Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Michael_Elliott Haredevil Hare (1948) *** (out of 4) Earth is about to send someone to outer space for the first time so why shouldn't it be Bugs Bunny? Once the rabbit lands on the moon he is soon to meet a man from Mars known as Marvin the Martian. I know millions of people really love this short but I've never found it to live up to its reputation. This is certainly a good entry in the long-running Bugs series but I wouldn't go as far as to call it one of his best. What does work here is a strong performance by Bugs who manages to get several laughs, which include his hilarious reason for finally agreeing to travel to the moon. The space dog is another plus as he gets several laughs but I'm still not totally sold on Marvin. He would certainly get better in future shorts but his first appearance is rather hit and miss. He's entertaining visually but his voice has often turned me off.

Neil Doyle This is a highly amusing Bugs Bunny romp from Chuck Jones. This time the bunny is a reluctant astronaut who wants nothing to do with the spaceship to Mars, only changing his mind at the last minute when he spots the carrots being loaded.Turns out he's not alone when he lands there. Seems that Marvin the Martian has also landed and is intent on blowing up the earth. When Bug realizes the Martian's sinister intentions--and has some amusing conversations with Marvin and his henchman--a silly looking dog--he goes into action to prevent the catastrophe.Crisply drawn, with Bugs Bunny benefiting from Mel Blanc's colorful vocal assistance, it's a very amusing spin on all the Buck Rogers type of stuff audiences were lapping up in the late '40s and well into the '50s.Timely and terrific.

Mightyzebra ...Except he would not be called that for a few years!Anyhow, this is one good cartoon! This cartoon is very impressive; it has a space rocket and a trip to the moon featured more than ten years before these things existed! If you watch the cartoon you will see what I mean. The only way you can tell that this cartoon was made before the famous trip made by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin etc is because at the beginning there is a newspaper saying "Scientists Sent To Launch First Rocket To Moon" at the beginning of the episode. As well as all this good stuff about the cartoon, we have a good performance from Bugs Bunny, the first appearance of Marvin (who has an unfamiliar voice here), the first appearance of K-9 (who in ways is better than Marvin here), good plotting and good animation.As I have mentioned before, a newspaper saying, "Scientists Sent To Launch First Rocket To Moon" to start off the cartoon. We then come to see the "eager" volunteer. Bugs Bunny is being dragged along by three men, crying out that he does not want to do this mission. Eager? Not likely! However, when he sees carrots being piled into the big spaceship, Bugs changes his mind and runs ahead to have some carrots. He is in for a surprise, especially when he lands on the moon...I recommend this to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny, anyone who likes Marvin (and who would not mind his voice being different) and old WB cartoons. Enjoy "Haredevil Hare"! :-)

PeachHamBeach Here we meet for the first time, that lovable mouthless Martian, Marvin, only back then, he was known as Commander X2. He also has a green eared dog named K9 who assists him. In this first of many attempts to "blow up the earth" with the "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulatoah", X2 is thwarted by heroic Bugs, who didn't want to go to the moon in the first place, but oh, aren't we glad he did???!!!
