...this real-life Crusader Rabbit was just getting warmed up. General Motors -- that ossified symbol of America's industrial decline -- volunteered for the Perot treatment when the giant automaker bought EDS in 1984 and GM chairman Roger Smith looked to this take-no-prisoners Texan to shake up the hidebound hierarchy. Within two years, Perot was going public with his bitter and prophetic denunciations of the GM bureaucracy ("I could never understand why it takes six years to build a car when it only took us four years to win World War II"), and the company ultimately paid...
Although most of the film sticks to animation, Bluth attempts to incorporate a few scenes a la who Framed Roger Rabbit? where he integrates the cartoon characters with real-life images.

...best thing to happen to pure carbon since the diamond: 60-atom molecules that are neither pyramid shape (like diamonds) nor hexagonal (like graphite) but spherical, like soccer balls. Captured for the first time in 1991 in computer-generated "snapshots" (seen here with cesium-based handles -- the rabbit ears on top), these namesakes of Buckminster Fuller might someday be fashioned into tiny ball bearings, featherweight batteries or even superconducting wires that are just one molecule thick...
...huge percolator walking a tiny man-shaped marionette. A pixilated sleight-of- hand artist puts a bunny in a box (ho-hum), pulls out an air pump (hmmm), attaches same to box and pumps mightily (what?), and finally produces not the expected exploding hare but a live jumbo rabbit who appears to be only slightly smaller than a Shetland. All right, all right -- it's still only a big bunny, but it seems so large because the Chaplin-Thierree inspiration expands audience perception even while teasing...
