Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Robert Reynolds This is a Bugs Bunny short produced by Warner Brothers. There will be spoilers ahead:This is a Bugs Bunny short with a one shot nemesis, a Texas oilman whose temper rivals Yosemite Sam's. The short starts out on a series of signs which play off one another (Deepinaharta TX, for example) with the last, Deepinahola TX, pointing down to Bugs's hole. An incredibly long stretch limo driving down the highway carries the oilman and he's heard calling his driver ("long distance" through an operator switchboard in the middle of the limo). The oilman orders his driver, a silent cowboy named Maverick, to stop the car, as there's a hole on his property "ain't a-gushin' oil outen it!", which is impossible in Texas.Maverick dutifully stops and gets on a motor scooter to drive to the passenger compartment to get his boss and they check out the hole. After an oil derrick is built by Maverick, Bugs comes out and has words with the oilman and the battle of wits is joined. Silly oilman apparently hasn't seen any Bugs cartoons or he'd get back in his limo and leave.Bugs gets the better of the oilman repeatedly and then sends Maverick down the hole after Bugs. That doesn't work at all, so the oilman goes down, not realizing that Bugs is impersonating Maverick even when Maverick runs up to him in the hole.After the ground is literally packed with dynamite, the oilman does something incredibly silly which leads to a thoroughly hilarious and improbable ending, anywhere but Texas, that is.This short is available on the Looney Toons Golden Collection, Volume 5 DVD and is well worth getting. Most recommended.

TheLittleSongbird While not the best of the canon, Oily Hare is a fun and worthwhile Looney Tunes. The animation is colourful and vibrant with interesting character designs, and the music is fun and authentic. The dialogue is great and filled with clever puns, while the sight gags are funny and the story doesn't fall into the trap of being predictable. The ending is also effective, and Bugs and the Texan are fun individually and together, coupled with superb voice work from Mel Blanc. The cartoon is a little too fast at times but overall, it is a very good and perhaps under-seen cartoon.8/10 Bethany Cox

ccthemovieman-1 Wow, the puns and the parodies, etc., are in full bloom right off the bat in this takeoff of Texas and it's oilmen and all their money.Bugs' even has his own address: "Deepinhola, Texas." Down there, in his semi-fancy hole in the ground, Bugs is first seen singing and playing the banjo. Here are some of his lyrics to the famous song "Home On The Range:""Oh, give me a home, where the billionaires roam, and the oil and the cattlemen play"With their gushing oil wells and their gushing hotels, and count up their money all day......"Well, you get the idea: this is oil country and tons of money The first real sign of that when we soon see the longest limousine in history roll up and we get the two other main characters of this story: two small dudes: the billionaire oil man and his chauffeur "Maverick."Since, as the little oil man states, there shouldn't be a hole in Texas that isn't gushing oil, they see Bugs' hole in the ground and want to convert that to an oil well. That's the theme of this story, and you know Bugs is not going to allow that!The oil man, in essence, was Yosemite Sam without the beard: same Mel Blanc voice, same stupid, obnoxious character and same foil for Bugs. The ending was good, with Bugs explaining to us how this improbable thing we see could happen.

smicalef In this decent Bob McKimson short, Bugs' hole is mistaken for a oil well in Texas by a rich Texan and his mute sidekick.One of the strengths of this short is the pantomime of the sidekick, Maverick. A decent character that could have been brought back on occasion, like Mugsy.Definite must see if you never have. 8/10
