Rhapsody Rabbit is a 1946 American animated comedy short film in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Friz Freleng and featuring Bugs Bunny.

[4] Set against a backdrop of Richard Wagner's Siegfried funeral march, Bugs Bunny takes center stage as a piano virtuoso.

Throughout the performance, Bugs engages in playful banter, responding to a ringing phone inside the piano with his trademark catchphrase, "Eh, what's up, doc?"

In a comedic climax, Bugs confronts the final frenzied pages of the Rhapsody, culminating in exasperation as the mouse steals the spotlight with its unexpected performance.

One year after the release of Rhapsody Rabbit, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio (MGM) produced a comparable animated short titled The Cat Concerto, featuring Tom and Jerry series.

While Rhapsody Rabbit holds an earlier Motion Picture Association approval number and release date, MGM's production timelines extended over a longer duration.

The controversy surrounding these productions received further examination in an episode of the Cartoon Network anthology series ToonHeads, providing a platform for discussion and analysis of the issue.
