Hare Do

Elmer Fudd uses his Army surplus wabbit detector. He tracks Bugs Bunny off a cliff and to his home. Bugs escapes and takes a car to the movies. It is a long way up to his seat in the top balcony. He is followed closely by Elmer Fudd.

This is a classic Bugs Bunny vs Elmer Fudd cartoon. They are the perfect foils for each other. There is a bit of transition as they move from the forest to a theater. I guess that it's a little awkward to be hunting in a theater. So it does need to go from the woods to the city. Ultimately, I am sold by the characters climbing up the stairs in the dark. That has always been hilarious to me.

Hare Do starts out with the all too familiar scene of Elmer Fudd hunting for Bugs.Elmer chases Bugs into a theater(which for some reason,has a separate theater cost for rabbits)and many great jokes and gags ensue,like when the theater management seems to have a message at the box office for Elmer,Elmer reports to the box office,and gets a pie in the face by Bugs Bunny.Another great gag is when Bugs keeps pulling up and down the intermission lever so the theater patrons keep trampling Elmer.But you'll love the ending,when Bugs disguises himself as an usher and escorts Elmer to a theater balcony and well..................I'll leave you to figure this out for yourself.I recommend this to anybody.10 outta 10.

This is pretty good. As usual, Elmer is after that "cwazy wabbit." Elmer chases Bugs out of the woods into a movie theater. What transpires is one blitz after another. Being trampled by patrons. Being grabbed by head ushers. Being put on a unicycle, blindfolded. But he never loses his spirit. Even though he never wins, we should all be a bit like Elmer.

I will admit when this cartoon started, I wasn't sure what significance the title had. All the same, this cartoon is one of my personal favourite Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd cartoons. The animation is great as always(I loved the design of the theatre especially), the music is wonderful and Mel Blanc's characterisations of both Bugs and Usher are spot on, and Arthur Q Bryan also does an exemplary job as Elmer. And the two characters are priceless as per usual.

While the script is great and like dynamite, the visual jokes were what made this cartoon for me. The repeated gags of Elmer getting thrown out of the theatre after Bugs exclaims "this man is annoying me" and the audience rushing madly to and from the auditorium with Elmer on the floor trying to get up the whole time were impeccably timed. But my favourite was the ending, I sure wasn't expecting that, and my jove it was very very funny. Another gag was "Do you have a message for Mr Fudd?" "SPLAT!" All in all, I love this cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox

After the usual Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd beginning - Elmer hunting Bugs in the woods -this cartoon takes a neat twist, with Bugs racing to the city and hiding out in a movie theater. (First, though, we did get a look at Elmer's new fancy radar-wabbit detector-gun, which is army surplus and fun to see in action.)

I enjoyed seeing director Friz Freleng plugging himself on a billboard. Did anyone else catch that? The billboard reads "Friz - the wonder soup - at every grocery!" It is seen as Bugs is hitching a ride out of the country to get away from Elmer.

I loved the artwork at the movie. You know, they don't make spectacular movie theaters like that anymore, but I've been to a few and they look just like the one pictured here. The best one was in St Louis with six balconies. Here, the one has 15!

Anyway, Bugs and Elmer keep donning disguises at the theater to catch one another. Bugs even gets a fake announcement to be put on screen to divert Elmer. His response? "Oh, you twecherwous twickster!!"

How the movie theater instantly turned into literally a circus with a high wire act is a little far-fetched but, hey, that's a cartoon for you.

This can be seen on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume three DVD.
