Hillbilly Hare

 Robert McKimson, Hillbilly Hare, USA 1950


Yeah, for a good while America was obsessed with hillbillies. From Lil' Abner to the Ma and Pa Kettle, America seemed to fixate on the backwoods folks, usually in a comedic setting. This would prove to be no different.


Bugs is taking a vacation in the Ozarks when he runs afoul of Pumpkinhead and Curt Martin. The two cousins try to feud with Bugs and they both learn why this is a bad idea. 


Bugs is in his element here and the final swing dance he unleashes on the cousins is a masterpiece of timing.
