I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Technically speaking, Bugs Bunny appeared in three other films before this one. However, the look and especially the sound of the Bunny were quite different. However, here he looks close to the classic rabbit and sounds just like him--but more importantly he acts like him, as he outsmarts Elmer Fudd again and again in this film.As would be the case in many subsequent films, Elmer is out rabbit hunting and unfortunately his prey is a lot smarter than he is. Time and time again, he is defeated by the fast-thinking Bugs.What makes this film outstanding is its historical importance as well as the beauty of the cartoon. The animation and especially the backgrounds are stunning--and much nicer than in later Bugs cartoons. Clever and worth seeing for any fan of animation.

And what a hoot of a cartoon A Wild Hare is. The animation has been better, but it is still very nice and colourful. The music is as pretty much always a delight with the opening theme bringing back so many memories. Bugs is still endearing, and Elmer is still the dim-witted and naive hunter we know and love today, and Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan's voices are note perfect. Even better though is the dialogue, I can't count the amount of times I laughed at a piece of dialogue alone in this cartoon..."Shhh be vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits", "oh boy wabbit twacks", "confidentially... I AM A WABBIT!" and "Hedy Wamarr.(Nope) Barbwa Stanwyk(Nope). Rosemawy Wayne(Nope guess again). Owivia DeHaviwand(Nope but you're getting warmer). Say, you wouldn't be that screwy wabbit, would you?(Ehhh...could be)" are just a few of the best bits of dialogue in the cartoon. In fact the cartoon is full of great dialogue.The sight gags are very good too the best being Bugs's fake death scene, but I think this was a case of the dialogue stealing the show. Overall, this is a truly terrific Bugs Bunny cartoon. 10/10 Bethany Cox

"A Wild Hare" is a landmark film in cartoon history. Why? Because director Tex Avery incorporated a tall, gray rabbit who would ultimately become a superstar: Bugs Bunny, voiced by the great Mel Blanc. (There were other Warner Bros. cartoon rabbits prior to Bugs, but they never even came close to Bugs' popularity.) Co-starring with Bugs is another character who would also eventually become a prominent Warner Bros. cartoon star: a dopey, stupid hunter named Elmer Fudd, voiced by the always uncredited Arthur Q. Bryan. "A Wild Hare" became a huge hit with audiences, who then began clamoring for more appearances by that wascawwy wabbit.Here are my favorite highlights from this classic cartoon. To begin with, how could any fans of the Warner Bros. cartoons overlook the very first occurrences of Bugs' line "What's up, Doc?" and Elmer's line "Be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits"? Carl Stalling's music score is childishly funny as Bugs hops in circles around Elmer. And when Bugs covers Elmer's eyes, stupid Elmer guesses the names of four famous Hollywood actresses before determining that it might be that scwewy wabbit covering his eyes."A Wild Hare" was the start of many, many, MANY more Bugs Bunny cartoons to come. At the end of this film, Elmer almost ruins the humorous atmosphere by sobbing violently when he thinks he killed Bugs, but Bugs fortunately puts a stop to Elmer's weeping with a gag.

Here is Tex Avery's magnificent film in which we are first introduced to a brownish-gray colored hare named Bugs, although we really don't hear his name spoken in this film. Yet that immortal phrase, "What's Up Doc???" is here, and Bugs is a sly, bold, incredibly smart woodland creature outfoxing that "wovable" hunter, Elmer Fudd. No more wacky prototypes. Bugs is at last fleshed out the way he should be. I appreciate his "Dad" and "Grandpa" very much. Someone's dream wouldn't have come true without them and our star might never have been born without them. Nevertheless, the star is Bugs Bunny!!! And after this film, he was well on his way to becoming what he is today.Thank you Tex Avery!!!
