Rabbit's Kin is a
Merrie Melodies animated short released on November 15, 1952. It was directed by
Robert McKimson and written by
Tedd Pierce. The animators who worked on this cartoon included Charles McKimson, Herman Cohen, Rod Scribner and Phil DeLara. The music was scored by
Carl Stalling while the backgrounds and layouts were done by Robert Givens and Richard H. Thomas, respectively.
Mel Blanc performs the voice of Bugs Bunny and Shorty Rabbit, while
Stan Freberg voiced Bugs' new enemy
Pete Puma, doing an imitation of the character
Frank Fontaine introduced on The Jack Benny Show named John L. C. Silvoney, and later performed on The Jackie Gleason Show as Crazy Guggenheim. The title is a play on "rabbit skin", but is also a literal term in that Bugs is caring for a "kin", here, another rabbit.
