Hare We Go

About This Movie

Hare We Go (1951) is a quirky short that finds Bugs Bunny taking on the role of Columbus' mascot, which is a pretty odd pairing if you think about it. The animation is classic Warner Bros., with that zany energy and playful humor. The pacing is brisk, keeping you entertained throughout its runtime, peppered with Bugs’ iconic wit and charm. It’s kind of fascinating how they weave humor into a historical setting, making it feel both light-hearted and absurd. There's a certain charm in the hand-drawn animation that gives it a nostalgic feel, and even though the director might be unknown, the distinctively cheeky performances of Bugs shine through, making it a fun watch for animation aficionados.

Hare We Go has seen a few releases over the years, primarily on VHS and DVD compilations. However, original prints are a bit harder to come by, which adds to its allure for collectors. The film’s unique blend of historical context and Bugs Bunny’s antics has cultivated a niche interest among animation enthusiasts, making it a noteworthy title within the Warner Bros. catalog.
