Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

TheLittleSongbird I adore Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny, and while I loved Forward March Hare as a kid I only like it now. I also think that the story is rather silly, the idea of not being able to tell the difference between a human and a rabbit is rather hard to swallow, and instead of the arrogant, intelligent and sharp-witted personality that he is so famous for he is rather obtuse and somewhat of a buffoon, messing things up a lot of the time and not realising. However, the animation is wonderful especially in the beautiful silhouetted opening sequence, though the fluidity and lavish colours are apparent also in the military sequences. The music score is terrific, characterful and enhances the action brilliantly, and the dialogue is fresh and witty, "So they're inducting rabbits" is just one of the jewels. Not all the gags work, but there are a fair few that do, the sequence with the eye-chart shows briefly Bugs in the persona we know and love, and Bugs knocking all the soldiers over, the sergeant exploding and Bugs running around with a baseball bat are just as effective. The Sergeant is a great character, while Mel Blanc's voice work is brilliant. All in all, decent but not great. 7/10 Bethany Cox

ccthemovieman-1 This episode reminded me of a "Sergeant Bilko" television classic in which a chimp was inducted into the army, carelessly being passed along an assembly- type line, getting through the physical and passing his way into the army. It's all way more than just a bit of a stretch, but so is this cartoon, especially since Bugs usually is a little smarter than he appears in this adventure. Of course, none of the humans are too observant, either. I mean, you can't tell the difference between a human face and that of a buck-toothed rabbit?! It takes several days before sometimes notices the "Private" has long ears and a tail and might be a bunny?In this cartoon, Bugs mistakenly gets a letter addressed to a neighbor, "B. Bonny,": and thinks it's for him, so it opens it. (A gust of wind had blown the letter out of the mailbox into Bugs' hole)The letter flying into this rabbit hole, and Bugs not being careful with what he's reading both turn out to to be his misfortune because the letter it's a "draft notice." The rest of the cartoon detail a couple of Bugs' days in the Army. Like his final scene, most of the gags were "duds."Once again, we get superlative graphics and colors with these Warner Brothers "Collection" DVDs. The opening silhouette shot was great as were the golden hues in many of the military scenes, such as the one in which they were climbing a hill. It's just beautiful artwork.

Lee Eisenberg Knowing that Bugs Bunny is usually the cleverest character in the cartoons, it's quite jarring to see him engage in the buffoonery portrayed in "Forward March Hare". True, he makes a living being irreverent, but his actions here border on the sorts of things that one would expect to see on "Gilligan's Island". But if we try to call him stupid, as a previous reviewer did, that gets countered by his super-vision.So why didn't he realize that the letter bore a slightly different name? Well, that was an honest mistake. But it does seem that he should have suspected something strange about suddenly getting a letter announcing that he's been drafted. Still, it's really funny to see him walk around with a deadpan expression, befuddling the X-ray man and getting the general angry at the sergeant.So, it's a funny cartoon, but kind of strange.

Robert Reynolds This is a very funny short which plays on a series of coincidences and misunderstandings to put Bugs Bunny in position to be inducted into the United States Army. Because I want to discuss some details, this is a spoiler warning: The short opens with an induction notice being delivered to one "B. Bonny", only the notice winds up in Bugs Bunny's hole in the ground and he mistakenly assumes it's for him. Thus, we now go off to the physical.The physical is hilarious, with reactions ranging from the nonchalant "So they're inducting rabbits" through nervous laughter to incredulous shock, as when Bugs takes the eye exam and reads the whole chart, fine print included. Bugs obviously passes the physical, because we next see him in boot camp for basic training.His Sargeant looks and sounds like the construction worker Bugs did battle with in a couple of other shorts and he fares about as well here as he did there. Bugs first causes headaches in general for the Sargeant and then gets him into hot water with a Colonel who clearly didn't care much for the Sargeant even before all the problems with Bugs develop. Bugs bowls the colonel over during drill, bathes in the colonels helmet, dresses chickens for the Officer's mess (he dresses them in tuxedos) and hammers a nail into the wall using a live shell! With each passing incident, the Sargeant loses a little more rank, until he's a private.It's at this point that the former Sargeant realizes that Bugs is a rabbit, as it slowly dawns on him that Bugs really isn't "just like all the other guys". Watching the fog start to lift on the erstwhile Sargeant's comprehension is great! A compromise of sorts gives Bugs a job at a munitions plant, with a finale that I won't spoil here. This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 4 and is well worth seeing. Recommended.
