Now, Hare This

About This Movie

Now, Hare This is a curious little piece from 1958 that really plays around with the whole fairy tale motif. It’s got that classic Warner Bros. animation style, and the pacing feels just right for a short—quick setups and punchy gags. The Big Bad Wolf and his nephew are charmingly inept as they try to outsmart Bugs Bunny, which results in some wonderfully humorous situations. The atmosphere is light and whimsical, but there's a kind of playful tension as you watch the traps unfold. The character interactions are lively, and Bugs’ signature wit really shines through. It’s distinct in how it melds those classic fairy tale elements with the irreverence that we expect from WB, making it a fun watch for collectors who appreciate that blend.

This short has seen various releases, but original theatrical prints are becoming increasingly scarce, making it a sought-after find for those interested in Warner Bros. animation. While not the most high-profile of Bugs Bunny's escapades, its charm and comedic timing have caught the eye of dedicated collectors. Keep an eye out for any unique home video editions as they occasionally pop up at auctions, and can spark some lively discussions among enthusiasts.
