Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was during production of this cartoon that Bugs Bunny's name originated. Designer Charles Thorson redesigned the rabbit character and labeled the model sheet "Bug's Bunny," after co-director Ben Hardaway's nickname, Bugs.
- GoofsThe human at the start of the cartoon grabs his double barrel shotgun. When he shoots at Bugs Bunny, he fires his shotgun in quick succession 7 or 8 times without reloading. He would have only been able to fire twice and then would have had to reload in order to have shot twice more, and so on. As there were self loading semi automatic shotguns at the time, the cartoonist could have easily this shotgun one barrel (and inferred that it was such a self loading semi automatic shotgun). Then it would not have been very conceivable to have had the hunter fire 7 to 8 times without reloading.
- Quotes
[impersonating a motorcycle cop]
Rabbit: Going a little fast, weren't ya, buddy? You're on the wrong side of the street, too.
[Sniffs]
Rabbit: Hmm. Intoxicated. Let's see your driver's license. Just as I thought, haven't got one. You know what this'll cost you? Thirty days... hath September, April, June, and Montana. All the rest have cold weather, except in the summer, which isn't often.

Nothing scary about this hare-y cartoon
Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.
While not one of my favourite cartoons of all time and never will be, 'Hare-Um Scare-Um' is very well made and very entertaining. It is interesting to see a proto-version of Bugs Bunny before Bugs Bunny became famous and for having a hunter who is like a more menacing version of Elmer. There's not much wrong actually in 'Hare-Um Scare-Um', it is slight on story and there's not much original in it. Having said that, there is so much to recommend.
However, the animation is very good. It's beautifully drawn, very detailed and the colours are vibrant, complete with some great expressions for particularly the rabbit.
Carl Stalling's music score is typically lushly and cleverly orchestrated, with lively and energetic rhythms, it's also beautifully synchronised with the action and gestures/expressions and even enhances the impact. All of those things Stalling was an unparalleled master at in animation, or at least in my view.
The rabbit is no Bugs, not as interesting in personality, but the character drives the action to fun effect. The hunter is suitably antagonistic and fun, there are many very funny moments (with the ending especially being a treat) and everything concerning the meat entertains and informs. Timing is lively. Mel Blanc's versatility as ever shines impeccably.
Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox
