StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

TheLittleSongbird Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.While not one of my favourite cartoons of all time and never will be, 'Porky's Hare Hunt' is nonetheless very well made and very entertaining. It is interesting to see a proto-version of Bugs Bunny before Bugs Bunny became famous and Porky Pig paired with a character that wasn't primarily Daffy Duck. There's not much wrong actually in 'Porky's Hare Hunt', it is very slight on story and there's not much original in it.Porky is a lot of fun and very likable in a type of role that suits him, but he makes more of an impression as a supporting character later on, he sometimes was a little bland in early lead roles. Having said that, there is so much to recommend.However, the animation is very good. It's beautifully drawn, very detailed and it's done in a crisp black and white, complete with some great expressions for particularly the rabbit.Carl Stalling's music score is typically lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms, it's also beautifully synchronised with the action and gestures/expressions and even enhances the impact. All of those things Stalling was an unparalleled master at in animation, or at least in my view.The rabbit is no Bugs, not as interesting in personality, but the character drives the action to fun effect. There are a lot of very funny and cute moments. Zero is the same. Timing is lively. Mel Blanc's versatility as ever shines impeccably.Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . -Y and getting away with it, which gives them the confidence to become President of the United States. Mel Blanc, on the other hand, said during broadcast interviews that he devoted his time in junior high to perfecting his "Ha Ha Ha HAA Ha!" Heckle-and-Jeckle cackling laugh, which he tries out here first on D. Bugs Bunny (the "D" standing for Daffy). The "hare" in PORKY'S HARE HUNT is meaner than Yosemite Sam, nastier than Nasty Canasta, and more Satanic than the Tasmanian Devil. By the end of Porky's ill-fated rabbit quest, Prototype Bugs has put the porker into a hospital bed, with his broken leg winched toward the ceiling in traction. Beta Bugs stops by to visit Porky, bearing a bouquet of buds. However, when Big Pig informs Funny Bunny that he's "okay," expecting to be discharged in a week, the nightmare hare chortles "That's what you think!" proceeding to inflict MORE fractures upon Porky's limbs and loins. This all goes to prove that IF Mr. Blanc had NOT frittered away his middle school years in idle pursuits, but instead done something worthwhile such as groping girls (mastering The Art of the Feel), he too could have been a POTUS contender.

Lee Eisenberg And thus is born the earliest version of Bugs Bunny (informally called Happy Rabbit). Though anonymous in "Porky's Hare Hunt" and hardly resembling the rascal famous today, the screwball rabbit is one of the funniest characters whom I've ever seen. Sporting a Woody Woodpecker voice, he does pretty much the same sorts of things that the early Daffy Duck did in "Porky's Duck Hunt".So at the very least, this cartoon should be required viewing for animation historians. The hooligan hare utters Groucho Marx's "Of course you realize this means war!" for the first time. It would still be two years before audiences would hear "What's up, doc?" spoken by the rabbit's more familiar form, but there's a sense that this bunny has some really cool tricks up his sleeve. You gotta love it.All in all, definitely a cartoon milestone. Available on YouTube.

PeachHamBeach The little white nameless rabbit with the bulbous black nose is considered by many as the very first version of what would later become Bugs Bunny. An early Porky goes rabbit hunting with his dog and is outwitted again and again by this "granddaddy" of Bugsy!!!In June 2001, Cartoon Network ran an almost entire filmography of Mr. Bunny, beginning with Porky's Hare Hunt. The second cartoon in this "filmography" featured this same pinkish-white bunny with a big black nose in a haunted house with 2 dogs.As the weekend marathon, known as "June Bugs" progressed from this 1938 cartoon to the very latest of Bugs' works, we saw the little pinkish white rabbit who was kind of daffy and hyper metamorphose into the wise cracking, brazen hare of Tex Avery and Robert Clampett fame, and then into an older, kinder, more mature Bugs that Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, and Robert McKimson preferred. As a lifelong fan of Bugs and the Looney Tunes, I could not ignore the need for this little cartoon to be mentioned.
