Watch Haredevil Hare For Free

Don't Believe the Hype

Absolutely brilliant

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This is the Looney Tunes cartoon to introduce Marvin the Martian, who I personally feel is an underrated Looney Tunes character. It isn't the best cartoon he has starred in, I slightly prefer Hare-Way to the Stars, but Haredevil Hare is one of his better cartoons. It was also delightful to see Bugs again, a genuine favourite of mine- I love Bugs because of his unique personality, the fact that he is somewhat arrogant and crafty really adds to his character. Mel Blanc is a little subdued compared to other Looney Tunes cartoons, where he literally lets rip, but he is still terrific as always. That's not all, the animation is wonderful, particularly the stunning galactic backgrounds, and the music is a delight. Add some interesting sight gags and some very funny dialogue, and you have a simply great cartoon. Overall, just terrific. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is the cartoon that introduced one of my favourite Loony Tunes characters; Marvin the Martian, although we don't learn his name just yet.Bugs Bunny is lured into a rocket which will take him to the moon. Once there he expects to be alone but is soon joined by a strange creature from Mars who has gone there in order to destroy the Earth using his "Uranium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator". When Bugs takes his device Marvin summons his strange green dog-like creature to retrieve it. After a bit of word play the dog lets Bugs keep the device but he returns it to Marvin... only to detonate it before it can be used against the Earth.This was a fun cartoon, Marvin is brilliantly designed; dressed almost like a Roman centurion he has a black sphere for a head which has two large eyes but no other visible features. Voiced by Mel Blanc, he is much calmer than other Loony Tunes characters, even when he is very angry he doesn't raise his voice. I thought he was a great character when I watched these cartoons as a child and still think he is funny when watching as an adult.

...Except he would not be called that for a few years!Anyhow, this is one good cartoon! This cartoon is very impressive; it has a space rocket and a trip to the moon featured more than ten years before these things existed! If you watch the cartoon you will see what I mean. The only way you can tell that this cartoon was made before the famous trip made by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin etc is because at the beginning there is a newspaper saying "Scientists Sent To Launch First Rocket To Moon" at the beginning of the episode. As well as all this good stuff about the cartoon, we have a good performance from Bugs Bunny, the first appearance of Marvin (who has an unfamiliar voice here), the first appearance of K-9 (who in ways is better than Marvin here), good plotting and good animation.As I have mentioned before, a newspaper saying, "Scientists Sent To Launch First Rocket To Moon" to start off the cartoon. We then come to see the "eager" volunteer. Bugs Bunny is being dragged along by three men, crying out that he does not want to do this mission. Eager? Not likely! However, when he sees carrots being piled into the big spaceship, Bugs changes his mind and runs ahead to have some carrots. He is in for a surprise, especially when he lands on the moon...I recommend this to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny, anyone who likes Marvin (and who would not mind his voice being different) and old WB cartoons. Enjoy "Haredevil Hare"! :-)

Here we meet for the first time, that lovable mouthless Martian, Marvin, only back then, he was known as Commander X2. He also has a green eared dog named K9 who assists him. In this first of many attempts to "blow up the earth" with the "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulatoah", X2 is thwarted by heroic Bugs, who didn't want to go to the moon in the first place, but oh, aren't we glad he did???!!!
