Long-Haired Hare

Having just got the "Loony Tunes Golden Collection"(which i HIGHLY recommend, by the way), I'm going to try to comment on most if not all of the cartoons individually. As such the starting statement might seem redundant for those whom read multiple reviews of them, for this i apologize.

Bugs finds a new enemy in Opera singer,Giovanni Jones, when his banjo playing disgruntles the guy. Giovanni gets the first few punches in, but Bugs pays him back in spades later that night. Very funny. The DVD has commentary by Historian Micheal Barrier on this short.

DVD Extras: Disk 1: an introduction by Chuck Jones; The Boy of Termite Terrice part 1; clips from the films "Two Guys from Texas" and "My Dream is Yours", both with Bugs cameos; Bridging sequences for an episode of "the Bugs Bunny show"; the Astro Nuts audio recording session; 2 vintage trailers; "Blooper Bunny: Bugs Bunny 51st and a half anniversary" with optional commentary with writer Greg Ford & stills gallery

This short is just hilarious! I love the way Bugs wreaks his revenge on the stuffy opera singer by making him sing high notes until he brings the concert hall down on top of him. Bugs's conducting technique is amazing! And he pulls out his banjo for the finishing touch. Absolute perfection. Chuck Jones directed some wonderful shorts, but this is my favorite of the ones I've seen so far.

Long Haired-Hare may be the only cartoon short with the distinction of incorporating a hilarious, epic lesson in harmonic physics as a climatic punch-line.

Here Bugs takes his revenge on an opera singer named Giovanni Jones and does so with hilarious consequences. The last few minutes are absolutely priceless and one of my all time favourite endings in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Mel Blanc is brilliant as Bugs and Nicolai Shutorov gives a bravura singing performance as Giovanni(though when I first saw this cartoon I could've sworn it was Nelson Eddy). The animation is wonderful, the music is a joy, the gags come by thick and fast and there are a lot of them. In case you are wondering, when Bugs is walking between the orchestra and the members are whispering "Leopold", that is a reference to Leopold Stokowski. Overall, this is a real jewel for Looney Tunes and opera fans and I am both. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I love the bugs vs Elmer opera cartoons. My two year old daughter loves them too which means I have seen this about 30 times. This one of the ones I still like to watch but if splitting hairs I'd say not as good as what's opera doc or the rabbit of Seville. Enjoy
