"Mad as a Mars Hare" is an American cartoon from 1963, so this one is already over half a century old and it includes some of Warner Bros' greatest again in Chuck Jones, Mel Blanc and John W. Dunn, who was also really prolific back then, even if his name may not be as known as some other cartoon writers for WB. Anyway, the antagonist here is once again the Martian, a character who is not as prolific as Elmer and Sam for example, but still the films in which he appears all made it somehow famous, perhaps because of the SciFi space element. And it is somewhat entertaining. The film is perhaps at its best when the two protagonists aren't united yet and when we are introduced to them, especially the scenes with Bugs refusing to step outside the rocket. What a difference a carrot makes. But the Neanderthal scene at the end was fine too. Overall, it is a well-rounded entertaining effort and I cannot deny I have a soft spot for the Martian too. Needless to say Blanc's once again spot-on with his voice acting for the little guy here. The man's a legend. The film's a winner. Go check it out.

Marvin the Martian is surveying the Earth through his telescope when he spots a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. Sure enough, the rocket's headed his way and on board is Bugs Bunny. When Bugs crash lands, he finds Marvin is none too pleased that an Earth creature has come to "contaminate my atmosphere." This is the last appearance of Marvin the Martian in a classic era Looney Tunes short and it's an enjoyable one, if not particularly great. The gags are okay and the dialogue sometimes amusing. There's a lot of dialogue in this one, too. Good voice work from the incomparable Mel Blanc. The music is a little 'blah' and generic. The animation is nice and colorful. There's something off about the whole thing. I'll put it down to Jones having one foot out of the door, about to leave Warner Bros. The Bugs here is also more reminiscent of later Bugs than classic Bugs, too, which is part of the problem. Still, it's watchable and even fun in spots. Bugs fans should like it fine.

Being a fan of Marvin the Martian I enjoyed this short. For once he isn't trying to destroy the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, in fact in this short it is Mars being invaded by Earth.The short opens with Marvin observing the people of Earth, which he thinks are insects, through a large telescope. As he zooms in on Florida he observes what he thinks is a creature hatching, in fact it is a rocket heading straight for him. This rocket contains astro-rabbit Bugs Bunny who has been sent to claim Mars in the name of Earth. Understandably Marvin isn't too happy about this alien intruder and goes out to confront Bugs with his disintegration gun... of course it isn't Bugs that ends up getting disintegrated.Some people have said that this is too talky but I didn't mind that in fact any time Marvin talks is great as he is such a funny character, his comments about the people of Earth were hilarious.

I have read about how Warner Bros. closed the Looney Tunes department in 1963. That might have actually been a good choice, considering that they seemed to be running a little short of ideas by then. In "Mad as a Mars Hare", Bugs Bunny gets sent to Mars as an expendable astro-rabbit, but Marvin the Martian has no desire to have anyone else on his planet and starts plotting to get rid of Bugs.Whereas previous Bugs-Marvin pairings focused on Bugs's gags aimed at Marvin, this one has a little too much talk. Don't get me wrong; any Chuck Jones cartoon is a good one - at least the ones that I've seen - but it seems like they could have had more than just the characters explaining their stories. And if I may say so, I must challenge what Bugs said about Mars making Siberia look like Miami Beach. I spent last autumn in Yekaterinburg, Russia (near Siberia) and had a great time there. Everything that I've heard about Miami and it's surrounding area make it sound very undesirable. If it makes me some sort of weirdo to prefer part of Russia to part of America, then so be it.Anyway, "MAAMH" is an OK cartoon, but not great.
