Wackiki Wabbit contains experimental abstract backgrounds and its title is a play on words, suggesting both the island setting of Waikiki and Bugs’ wackiness. Elmer Fudd’s speech pronunciation of “rabbit” is also in the title, although Elmer does not appear in this picture.
This cartoon has fallen to the public domain after United Artists failed to renew the copyright on time.

The castaways are played by Tedd Pierce and Mike Maltese, two of Jones’ writing team
