**Ride Em' Rabbit** is the first short in the Trix Toons series.

## Plot

This short is about the Trix rabbit as a cowboy who goes to the town of Portal 9, where he learns that an evil rabbit named Tibar has stolen the town supply of Trix Yogurt from a poster, and takes matters into his own hands (also for his own desire as well), and goes to a saloon in the town to ask where and who he is.

The saloon’s piano is being played by a very talkative and nerdy girl named Missy who has been playing non-stop for 3 months, much to the Silly Rabbit’s annoyance. He learns from Sandra (who’s being portrayed as a bartender) that Tibar is headed for the border so he can use the yogurt as fuel for his mind control ray so he can control the world’s minds, and shows him where he is.

The Rabbit blasts off to chase him down, just so he can win the the girl, as well as the yogurt. He tries to stop him but he is too fast to catch up to, so he tricks him instead by pretending to be a damsel in distress tied to the train tracks of an oncoming train calling for help, which Tibar falls for and tries to rescue “her” until she comes up with a plan by pretending to argue about how she should be rescuing him instead because of new times, and then she puts the dress on Tibar and ties him up, and then right before the oncoming train runs over and flattens Tibar, the Silly Rabbit gets a call from his mom but then Tibar survives and declares a pillow fight. They fight each other until eventually Tibar knocks him to the ground and wins the pillow fight but then gets hit by the train, thus defeating him and leaving the Silly Rabbit with the town supply of Trix Yogurt to bring back to the town.

He comes back with the whole supply and gains the respect of everyone there, but then is disappointed when Sandra kisses Bob instead, but that at least has the Trix Yogurt. But right before he is about to eat it, it falls out of his hand right when the The End text appears on the screen.

## Trivia

* This is the only short where an image of the actual Trix yogurt food product is shown in the commercial.
* This is the only short where Stan does not speak and is portrayed as a background character.

## Goofs

* Once Tibar comes back from being ran over by the train in the Damsel in Distress outfit, he suddenly has his Mexican bandit outfit as soon as he declares the pillow fight.
* When The Silly Rabbit puts the Damsel in Distress outfit on Tibar, he then returns to his cowboy outfit very instantly, and likewise, Tibar's outfit comes off very quickly and isn't seen lying on the ground.
* Realistically, Missy would've only been able to continuously play the piano for around 1 single day before having extreme muscle spasms and without being able to speak or sing for a while from overworking her hands and voice. She may have taken breaks or something.
* The Silly Rabbit jumps onto his horse, Harvey, on backwards but then in the next shot is seen forward on him again.
* It is unknown why the Silly Rabbit went off of his horse in the beginning of the short. (Probably just to read the wanted poster of Tibar.)
* It is unkown why a saloon has props that look like people. (Most likely to make it look busy.)
* Either this is a parallel universe where mobile phones exist, or this is today and the town is permanently keeping it's theme. There is a very high and possible chance of this being the case, as the population of Poughkeepsie was 29,872 in 2008 which was was this short was released on the old Trix/General Mills website, and it's population during the 1900s being somewhere around 300.
