Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

. . . to warn America against computers with this animated short, TO HARE IS HUMAN. It turns out that Wile E. Coyote is an Early Adopter of the Univac Computer. However, before the conclusion of HUMAN Mr. Coyote gets blown up five times and crushed once. It develops that his Univac has been hacked by Bugs Bunny, turning Wile's life upside down. By the end of this episode, it's revealed that Bugs is Alan Turing (who won WWII by decoding the Nazi Enigma Machine), Edward Snowden, and the Dread Pirate Roberts, all rolled into one. A country that turns its financial system, record keeping, and national security over to computers deserves to be Terrorized back to Stone Age Anarchy by every pajama-clad Third World hacker clicking away in some tent, tee pee, igloo, or cave, Warner points out to America with HUMAN. However, tax dollars have been squandered for the past 60 years on public schools teaching fluff like sex and driver's education, rather than worthwhile subjects, such as Looney Tunes. Since you get what you pay for, Today's U.S. roads are clogged with bad drivers, our birth rate has never been lower, and computers lurk around every corner.

The story is a little on the predictable side, and the title is rather curious, but To Hare is Human is otherwise very enjoyable. The animation is colourful and vibrant enough, and the music is energetic and rousing. Also excellent are the witty dialogue, some truly clever sight gags and some fast pacing. And I loved Bugs and Coyote together, don't get me wrong I do like the roadrunner vs. Coyote cartoons, but the cartoons with Bugs vs. Coyote are wittier and much more manic. Coyote is still as crafty as ever, yet is always the one who gets the worst of the joke(don't worry, for anyone who is tired of Coyote of falling down a cliff, it doesn't happen here), while Bugs is just as witty, rascally and charming as ever. Both characters are brilliantly voiced by the immortal Mel Blanc. Overall, very enjoyable to watch. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Chuck Jones's 'To Hare is Human' is an expansion on 'Operation: Rabbit', a cartoon that pitted Bugs Bunny against a vocal version of Wile E. Coyote. I was never fond of 'Operation: Rabbit', partly because I wasn't keen on a talking version of the Coyote, but since this version of the character already existed, there was no harm in making a sequel. As it transpire, 'To Hare is Human' is actually a very funny short. By this point, the Road Runner series was well established and Jones had more to lose by pushing forward with this alternative version of the Coyote but, happily, it pays off this time round. Michael Maltese's script is a great improvement on 'Operation: Rabbit', beginning with a very clever sequence in which the Coyote deconstructs what we expect of Bugs's usual adversaries. This witty sequence segues into a series of often hilarious, brilliantly executed gags, all of which are tied together by scenes in which the Coyote consults a huge machine as to how he should approach catching Bugs. The ending is a predictable variation on the climax to several Road Runner cartoons but this disappointing finale is not enough to diminish the quality of the rest of the film. While there will always be a part of me that wishes Jones had never given the Coyote a voice, 'To Hare is Human' is the best argument against this viewpoint.

This is one of the three (I think) cartoons in which our buddy, Wile E. Coyote, goes after Bugs Bunny instead of the Road Runner. Either way, you know it's going to be fun to watch. Audio-wise, however, I can never put this proper-Old English Gentleman voice and dialog together with Wile. It just doesn't match.As in one of the other ones I watched, Wile hands Bugs his card. This one is a little fancier and reads, "Wile E. Coyote - Genius; Have Brain, Will Travel. (For those too young, a popular western TV show at the time was called "Have Gun, Will Travel.")Another sign of the cartoon date is the "Univac" in Wile's cave. That big machine is actually a computer and they were giant things that only rich corporations could afford. The days of personal computers were still a few decades away.I enjoyed Bugs' lair in this cartoon, and is remedies for getting rid of the coyote, he can he showed up, which he did several times, of course. Wile might have had all the latest technology but we know which of the two characters had the real brains.
