As you've read in many of these reviews, "The Rabbit of Seville" is perfection -- maybe even better than "What's Opera, Doc?" In addition to all of the obvious things to love about this short -- the gags, the pace & timing, the music, the body language & facial expressions, etc. -- there are many subtle touches to enjoy, things you might miss if you blink ...
How the camera pans to the stage door, as if Bugs is about to emerge, only to swivel quickly to the left in reaction to the sound of gunshots.
How those gunshots in the distant hills are drawn.
The sound of Elmer's heavy footsteps echoing through the stage.
How Bugs flips the curtain switch using a carrot.
How, when Elmer shoots through the power cord of the razor, it falls to the ground and flops around like fish out of water.
Bugs' expression when Elmer re-enters through the revolving door.
I also find it amusing that the orchestra has no problem going along with Bugs' and Elmer's on-stage antics. And the opera's actual cast and crew are no where to be found (other than the justice of the peace).
