Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

tmpj For this viewer, the directors who handled Bugs Bunny best were Isadore Freleng and Robert Clampett. Art Davis did well with his one entry, and Tex Avery clocked in, but Freleng and Clampett are still best over-all.The "Mocrumbo" in "Slick Hare" is, apparently, where the stars came to be seen--which would explain why there are so many of them here. First up is Leopold Stokowski , or in this case "Leopold and his Chifafa Five" (that 'Chifafa' being taken from the lyric of the song hit of the 40s by Nat King Cole, known as "The Frim Fram Sauce"). It's hilarious to see Leopold deposit a nickel in the juke-box, and then do a pretend conductorship of the recording. Incidentally, the song played by the orchestra in that scene is "Nagasaki", composed by Harry Warren. As Carl Stalling drums up strains of "A Gal In Calico", we see Gregory Peck, cutting up a steak with a razor, Ray Milland trading in his typewriter for drinks at the bar, Sinatra being sucked up by a straw--instead of the other way around. The action finally settles on Elmer Fudd (and in this cartoon the voice is still being done by its initiator, Arthur Q. Bryan and not Mel Blanc--yet)and on Humphrey Bogart, who demands rabbit, and gives Elmer an ultimatum. There we have the scenario that sets the pace for the rest of the cartoon. We are treated to more cameo caricatures (the Marx Brothers, Sydney Greenstreet, and even a number by Carmen Miranda, whose voice is dubbed by a singer whose name I would like to know--as well as the name of the song).Bogie turns up the heat on Elmer, and the pressure builds. Elmer can't come through and fears the worst. But a turn of events in cartoon logic changes things at that very moment, and the ending will come as a pleasant surprise to anyone who has not seen the cartoon...and I would recommend that the cartoon be shown to as many as would care to view it. Certainly not the best Bugs Bunny cartoon, but one of the better ones.

ccthemovieman-1 We are at the Hollywood exclusive nightclub, "The Mocrumbo," where dinners are $600 apiece (today that translates to thousands). The entertainment: "Leopold And His Chifafa Five." Leopold is Leopold Stokowski, the conductor who seems to be a favorite of the Looney Tunes crowd.Eating a steak is either Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck; At the bar is Ray Milland in a parody of "The Lost Weekend." Using a straw for a drink is the super-skinny Frank Sinatra; Elmer Fudd is a waiter and Humphrey Bogart asks for some "fried rabbit." Humphrey slaps him around and demands a rabbit dinner. Back in the kitchen, Elmer hears the obnoxious chewing of Bugs Bunny eating a carrot. Bugs gives him the famous line from "To Have And Have Not," telling Elmer to "tell Bogie if he wants me, all he has to do is whistle."I enjoyed seeing Bugs imitating Groucho Marx; hiding in Carmen Miranda's fruit-basket hat, and doing the conga dance. The ending was kind of lame, but it was "cute" to see Bugs serving himself on a platter to Bogie's girl, Lauren Bacall.I enjoyed the rich colors in this cartoon which was included in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume Two.

RSmythe42 This is absolutely hilarious!!... It is my favorite BB cartoon. Bogie,Groucho, Ray Milland....its fabulous. Then hiding in Carmen Miranda's hat followed by the dance. Priceless. The fact that a cartoon character can provide laughs like this is living proof of the talent the creators had. If you want to see the essential "wise-guy" that was in essence the character itself, this is the one to see. This, along with the cartoon in which he is offered the "oscar", shows that this was one that played in the big-leagues. It also provides a little bit of a history lesson for the younger generations. It shows the "star power" that was in place at that time...and a mixture of comedians, dramatic actors and musical entertainers.

slymusic Directed by Friz Freleng, "Slick Hare" is an excellent Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd cartoon. Freleng didn't like to use Elmer Fudd in these cartoons, but his handling of Elmer is well done here; Elmer doesn't seem as big of an idiot as he usually does.The main thrust of the plot involves Humphrey Bogart (in a fine caricature, I might add) demanding Elmer, a waiter at the Mocrumbo, to bring him an order of fried rabbit or else! And as Elmer tries to catch Bugs Bunny, the gags are plentiful! Bugs' Groucho Marx disguise (as well as his walk, cigar, and one-liner joke) is simply hilarious. He also engages in quite a lively conga dance. At the opening of this short, Leopold Stokowski (another excellent caricature) conducts a jukebox playing an ultra-quick rendition of "We're in the Money" while all the patrons briefly crowd the dance floor, applaud, and dash back to their tables. Bugs disguises himself as a waiter and orders a few pies from Elmer, who gets them splatted in his face; Elmer catches on to Bugs' tricks and throws the next pie, missing Bugs and hitting the perturbed Bogart, who calmly asks Elmer, "Why did you hit me in the face with a coconut custard pie with whipped cream?" "Slick Hare" is a winning cartoon with plenty of laughs. Also, watch for a few cameo caricatures of Sydney Greenstreet, Frank Sinatra, and Lauren Bacall!
