An ordinary cartoon which has its moments.
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.
