His Hare Raising Tale

About This Movie

So, 'His Hare Raising Tale' is a neat little piece from 1951, featuring Bugs Bunny as he recounts some wild stories to his nephew, Clyde. It's fun how it pulls from earlier shorts like 'Baseball Bugs' and 'Stage Door Cartoon', making it feel like a nostalgic throwback while also showcasing classic animation styles. The pacing is breezy, keeping that light-hearted comedy vibe, typical of the era. The practical effects, especially in the action sequences, show the craftsmanship behind these animated shorts. You can almost feel the camaraderie between Bugs and Clyde, which really adds warmth to the humor. It’s not just a collection of tales; it feels like a bonding experience in the cartoon world.

This short has had a few releases over the years, primarily in compilation sets featuring Bugs Bunny's greatest hits. It's not particularly scarce, but copies in good condition can be a bit harder to find, especially if you're looking for original prints. Collector interest tends to center around its place in Bugs Bunny's filmography, as it showcases the character's charm and wit in a uniquely engaging way.
