Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . but Bugs Bunny's idea of recreation during the 1940s Warner Bros. Looney Tune THE GREY HOUNDED HARE seems to be Sex on a Stick. Bugs apparently doesn't get out much, because the mechanical rabbit at a dog track strikes him as the epitome of "female pulchritude." If it were up solely to Bugs, the phrase "breeding like rabbits" would be synonymous with "multiplying like unicorns." Of course, Bugs' dream boat cruises around the canine raceway like a slot car. Bugs mounts her split inner rail several times, seemingly willing to do the deed in full view of the grandstand crowd. However, since the NC-17 movie rating wasn't around in the 1940s, Bugs is necessarily thwarted at every turn. (As the animation department at Warner delighted in clever wordplay referencing previous, usually outside, works, they surely would come up with a snappier title for this entry were it released today: LARS AND THE REAL BUNNY or BROWN BUNNY DOWN are a couple that come readily to mind.)

slymusic "The Grey Hounded Hare" is one of the weaker Bugs Bunny cartoons directed by Bob McKimson. The chubby Bugs causes a great deal of mischief at a greyhound racetrack. His objective: to prevent the canines from chasing a mechanical female rabbit, with whom he becomes infatuated(!).Highlights from this cartoon? Not very many. The racetrack commentator offers some good puns about each dog's name as he introduces the canines before the race begins. Bugs jumps onto one particular dog's back and covers its eyes, causing it to run in all directions and crash into a wall. And at the end of this short, Bugs receives a severe electrical shock from kissing the mechanical rabbit. (Honestly, something is truly wrong with Bugs if he insists on protecting & pursuing this mechanical device and never figuring it out!) "The Grey Hounded Hare" is a cartoon with plenty of action and violence, but most of the harm is inflicted on the innocent canines. Considering how greyhounds are abused, beaten, left for dead, and generally mistreated, those of you who own greyhounds will probably wish to skip this cartoon.

bob the moo Woken from his sleep by all the disturbance, bugs comes out of his hole to find a grey hound race about to take place. He goes in to place a bet and settles down to watch the race. However, when he sees that a pretty young rabbit is used to make the dogs run, Bugs has no choice but to step in and save the maiden.From the very moment that Bugs looks into the mouth of one of the dogs to see what the best bet for winner is, you can see what the problem is going to be with this cartoon - no foil for Bugs to work offa. And indeed as the cartoon gets going, that is exactly the problem. The action is still quite amusing but it needs to have a focal point alongside Bugs himself and the main greyhound just doesn't cut it as a character. Despite this the cartoon still works in a basic way and is pretty funny for the most part.Bugs is as good as he always is but at times you feel the need for someone decent for him to outsmart; somehow it isn't the same to see him tricking a group of anonymous dogs. When he does go one to one, the dog is just too unmemorable to really make a good companion for Bugs and it stutters the cartoon a bit.Despite this, Bugs is Bugs and he is still worth watching no matter who he's with! The cartoon is far from his best and really needed a better character for the lead dog to have but it still gets by with some nice laughs and the fact that it's still a Bugs Bunny cartoon!

Akbar Shahzad (rapt0r_claw-1) THE GREY HOUNDED HARE is unfunny, basically everything Robert McKimson tries to make this cartoon succeed goes wrong. Do not we all love Bugs Bunny? Of course we do. But he just doesn't seem himself in this cartoon. I am at a loss as to why this film doesn't work, I don't know why it is quite barren and humorless.The story is one of the biggest negatives. Bugs likes a mechanical dog race track hare, and attempts to save her from the dogs that chase her. Since the object of his aggression is constantly running, it just doesn't seem like the sort of situation for a character like our beloved rabbit. He is a practical strategist, who sits down with his adversary and outwits him. What is there to outwit in this film? The dogs are running after the rabbit, and they have no intention whatsoever of stopping mid-race. Plus their personalities are nonexistent, there's no way to differentiate between the contestants. You are not sure whether they're smart or dumb. It's a useless situation for Bugs Bunny.I have some serious complaints about the direction by McKimson. The guys from Termite Terrace are mostly so impeccably precise when it comes to detail. McKimson just didn't seem to care. Before the race begins, the announcer introduces us to each contestant canine, ready to run in their pen, the doors soon to be opened. Since these are portraits of the dogs, the features and colors are drastically different from one to the other, though you can't recognize a distinct breed. This is a strong point. The close-ups are good. You know the names beforehand. But when the race begins, the commentator names the dogs as they pass by; and lo and behold, the names may be different, but all the dogs except for a big ferocious one are identical, rust-red whippet-like dogs! The whippet is a miniature but speedy version of the greyhound. In fact only one of the dogs in the introduction was similar. Why is this so? I am horrified.The animation seems a bit primitive, and there's not much I have to say about it. A plus point is good layouts: The kennels and the stands are both detailed and accurate. Not that much above your average Warner Bros. short film, however. And as another note, the ending is pretty useless. Overall, the attempts at slapstick fall flat on their faces inexplicably. If you have something better to do (you probably will) turn the sound off and wait for the next cartoon for seven minutes when you see the title. It's not worth it.
