Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Vimacone Many great cartoon characters developed overtime and had more than one person involved in creation. Contrary to popular belief, Bugs Bunny was not done by a solo creator. However, the origin of the rabbit can be traced to Ben Hardaway's unit in 1937. Reportedly, he decided to put "that crazy duck in a rabbit suit". The first two films were favorably received by audiences.The influence of Daffy is very evident in these early shorts. The fairly recent shorts PORKY'S DUCK HUNT (1937) and DAFFY DUCK & EGGHEAD (1938) (Hardaway is credited as a writer) created the trope of a crazy prey heckling its predator. The model sheets for this cartoon are labeled Bugs' Bunny (Ben Hardaway's nickname was Bugs). While Hardaway has never been in high regard compared to his contemporaries, this single film has been his claim to fame in the WB cartoons. It's also one of the greatest ironies in cartoon history.Most fans know about the lost ending that was cut before the initial theatrical release. The greatest mystery now is why the ending was cut, as the edit seems arbitrary. It also raises another bigger question, What other cartoons, and films in general, have this kind of long lost footage?Shortly after this short was released, Hardaway went to work at the Walter Lantz studio, where he had a major hand in the creation of Woody Woodpecker. Truly a key artist in the Golden Age of Animation.This is a key cartoon in Bugs Bunny's filmography that's a must see.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . irate American citizen, taxpayer, and Tea Partier "John Sourpuss" growls in response to newspaper headlines about the U.S. National Butchers Union imposing a 33% price increase on beef and pork so that they can earn a "Living Wage." Bugs Bunny, still cackling like Heckle and Jeckle during his "Happy Rabbit" Daffy Hare infancy, naively believes that Government Rules and Regulations will save him from harm in HARE-UM SCARE-UM. Sadly for Mr. Hoppy, he has not been heeding the Looney Tuners many prognostications concerning the Advent of Trumpism. These Flat Earthers would put the U.S. on the primrose path to IDIOCRACY on Jan. 20, 2017, by eliminating ALL government regulations, inspectors, and regulators. As choice cuts of Mad Cow Disease filled America's Meat Racks, Rich People Party Operatives giggled at the thought of a U.S. 2020 Electorate even DUMBER than that of 2016 (with most voter brains becoming holier than a wedge of Swiss cheese). No wonder "Happy Rabbit" sobers up to become the cynical "Bugs Bunny" once he realizes the havoc the Trumpsters such as "John Sourpuss" will wreak on a deluded America.

Lee Eisenberg The current food crisis (or whatever to call it) in the world makes the otherwise goofy "Hare-um Scare-um" rather relevant. When a hunter can't buy food at the store, he and his dog go hunting. Needless to say, they come across a manic rabbit who makes their lives a living hell. Talking like Woody Woodpecker and behaving like Daffy Duck, this hare is a really wacky one! As the anonymous bunny affirms: "You don't have to be crazy to do this...but it sure helps!" Obviously, this cartoon holds a special historical significance as one of four cartoons (the others were "Porky's Hare Hunt", "Prest-o Change-o" and "Elmer's Candid Camera") starring the rabbit who eventually morphed into Bugs Bunny. Even if you don't know that the leporid here would soon become a street-smart, wise-cracking dude with a Brooklyn-Bronx accent, the cartoon is still a total hoot. But the fact that this nutty rabbit soon evolved into the Groucho Marx of rabbits just goes to show the importance (not to mention the hilarity) of this cartoon, and Mel Blanc's talent with voices. I truly recommend it.PS: director Cal Dalton ran Friz Freleng's unit from 1937-1939. Freleng had moved to MGM for a more lucrative job, and so Cal Dalton and Ben Hardaway took over his unit. When MGM canceled the series that Freleng had been directing, Warner Bros. rehired him ("You Ought to Be in Pictures" loosely alluded to his experience).

Mister-6 In just eight minutes, this early cartoon shows one of the early incarnations of Bugs Bunny doing what Bugs does best: outwitting hunters, getting the better of dogs and singing about how crazy he is."Hare-um Scare-um" has the hunter (an early Elmer Fudd?) hunting after our boy due to high meat prices and getting the worst of it at every turn - as is par for the course here. Bugs even tends to the hunter's dog after a dizzy spell ("Do you succumb to fits? So do I!") and acts as a decoy female pup ("I think you got something there, buddy!"), all in the name of some laughs. And they're here, thanks once again to Mel Blanc's voice wizardry and a skewed sense of humor.You'll love the last scene. Classic.Ten stars for "Hare-um Scare-um". Great job, Bugs - oh, and you too, Mel.
