Bill of Hare Audience Reviews

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) And he is the one trying to have Bugs for dinner in this 6-minute cartoon from over 50 years ago. This was already done in the later stages of the cartoon boom that started in the 1930s. And Taz basically does a fine job as, in contrast to the likes of Elmer, he constantly manages to catch Bugs and get him ready to have dinner "with" him. But Bugs would not be Bugs if he wasn't able to always get away safely. I always liked the Tasmanian Devil as a character, but sadly, the jokes in this one here are not really on par with Warner Bros' best from previous decades (including other works from McKimson starring Blanc) and Taz alone cannot really carry this short film either. Not recommended.
utgard14 I'm not really a fan of the Tasmanian Devil. I'm kind of surprised he's lasted as long as he has. He's a pretty one-note character that has no personality. Cool character design, though. So they put him with Bugs, who has sparred with all types with usually good results. But even Bugs can't make Taz interesting. The plot to this, such as it is, finds Taz determined to eat Bugs and being outsmarted repeatedly. It's not great. Bugs is amusing but the gags aren't strong and, like I said, Taz is lame. The animation is crude, too. By the way, the title makes no sense. Judging by the opening title graphic and the only phrase that I can think of, it's supposed to be a pun on 'bill of sale.' Usually their puns are more clever than that and make sense, like 'hare tonic' instead of 'hair tonic' and so on. 'Bill of hare' is a stupid title. It's a watchable cartoon for fans but nothing special.
TheLittleSongbird I am a big Looney Tunes fan, and have been for the longest time. I saw Bill of Hare as a big fan of Bugs Bunny, if not so much Taz, and I thought it was amusing and decent. The story is somewhat slight, the conclusion while very amusing thanks to Bugs is not the best there is and probably the weakest part story-wise of the cartoon and Taz while he is good is bland in comparison to Bugs. Bugs however is wonderful, arrogant, insane and zany yet always likable, he really helps give Bill of Hare muster. The animation is very nice especially in the colours and backgrounds, and Taz doesn't have that distracting inconsistency of turning from brown to grey like he can do in some of his cartoons which I liked. The music is quirky and lively too, and while the cartoon is more sight-gag based the dialogue has a lot of wit and cleverness about it, and the sight gags are often hilarious especially I agree the turn handle turning into a truck which was by far the cartoon's most imaginative sight gag. All in all, a decent but kind of unexceptional cartoon at the same time. 7/10 Bethany Cox
Lee Eisenberg Previously, Bugs Bunny had ended up unexpectedly in the Tasmanian Devil's domain, but this time Taz gets brought to Bugs's land. As always, Taz has an appetite for everything, especially rabbit, but has no way of eating Bugs. Somehow, Bugs makes all his nemeses forget that they're enemies! I guess that just about every Taz cartoon has pretty much the same plot, and there were in fact a limited number of Taz cartoons. But I always love how the Australian omnivore's appetite always gets the better of him. Maybe there's nothing special about "Bill of Hare", but it's certainly fun to watch. I'm sure that you'll like it.
