Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

TheLittleSongbird I absolutely love The Old Grey Hare. While one or two parts do take a little too long to build up, this cartoon is still one of Bob Clampett's best, and when he is good, he is great. The animation is excellent. The colours are plentiful and very beautiful to look at, the backgrounds are both simple and imaginative and the character designs are convincing, particularly with Bugs. The music is energetic and rousing, exactly how I like it to be, with the use of the Light Calvary Overture nicely judged. Actually some of the gags work so well because of the music come to think of it, in particular the one with the tuba.The concept here is an interesting one, when Elmer goes into the future and Bugs reminisces about babyhood. I was intrigued about how it would turn out, and it did turn out wonderfully. The story was well-paced more at the end than the beginning, carefully structured and maintained its freshness throughout. The Old Grey Hare also excelled in its humour, and I was surprised at how much there was for such a short running time. The sight gags are very funny, and the dialogue is witty and also has an element of cuteness without being too cloying. And the climax was both haunting and clever.Elmer and Bugs work very well together. Elmer does have a persona of being dim-witted and somewhat naive, and while this persona is apparent what I liked especially about Elmer here was that the writers decided to give him a bit of pathos which gave a poignant air to the proceedings. Bugs as usual is great, rascally, smart, arrogant yet very likable and also here I thought he was quite cute especially as a baby. I can not write without mentioning Mel Blanc. He adds such a lot to these cartoons, and as always he is superb. Same with Arthur Q. Bryan, whose voice work makes Elmer even more endearing.Overall, a wonderful cartoon, and one of Clampett's best. 10/10 Bethany Cox

ccthemovieman-1 Wow, this was a strange feeling to watch this cartoon near the end of 2007. The animated short was made almost 65 years ago and deals with Elmer Fudd being transported by God to the future: the year 2000, which probably seemed far, far away to audiences in the theater back then. Now, here we are almost another decade later.Anyway, Elmer suddenly finds himself "all winkled" and "gway," still in his hunter's outfit and sitting under a tree. He sees a newspaper headline that claims "Smellovision Replaces Television." Hey, I've seen today's programs and that prediction has pretty much come true!Even better is when Bugs pops out of his hole nearby and has a white goatee - hey, he's in style!!! Who knew back in 1944? "What's up, prune face?" he asks old-man Elmer.Bugs may need a cane to walk with his bad hip and limp, but he's still a wise-guy. Mel Blanc voicing Bugs as an old man is a hoot, too.Time is reversed in the second half of the cartoon when Bugs - supposedly on his death bed - relives old times with Elmer, beginning when the latter was baby crawling along the ground with diapers and a popgun, looking for "Bugsy."

Lee Eisenberg On this, what would have been Mel Blanc's 99th birthday, I wanted to talk about one of his many accomplishments as a voice artist. In the Termite Terrace crowd's first look into the future - preceding "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century" - the unseen God takes Elmer Fudd into the 21st century to see whether or not he can ever catch Bugs Bunny. I just found it neat to see what they expected the 21st century to look like. For example, Smellevision makes television obsolete (but Carl Stalling denies that it'll work). Surely we can forgive these various predictions for not envisioning the Internet or anything like that.So, while the most important part may be the memory of the first time that Elmer chased Bugs when they were infants, my favorite part was seeing their joke prediction. So I consider "The Old Grey Hare" worth seeing. Available in the documentary "Bugs Bunny Superstar".Smellevision. It sounds kind of like John Waters's use of Odorama in "Polyester".

WendyOh! This one makes me laugh. True, it's not a Chuck Jones, who many consider the master of the genre, but it's right up there at the top.Elmer Fudd is probably my favorite foil to bugs, and here he is brimming with pathos. His stutter is as prominent as his brow, and the script for this is astounding. Whomever wrote these little 'cartoons' hopefully moved on to great things, because they are better than most films made today! Well worth your time.
