Really Surprised!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

"Bugs Bunny", "Elmer Fudd", and caricatures of Leopold Stokowski, Gregory Peck, Ray Milland, Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Carmen Miranda, Lauren Bacall.Copyright 20 December 1946 by the Vitaphone Corp. Merrie Melodies (Bugs Bunny Special) Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc. U.S. release: 1 November 1947 (sic). 1 reel. 7 minutes.COMMENT: Prices have climbed a bit since we visited Ciro's for Hollywood Steps Out. Dinner at the Macrumbo is $600, but small down payments are accepted. Although Steve Schneider likes this one, selecting it as both a Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd "best", I would not give it such a high rating. The spot gags (Milland paying for his drink with a typewriter and receiving three miniature typewriters for change; Sinatra drinking himself into a glass tumbler; Bugs imitating Groucho opposite Elmer's Harpo; and what is the point of the gag with Gregory Peck - or is it supposed to be Tyrone Power in The Razor's Edge?) are not all that funny. But Bugs eventually does get to dine with Bogey and Baby and in the meantime dances up a storm in a nice Carmen Miranda take-off. The rabbit is full of his usual vitality, and we like his snappy white tie and tails. Fudd has some "waughable" business too including a quick-witted trick with a mirror.

Man how I loved this Looney Tunes cartoon. The animation is excellent, colourful, fluid and lively, and the music is dynamic and expressive. The dialogue is witty and moves fast, the story doesn't fall into the trap of being predictable and the sight gags are consistently impressive. Both Bugs and Elmer are great foils for each other, and Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan both do superb jobs with the vocals. It is the celebrity caricatures that made Slick Hare so entertaining, what a delight to see all those famous faces- Gregory Peck, Ray Milland, Carmen Miranda, Groucho Marx, Frank Sinatra, Sydney Greestreet, Leopold Stokowski, Lauren Bacall and especially Humphrey Bogart. Overall, hugely entertaining and definitely recommended. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is absolutely hilarious!!... It is my favorite BB cartoon. Bogie,Groucho, Ray Milland....its fabulous. Then hiding in Carmen Miranda's hat followed by the dance. Priceless. The fact that a cartoon character can provide laughs like this is living proof of the talent the creators had. If you want to see the essential "wise-guy" that was in essence the character itself, this is the one to see. This, along with the cartoon in which he is offered the "oscar", shows that this was one that played in the big-leagues. It also provides a little bit of a history lesson for the younger generations. It shows the "star power" that was in place at that time...and a mixture of comedians, dramatic actors and musical entertainers.

Directed by Friz Freleng, "Slick Hare" is an excellent Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd cartoon. Freleng didn't like to use Elmer Fudd in these cartoons, but his handling of Elmer is well done here; Elmer doesn't seem as big of an idiot as he usually does.The main thrust of the plot involves Humphrey Bogart (in a fine caricature, I might add) demanding Elmer, a waiter at the Mocrumbo, to bring him an order of fried rabbit or else! And as Elmer tries to catch Bugs Bunny, the gags are plentiful! Bugs' Groucho Marx disguise (as well as his walk, cigar, and one-liner joke) is simply hilarious. He also engages in quite a lively conga dance. At the opening of this short, Leopold Stokowski (another excellent caricature) conducts a jukebox playing an ultra-quick rendition of "We're in the Money" while all the patrons briefly crowd the dance floor, applaud, and dash back to their tables. Bugs disguises himself as a waiter and orders a few pies from Elmer, who gets them splatted in his face; Elmer catches on to Bugs' tricks and throws the next pie, missing Bugs and hitting the perturbed Bogart, who calmly asks Elmer, "Why did you hit me in the face with a coconut custard pie with whipped cream?" "Slick Hare" is a winning cartoon with plenty of laughs. Also, watch for a few cameo caricatures of Sydney Greenstreet, Frank Sinatra, and Lauren Bacall!
