Watch The Hasty Hare For Free

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Marvin the Martian comes to Earth and attempts to bring Bugs back to Mars with him. Doesn't work so well. Marvin's hilarious so you know you have to watch just for him. He has a little dog called K-9 that's also good for some laughs. Bugs is a hoot as usual. Brilliant voice work from Mel Blanc. Great music from Carl Stalling (and great use of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse"). The animation is beautiful with rich colors and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Love the outer space scenes. The gags and lines are funny. The climax of the short is wonderful. Another winner from Chuck Jones. Only question I have is why did they insist on using titles that made no mention or pun or anything of the Martian angle of the story? They did this in Marvin's first short, Haredevil Hare, and again here. It has no bearing on the quality of the cartoon just an odd thing I have noticed and wondered if there was some specific reason they refrained from mentioning the Martian aspect in the titles back then.

I love Looney Tunes, I love Bugs Bunny and I love Marvin the Martian, so this was a sheer delight. If I had a minor quibble, it would be the ending wasn't as strong as the rest of the cartoon, but The Hasty Hare is still hugely enjoyable. The animation is simply terrific, particularly the colourful backgrounds and on Marvin. The music is rousing, the dialogue is razor sharp, the gags all work and are delivered thick and fast, the pacing is spot on and the story is a nice one to work from. Bugs is the star of the show, but Marvin is superb and the dog is funny and a relevant character too. To top it all, Mel Blanc's vocals are brilliant. Overall, delightful. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox

This amusing Bugs Bunny cartoon sees the return of the still unnamed Marvin the Martian and his sidekick K-9 the green dog.This time instead of trying to destroy the Earth Marvin is on a mission to land, capture an Earth creature and take it back to Mars. Of course the creature he picks is Bugs Bunny. At first Bugs thinks Marvin and K-9 are trick or treating but realises this can't be right when Marvin drastically enlarges Bug's rabbit hole with a ray-gun. Bugs tries to trick his way out of the situation in a couple of ways, including persuading Marvin that K-9 is planning a mutiny. Eventually he is captured using an Acme strait-jacket ejecting bazooka. Amazingly, for an Acme product, it works as advertised and Bug's is forced to use his wits to get K-9 to release him, the tables are soon turned and the two disgruntled Martians are trussed up and Bugs is trying to fly their saucer back to Earth.I really enjoyed this although the ending is a little weak compared to the rest of the story. Marvin's voice has changed slightly here and he gets visible emotional when he is angry but this didn't make me like him or the cartoon any less.

Did you ever notice Bugs is the only Loony Tunes star big enough to have his name above the title? Maybe that's why he always gets the best villains to outsmart. Marvin, commanding Flying Saucer X-2 is ordered by Martian HDQS to bring back one live Earth creature. But since even Martians buy supplies at Acme (like the Acme disintegrating pistol and the Strait-Jacket Ejecting Bazooka) there is little chance of succeeding. Even stranger, a Martian Trumpet sounds almost exactly like Bugs Bunny singing.Soon the pointy eared Earth creature (Bugs, as if you would not have guessed) turns the tables by planting rumours of mutiny. Martian K-9 Anxious utters the one phrase that should appear in every good film: `What have I done?' (though he does so via a note). The best sequence is saved for last, as Bugs takes the control of the Flying Saucer and rearranges the entire known solar system. This has to be seen to be believed. 7 out of 10
