Bill of Hare Audience Reviews

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) And he is the one trying to have Bugs for dinner in this 6-minute cartoon from over 50 years ago. This was already done in the later stages of the cartoon boom that started in the 1930s. And Taz basically does a fine job as, in contrast to the likes of Elmer, he constantly manages to catch Bugs and get him ready to have dinner "with" him. But Bugs would not be Bugs if he wasn't able to always get away safely. I always liked the Tasmanian Devil as a character, but sadly, the jokes in this one here are not really on par with Warner Bros' best from previous decades (including other works from McKimson starring Blanc) and Taz alone cannot really carry this short film either. Not recommended.
utgard14 I'm not really a fan of the Tasmanian Devil. I'm kind of surprised he's lasted as long as he has. He's a pretty one-note character that has no personality. Cool character design, though. So they put him with Bugs, who has sparred with all types with usually good results. But even Bugs can't make Taz interesting. The plot to this, such as it is, finds Taz determined to eat Bugs and being outsmarted repeatedly. It's not great. Bugs is amusing but the gags aren't strong and, like I said, Taz is lame. The animation is crude, too. By the way, the title makes no sense. Judging by the opening title graphic and the only phrase that I can think of, it's supposed to be a pun on 'bill of sale.' Usually their puns are more clever than that and make sense, like 'hare tonic' instead of 'hair tonic' and so on. 'Bill of hare' is a stupid title. It's a watchable cartoon for fans but nothing special.
Lee Eisenberg Previously, Bugs Bunny had ended up unexpectedly in the Tasmanian Devil's domain, but this time Taz gets brought to Bugs's land. As always, Taz has an appetite for everything, especially rabbit, but has no way of eating Bugs. Somehow, Bugs makes all his nemeses forget that they're enemies! I guess that just about every Taz cartoon has pretty much the same plot, and there were in fact a limited number of Taz cartoons. But I always love how the Australian omnivore's appetite always gets the better of him. Maybe there's nothing special about "Bill of Hare", but it's certainly fun to watch. I'm sure that you'll like it.
Robert Reynolds It's Close Encounters For the Third Time and, if anything, Taz comes off even worse this time. I guess his taste for rabbit is exceptionally pronounced. Anyhow, the jokes are more sight gag oriented than verbal here, although the close is very amusing. Taz is really all too limited a character in these cartoons to really be a good foil for The Rabbit. Good cartoon and worh watching but not the best.
