Tortoise Wins by a Hare

Robert Clampett. Tortoise Wins by a Hare. USA 1943

Well we finally had a glimpse of what Bugs Bunny could be...and they decided the best follow up was the return of Cecil Turtle.

Done as a proper sequel to Tortoise Beats Hare, Bugs swears revenge.

Better, but Cecil just comes across as too smug. Bugs steals what is supposed to be a fake turtle shell/engine yet he makes it work. Bugs still loses but this time it's due to the Rabbit Mob interfering (they think Bugs is Cecil).

Just unsatisfactory, plus if Cecil hadn't told Bugs about the rocket shell/Rabbit Mob interfering he would have lost cleanly, so it seems like a poorly thought out plan.
