Headscratchers / The Adventures of the American Rabbit

• Another one involving the imprisoned moose. The Big Bad captures him and demands he make chocolate, lots of chocolate. He then sticks him in a cell and seemingly expects him to get on with it, with no ingredients or equipment. How the hell was he supposed to do it? Of course, the character was called The Chocolate Moose. Was the implication that he is somehow made of chocolate, or can produce it magically?
  • Yes.
  • The reason he and his son were imprisoned was because he'd refused to do as Walt said, as he and his son explain when set free. Walt was jailing them until he agreed.
• The fact that the only way for Rob to return to his original form would be to just say his own name out loud. Which actually would have been really funny if the writers were smart enough to have actually written it.
• Vultor's plot to burn down the boat in New Orleans was a perfect opportunity for You Have Outlived Your Usefulness. If Vultor is as evil as he says he is, he could've just left the jackals to burn on the ship along with everyone else, not needing that boat that pulled in next to it—he would've just shed the gangster clothes and flew away. Granted, the American Rabbit would've saved everyone anyway (probably including the jackals too)—but if he did that, the story's moral of not basing people on stereotypes would've actually meant something instead of tacked on.
