Hare Remover

Hare Remover has a lot going for it, I agree the ending is somewhat abrupt, but everything else worked for me. The animation is really good, the characters are drawn very well and the backgrounds and colours are lush. The music by Carl Stalling is rousing and bounces along nicely, and Hare Remover is filled to the brim with razor sharp dialogue and plentiful sight gags such as the mistaken identity gag and any part involving the bear. Bugs is still arrogant and rascally, Elmer is still dim-witted yet lovable and the bear is suitably ferocious. Another strong asset is the brilliant voice acting of Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan. In conclusion, maybe not quite classic status, but very funny and hugely enjoyable. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Mad scientist Elmer Fudd is trying to turn normal creatures into devilish fiends. He tries it on a dog and it has a strange effect. He sets out to trap a rabbit and Bugs Bunny intentionally takes the bait. The formula has no effect on Bugs, but it does have the same strange effect on Elmer Fudd. Bugs mistakes a bear for being Elmer's monsterous outcome.

I have never seen Elmer Fudd as the scientist type. That throws me off right away. This never feels completely right. The plot is a lot of chaos and wild twists. It is chaotic fun, but it does border on messy. There is enough fun to rise above the messiness.

Elmer Fudd is working on a devious potion to change animals into other more violent animals. When the dog he wanted to experiment on breaks free of his chains, Fudd relies on trapping Bugs Bunny and having him drink the serum. However the formula doesn't have any effects on Bugs, so the bunny gives some to Fudd instead. When a bear enters the picture, they both think the potion worked on the other. This cartoon is a tad short on the tooth plot wise and has one of the weakest non-endings I've seen from a Looney Tune short in quite some time. But all is not lost, as there are quite a few funny bits to be had.This animated short can be found on Disk 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 set.

My Grade: B-

Elmer is mixing chemicals in his little junior chemistry set "trying to make a normal character into a devilish fiend." We then see his head change in shape to a devil-like one with pointed ears. (I always suspected Fudd was a sadistic, evil punk!)

The first clever gag involves a test tube with his solution and the wild colors it turns, including plaid and barbershop rings, etc. "Rover," his experimental dog, must drink the stuff. Rover is chained up so bad this would have animal-right activists on his back in no time today. Fudd forces the liquid down the dog's throat. (Man, is this guy plain evil or what?)

When the dog freaks out and smashes through the front window and runs away, Elmer goes looking for another experimental animal. Who-know-who winds up (voluntarily) in his laboratory. And.....you know who turns the tables? Along the way, we get two cases of mistaken identity, and that turns out to be the big joke of the cartoon.

I enjoyed Bugs' line referring to the Spencer Tracy film version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Overall, this is "fair," clever in the one "identity" gag but annoying at times, too, with Fudd's abrasive and stupid laugh and carrying-on.

I wish they would bring back all the original cartoons from the past.it is not violent to me.always made me laugh 😆 🤣.
