Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES, but it's an accurate description for BILL OF HARE, apparently the fourth of five theatrically-released Looney Tunes featuring the Tasmanian Devil. Though Taz manages to scuttle a large freighter ship, he seems to make no impression upon a semi-truck and three speeding trains. Even a moose tracks over this Devil, under Bugs Bunny's paws-on guidance. Speaking of Bugs, rabbits seems to be a staple in TD's diet. Besides sharing two of the Rich People Party 2016 U.S. Presidential Nominee's initials, it's worth noting that Taz primarily communicates through angry rants of gibberish--just like his 21st Century Doppelganger. Whether it's Pepe LePew, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Pete Puma, Foghorn Leghorn, or Taz cast as the Trumpster, Warner Bros.' roster of Animated Shorts Seers foresaw most of America's upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti and used ALL of these characters (but NEVER Bugs Bunny!) as stand-ins personifying aspects of Mr. T's darkly felonious psyche.
TheLittleSongbird I am a big Looney Tunes fan, and have been for the longest time. I saw Bill of Hare as a big fan of Bugs Bunny, if not so much Taz, and I thought it was amusing and decent. The story is somewhat slight, the conclusion while very amusing thanks to Bugs is not the best there is and probably the weakest part story-wise of the cartoon and Taz while he is good is bland in comparison to Bugs. Bugs however is wonderful, arrogant, insane and zany yet always likable, he really helps give Bill of Hare muster. The animation is very nice especially in the colours and backgrounds, and Taz doesn't have that distracting inconsistency of turning from brown to grey like he can do in some of his cartoons which I liked. The music is quirky and lively too, and while the cartoon is more sight-gag based the dialogue has a lot of wit and cleverness about it, and the sight gags are often hilarious especially I agree the turn handle turning into a truck which was by far the cartoon's most imaginative sight gag. All in all, a decent but kind of unexceptional cartoon at the same time. 7/10 Bethany Cox
Lee Eisenberg Previously, Bugs Bunny had ended up unexpectedly in the Tasmanian Devil's domain, but this time Taz gets brought to Bugs's land. As always, Taz has an appetite for everything, especially rabbit, but has no way of eating Bugs. Somehow, Bugs makes all his nemeses forget that they're enemies! I guess that just about every Taz cartoon has pretty much the same plot, and there were in fact a limited number of Taz cartoons. But I always love how the Australian omnivore's appetite always gets the better of him. Maybe there's nothing special about "Bill of Hare", but it's certainly fun to watch. I'm sure that you'll like it.
Robert Reynolds It's Close Encounters For the Third Time and, if anything, Taz comes off even worse this time. I guess his taste for rabbit is exceptionally pronounced. Anyhow, the jokes are more sight gag oriented than verbal here, although the close is very amusing. Taz is really all too limited a character in these cartoons to really be a good foil for The Rabbit. Good cartoon and worh watching but not the best.
