Kenneth Anger’s *Rabbit's Moon* is a postmodern collage that appropriates Fleischer Studios’ animation. While the director aims to subvert mainstream norms, the use of historical footage restricts the creation of progressive character arcs. The film’s fragmented, non-linear structure disrupts traditional storytelling. Ultimately, it offers a dreamlike experience that questions the sanctity of original media.

The film doesn't explicitly show LGBTQ+ identities or relationships. However, its surreal editing and dreamlike pacing break traditional viewing habits. It uses a unique visual style to defy typical storytelling methods.
The work follows gender roles common in early 20th-century cartoons. It includes stereotypes like flirtatious females and hyper-masculine males. The montage format doesn’t challenge these roles.

The film uses a mix of old and new media to question the idea of original works. It creates a dreamlike experience that challenges the wholesome nature of traditional American animation.
There are no clear representations of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. Characters aren’t used as plot devices for ridicule.
