Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Tayloriona
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Haven Kaycee
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Chuck Jones's 'Mississippi Hare' is a fun cartoon which never quite rises above merely good. Although it looks lovely (never more so than in its controversial opening scenes of the cotton fields), 'Mississippi Hare' feels like Jones's attempt to emulate Friz Freleng's Bugs Bunny/Yosemite Sam cartoons by way of a thinly veiled Southern version of Sam named Colonel Shuffle. This makes 'Mississippi Hare' seem like an unnecessary foray into imitation by one of the most inventive film makers of all time. Nevertheless, 'Mississippi Hare' moves at a fair lick and features some great gags amongst its more predictable moments. It doesn't scale the heights of Freleng's best Bugs and Sam cartoons but 'Mississippi Hare' is a fun, entertaining short nevertheless.

I understand that "Mississippi Hare" got censored for showing black people picking cotton, but most of the cartoon has nothing to do with that. In fact, most of the cartoon nearly made me die laughing, as Bugs Bunny plays every kind of trick to avoid getting shot by an aggressive riverboat gambler whom he beats at poker. While some scenes set up what's about to happen, others are sped up so that you can't wait to see what's going to happen! Yes, once again, someone tries to go after Bugs, but Bugs is somehow always ten steps ahead. You gotta love it. And as for that scene where Bugs dresses up as a Southern belle...well, seeing a woman like that, I might have easily fallen for any trick!

Mississippi Hare is one of the many Bugs Bunny shorts that been censored or banned.Takes place on a Steamboat in the Mississippi River.Bugs Bunny ended up on the Steamboat after he got in the cotton mill and stored with the other cotton. To avoid getting kicked out of the boat. He disguised himself as a rich guy and able to blend in with the crowd.He find the gambling room with a Colonel dude who never loses. He challenges him for a game of poker for 100 dollars worth. After Bugs beat-ed the Colonel, the Colonel gets mad and threw out the whole cartoon the Colonel wanted to get even with Bugs.This short is good. I don't think it deserves to be titled as a banned cartoon. Reason why it was banned is because it had black people picking cotton as a parody to slavery. And a part with the Colonel's face darken after a cigar explosion.I'm not black so I didn't find this cartoon to be offensive. It doesn't seem too racist either. But everyone would have their own opion on this cartoon. I don't know if it'll ever get released on a collection of Banned Looney Tunes. At the moment you're able to see off of internet searches.

I'm a sucker for banned cartoons but this one doesn't seem to be as racist or otherwise offensive as some others I've seen.Bugs is mistakenly taken for cotton by some cottonpluckers (who, as you would expect, appear to be black), and finds himself back on a boat cruising the Mississippi.Obviously, Bugs doesn't have a ticket but with some changing of clothes everybody thinks he's some rich hot-shot. He wins a poker match against a colonel and then gets involved in a fight with him, and as always a couple of changes in his wardrobe do the trick.There's a little joke in there concerning Uncle Tom's Cabin but it's all not too serious as I'm pondering why this one has been and continues to be banned for so long.The cartoon itself isn't anything special if you'd ask me: 5/10.
