Triângulo Amoroso

Hare Splitter is not one of Freleng's or Bugs' best. The story isn't dull I give you and it does have that Freleng touch that but there is little that makes it stand out, you do feel as though you've seen it before and better. Casbah has his moments like with the mousetrap, but he is one of Bugs' stupidest foils and does feel bland compared to Bugs rather than matching him. The animation however is good, the colours are luscious and it looks fluid. The music has a lot of energy and lively orchestration, once again being a large part of the humour and the cartoon working. The dialogue has its wit, Bugs' "What an ignoramus!" is classic Bugs and did amuse me a great deal. The gags are not the most inspired but they are fun, the exploding carrots was the best part for me. Mel Blanc's vocals have the enthusiasm as one would expect. In conclusion, definitely worth watching but don't expect anything particularly innovative. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This time, Bugs Bunny and a big doofus rabbit - apparently named Casbah, although I didn't catch his name while watching the cartoon - vie for sexy female rabbit Daisy. When Bugs discovers that she's gone shopping, he dresses up as her. If you ever had any doubt about how far Bugs's cross-dressing goes, just check out that gag with the stockings; I bet that no real-life actor would have dared do that on screen in 1948! True, there are lots of romantic rivalries portrayed in movies and cartoons. But you don't usually see one of the men using a mouse trap and dynamite (the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons loved mouse traps and dynamite, didn't they?). All in all, not a great cartoon, but fairly entertaining. And Daisy was REALLY HOT!

Entertaining Bugs Bunny short that has Bugs competing with his neighbor Casbah for the affections of female rabbit Daisy. This is one of those cartoons where Bugs dresses up as a woman, which is fascinating for some today for reasons that are probably best left unexamined. Bugs is funny as usual. Dimwitted Casbah almost steals the show from him, however. Typically great voice work from Mel Blanc. Lively music from Carl Stalling. The animation is lovely, with rich colors and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Some funny gags and lines. Just a solid cartoon that most Bugs fans will probably like. Nothing extraordinary but fun.

Friz Freleng directed this funny - but ordinary - cartoon, Hare Splitter. The animation is nothing special, the story is good, the gags are no better than the usual Friz cartoon. Generally it just blends in with the crowd. The best moments are those which show Freleng's directorial touches, for instance the scene in which Casbah's hand is inspecting a mousetrap he's not looking at. We see Casbah's face, not the mousetrap, and the triggering of the trap is delayed as we see Casbah's puzzled face, accompanied by Carl Stalling's illustrative music. Bugs and Casbah (a big, stupid lunk by the way) are rivals, battling for Daisy Lou's affections. When Bugs reaches her house, he finds her out shopping, so he dresses up as Daisy to fool his dense opponent. Funny, and worth a watch; not a terrible loss if you don't see it: there are a couple hundred others.

This is your typical Bugs Bunny cartoon, complete with enemy antagonist (another bigger and more moronic bunny), explosive carrots and enough slapstick to keep Bugs' fans happy.

Daisy is out on a shopping spree while Bugs decides he has to get rid of his arch rival in a hurry. He dresses up like Daisy and has a little success at first, completely fooling the dummy and getting some shots at him that the foolish one thinks are merely a part of Daisy's explosive personality. He catches on--finally--and by the time the real Daisy returns, he decides to get even, thinking it's still Bugs in disguise.

Fun to watch but definitely not one of the top BB cartoons. Still, kids should love its slapstick moments that are frequent and a bit over the top even for a cartoon.
