Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

TheLittleSongbird Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.While not one of my favourite cartoons of all time and never will be, 'Porky's Hare Hunt' is nonetheless very well made and very entertaining. It is interesting to see a proto-version of Bugs Bunny before Bugs Bunny became famous and Porky Pig paired with a character that wasn't primarily Daffy Duck. There's not much wrong actually in 'Porky's Hare Hunt', it is very slight on story and there's not much original in it.Porky is a lot of fun and very likable in a type of role that suits him, but he makes more of an impression as a supporting character later on, he sometimes was a little bland in early lead roles. Having said that, there is so much to recommend.However, the animation is very good. It's beautifully drawn, very detailed and it's done in a crisp black and white, complete with some great expressions for particularly the rabbit.Carl Stalling's music score is typically lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms, it's also beautifully synchronised with the action and gestures/expressions and even enhances the impact. All of those things Stalling was an unparalleled master at in animation, or at least in my view.The rabbit is no Bugs, not as interesting in personality, but the character drives the action to fun effect. There are a lot of very funny and cute moments. Zero is the same. Timing is lively. Mel Blanc's versatility as ever shines impeccably.Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . -Y and getting away with it, which gives them the confidence to become President of the United States. Mel Blanc, on the other hand, said during broadcast interviews that he devoted his time in junior high to perfecting his "Ha Ha Ha HAA Ha!" Heckle-and-Jeckle cackling laugh, which he tries out here first on D. Bugs Bunny (the "D" standing for Daffy). The "hare" in PORKY'S HARE HUNT is meaner than Yosemite Sam, nastier than Nasty Canasta, and more Satanic than the Tasmanian Devil. By the end of Porky's ill-fated rabbit quest, Prototype Bugs has put the porker into a hospital bed, with his broken leg winched toward the ceiling in traction. Beta Bugs stops by to visit Porky, bearing a bouquet of buds. However, when Big Pig informs Funny Bunny that he's "okay," expecting to be discharged in a week, the nightmare hare chortles "That's what you think!" proceeding to inflict MORE fractures upon Porky's limbs and loins. This all goes to prove that IF Mr. Blanc had NOT frittered away his middle school years in idle pursuits, but instead done something worthwhile such as groping girls (mastering The Art of the Feel), he too could have been a POTUS contender.

Mightyzebra Some people disagree on whether this episode is Bugs Bunny's first appearance. The rabbit/ hare here is incredibly different from the Bugs we know today. However, I like to think that this is Bugs Bunny and in ways I prefer him to the later Bugs. I just slightly prefer what he looks like in this to his nowadays state (and his size). Bugs Bunny's original name was Happy Rabbit, which I think suits him here.I like this episode because of the personality of the old Bugs Bunny, the gags (which are a little like Disney gags) and Zero (Porky's dog) is sweet. It may have little plot, but this is hardly a flaw. Indeed, it could have been better with a plot, but it was not necessary.What happens, is that (like in Porky's Duck Hunt) Porky is hunting, but this time for rabbits. With his dog Zero Porky Pig tries to catch the wild and Houdini-like Bugs Bunny, but is not seeming to be managing...Recommended for people who enjoy old Looney Tunes and who would like to see the most charming Bugs Bunny ever! Enjoy "Porky's Hare Hunt"! :-)

Lee Eisenberg And thus is born the earliest version of Bugs Bunny (informally called Happy Rabbit). Though anonymous in "Porky's Hare Hunt" and hardly resembling the rascal famous today, the screwball rabbit is one of the funniest characters whom I've ever seen. Sporting a Woody Woodpecker voice, he does pretty much the same sorts of things that the early Daffy Duck did in "Porky's Duck Hunt".So at the very least, this cartoon should be required viewing for animation historians. The hooligan hare utters Groucho Marx's "Of course you realize this means war!" for the first time. It would still be two years before audiences would hear "What's up, doc?" spoken by the rabbit's more familiar form, but there's a sense that this bunny has some really cool tricks up his sleeve. You gotta love it.All in all, definitely a cartoon milestone. Available on YouTube.
