StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . but Bugs Bunny's idea of recreation during the 1940s Warner Bros. Looney Tune THE GREY HOUNDED HARE seems to be Sex on a Stick. Bugs apparently doesn't get out much, because the mechanical rabbit at a dog track strikes him as the epitome of "female pulchritude." If it were up solely to Bugs, the phrase "breeding like rabbits" would be synonymous with "multiplying like unicorns." Of course, Bugs' dream boat cruises around the canine raceway like a slot car. Bugs mounts her split inner rail several times, seemingly willing to do the deed in full view of the grandstand crowd. However, since the NC-17 movie rating wasn't around in the 1940s, Bugs is necessarily thwarted at every turn. (As the animation department at Warner delighted in clever wordplay referencing previous, usually outside, works, they surely would come up with a snappier title for this entry were it released today: LARS AND THE REAL BUNNY or BROWN BUNNY DOWN are a couple that come readily to mind.)

TheLittleSongbird As a huge Looney Tunes fan, I re-visited The Grey-Hounded Hare after seeing it a few times as a kid and completely forgetting about it, and I liked it. The story is rather standard and the lead dog while not a complete dud I agree didn't strike me as memorable. However, Bugs is great as always, likable but with a bit of arrogance about him. The animation with good colours and backgrounds and decently drawn characters is quite good, and the attention to visual detail is evident. The music is as quirky and energetic as I like it, the dialogue is witty and fresh and the pace is solid. Mel Blanc's voice work throughout is superb. Overall, above decent. 8/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Robert McKimson's 'The Grey Hounded Hare' is a really lovely cartoon. Bright and colourful, it pits Bugs Bunny against a whole racetrack full of greyhounds as he attempts to save the female mechanical rabbit they are all chasing. Warren Foster's script is great, filled with knowingly dreadful puns involving the greyhounds' unusual names and a great running commentary during the race section. Bugs rids himself of the majority of the dogs at the halfway mark but is left with the tough No. 7 who keeps fighting to the last. McKimson directs the whole thing with aplomb, making Bugs an aggressive and determined character who, in the end, is as gullible as those he dupes, falling in love with a mechanical rabbit who administers violent electric shocks to anyone who gets fresh! I've loved 'The Grey Hounded Hare' since I was a kid but one thing trouble me even back then. At the cartoon's climax, it genuinely appears to me that Bugs is kissing the mechanical rabbit's bottom!

Lee Eisenberg I'll admit that I don't really know anything about dog races, but you don't need to know anything thereabout to enjoy "The Grey Hounded Hare".Bugs Bunny stumbles upon a dog race, and quickly learns that the contestants don't like rabbits. But what truly riles him is the fact the dogs are chasing the female rabbit with whom he has just fallen in love (it's a robot, but he doesn't know that). So, that long-eared rascal sets about coming up with ways to stop the dogs from chasing the rabbit. That is, until the final showdown with a big bellicose dog.Maybe this isn't the best cartoon that the Looney Tunes' creative team made, but there's really nothing bad about it. And the end scene is a good lesson about the dangers of electricity.
