Curiosity, I guess. It's well- intentioned (more or less). The villain is kind of cool-looking. It's weird and illogical enough as a whole to be worth laughing at. It's a film called THE ADVENTURES OF THE American RABBIT and it actually got shown in theaters. You can watch it on Netflix, on YouTube, or do your best to imagine it based on the bare plot summary. If you were stuck watching this, it would be preferable to chewing off your own leg. It would even be preferable to being knocked unconscious. But...yeah.

This movie is so bad, I registered at this site to review it. "The Adventures of the American Rabbit" is a film so devoid of any sort of human qualities, it is impossible to conclude that it was made by our species. The film contains no intelligence whatsoever. There is not a shred of anything that resembles an actual movie in this film. It's unspeakably awful. The film starts with Rob the rabbit being raised in some weird European place, even though he's the American rabbit. These first few scenes play like something like I wrote when I was ten, having very little exposition, awkward and jarring pacing, and making almost no sense. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, Rob turns into the American Rabbit during a picnic. An old rabbit shows up and tells him that he is part of a "legacy" and then Rob walks away and does something to go to San Francisco, where he meets these Jackals who shout nonsense and ride motorcycles. This first act of the film made me want to turn it off immediately. But I kept watching. And it just got stupider and stupider. Like when the villain kidnaps a chocolate making moose and claims that he now controls all chocolate. Or how Rob the Rabbit stops the water at Niagara Falls with lightening, shutting off the power grid for the entire country. The whole thing was just awful. While the plot was nonsensical, the dialogue was something else. It made no sense what so ever. Not one shred of sense. And yes, the film was made in Japan, but it was written by Americans, which nulls that excuse. In addition to the nonsense that the characters said, there was the fact that the voice actors were just bad. They spoke in monotonous dull voices that sapped away any sense of emotion. The only possible scenario I can imagine where one would pull enjoyment from this film is from a purely nostalgic perspective. Other than that, there is not one shred of entertainment to be found.

I remember seeing this as a kid in 1986 (at that time I didn't know what the cold war was.) But I liked it. what I remember most was the music, (especially when Rob the Bunny would transform into a bunny with roller skates and look like the American flag.) regardless of the message, it was a cute movie 3 stars

Imagine turning the American national anthem into a cartoon. Throw in a couple of cute animals, some terrible puns and a pair of roller skates and you'd find yourself with almost an exact replica of this film.I remember seeing this when I was younger; I made my Mother rent it from the video shop about 5 times. The story itself isn't too bad, it's just that any Marxists watching would certainly have something to complain about.If you don't like America you won't like this film.
