Mississippi Hare

About This Movie

Mississippi Hare is one of those delightful Bugs Bunny shorts that captures the charm of classic animation. The pacing is just right, zipping along as Bugs finds himself on a riverboat, cleverly entangled with Col. Shuffle, the gambler with a flair for the dramatic. The humor is light and playful, with that signature Warner Bros. wit, and the animation style really shines, filled with vibrant colors and expressive character designs. The atmosphere is lively, evoking that old Southern riverboat vibe, while Bugs navigates through a series of comedic misadventures. It’s a fine example of post-war animation that balances slapstick with clever banter, showcasing the timeless appeal of its characters.

Mississippi Hare has seen various home video releases over the years, but its availability can be a bit spotty depending on the format. Some collectors hunt for the original 16mm prints or those early VHS releases, which can be quite scarce. Interest tends to fluctuate, but fans of classic animation and Bugs Bunny's hijinks often keep this short on their radar for its unique setting and engaging storyline.
