Falling Hare

"I like him...he's silly!" and "These blockbuster bombs don't go off unless you hit them....just right." Priceless. Leave it to Warner Brothers to make war funny. Cartoons are like God...intensely personal. The ratings are really meaningless. If you love a certain cartoon...who's got the right to tell you you are wrong? I dare someone to tell me they viewed this little gem and didn't at least smile.

When I saw this cartoon I said to myself,"That's what I want to do. Become an animator and make cartoons like THAT!" And, here I am in my final year of animation school. I hope I live up to that promise.

The cute gremlin did his best to make Bugs go crazy...till the end..where..well watch this funny cartoon and you will see what I mean!

Gremlins. It takes something special to get the best of Bugs, but it happens in this cartoon. I love how the music stops to let the gremlin laugh while he is driving crazy through the sky and about to enter the city skyscrapers. This cartoon is also a history lesson waiting to happen. I want to know more about "A cards" after seeing this cartoon. It provides a window into a time of war that is being forgotten too easily by America's youth. I want to watch this cartoon with an older person who lived during that time so he/she can tell me about some of the refrences I don't get. I would love to see the Cartoon Network do a special on LT and MM cartoons that make war refrences, then explains those jokes or refrences in terms that kids can understand and appreciate.

"Falling Hare" and "The Old Gray Hare" are the best Bugs Bunny cartoons ever made. Period. Robert Clampett, while he did not make a hero of Bugs Bunny as Chuck Jones did (as a matter of fact, Bugs came out on the short end of the stick in "Tortoise Wins by a Hare" and gets manhandled in "Falling Hare"), created the 2 best cartoons with Bugs. "Falling Hare" is superb;the pace starts slowly and gradually picks up steam. Watch the animation as Bugs rolls his eyes while saying "oh, bruddah" while reading about Gremlins. The music is frantic and varied. "The Old Gray Hare" has some of the funniest put-downs of Elmer Fudd ever committed to film (What's up, pruneface? So long, Methuselah!) as well as brutal sick humor (Rest in Pieces, a bottle of carrot juice smashed on baby Elmer's head)and an irresistable premise & story. For my money, cartoon for cartoon, Robert Clampett from 1942-1946 was the finest cartoon director. EVER! Sorry, Chuck

Great rare footage of someone getting the best of Bugs Bunny. Or should I have said HARE footage. This little gremlin shows that you can't judge anything by its size. This one is one of my favorites. I just hope that gremlin is now working for the US military.
