Bugs Bunny casse-noisettes

Long Haired-Hare may be the only cartoon short with the distinction of incorporating a hilarious, epic lesson in harmonic physics as a climatic punch-line.

I love the bugs vs Elmer opera cartoons. My two year old daughter loves them too which means I have seen this about 30 times. This one of the ones I still like to watch but if splitting hairs I'd say not as good as what's opera doc or the rabbit of Seville. Enjoy

This short is just hilarious! I love the way Bugs wreaks his revenge on the stuffy opera singer by making him sing high notes until he brings the concert hall down on top of him. Bugs's conducting technique is amazing! And he pulls out his banjo for the finishing touch. Absolute perfection. Chuck Jones directed some wonderful shorts, but this is my favorite of the ones I've seen so far.

When I try to decide which is the best Looney Tunes cartoon ever, it's a shoo-in between "Long-Haired Hare" and "What's Opera, Doc?". In "Long-Haired Hare", Bugs Bunny is singing some songs and playing instruments to accompany them, when overstuffed opera singer Giovanni Jones smashes Bugs' instruments and ties him up. Bugs affirms to the camera "Of course you realize this means war." So, when Jones is performing at the Hollywood Bowl, Bugs plays all sorts of tricks on him. Best of all are the hand directions. This is a veritable triumph-of-the-underdog story. You just can't go wrong with the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. Perfect.

If you were to ask me, "Who do you prefer, Daffy or Bugs?", I would immediately say Daffy. However, I do have to admit that sometimes Bugs Bunny can put on a very good performance and this is one of them.

In this, Bugs Bunny is playing a number of instruments on a hillside and singing. At the bottom of the hill, a famous opera singer is trying to practise for a big concert later on. He is constantly distracted by Bugs and takes revenge mercilessly. Bugs is determined to have HIS revenge...

I like this because of the plot, the humour, the opera and singing.

I recommend this to people who like Bugs Bunny in anything and who can bear with opera. Enjoy! :-)
