Rhapsody Rabbit is a classic Looney Tunes episode from 1946, directed by Friz Freleng. The episode follows the misadventures of Bugs Bunny as he attempts to play classical music on a grand piano.
The episode begins with Bugs setting up his piano on a grand stage, dressed in a formal outfit complete with top hat and tails. Bugs proceeds to play a tune, but he quickly realizes that he is playing the wrong notes. Frustrated, he throws the piano sheet music into the air and decides to improvise.
As Bugs starts to play a jazzy tune, he attracts the attention of a mouse who lives in the piano. The mouse emerges from the piano and starts to dance along to the music. Bugs starts to play faster and faster, and the mouse eventually passes out from exhaustion.
Undeterred, Bugs continues to play, attempting to master a classical piece. However, he is soon interrupted by a hungry and mischievous little mouse, who is determined to get a piece of cheese from between the piano keys. Bugs and the mouse engage in a whimsical game of cat and mouse, with Bugs attempting to outsmart the mouse at every turn.
As Bugs continues to play, he is eventually joined by a group of other animals, including a frog, a bird, and a woodpecker. The animals add their own unique sounds to the music, creating a cacophony of noise.
Despite the chaos, Bugs manages to keep playing, impressing even the most skeptical of animals. However, just as Bugs is about to finish his performance, the mischievous little mouse returns, throwing the entire performance into chaos once more.
In the end, Bugs manages to outsmart the little mouse, but at the cost of the piano itself. The episode ends with Bugs lying on the ground, buried beneath the wreckage of the grand piano, while the little mouse happily scurries off with his piece of cheese.
