His Hare-Raising Tale

 I. Freleng, His Hare-Raising Tale, USA 1951


Another first, this time Bugs hosts his first clip show. We also met Bugs' nephew Clyde (unnamed here though).

The first segment is Baseball Bugs (1946) in which Bugs recalls his stint in the major leagues, which segues into his turn in Vaudeville in Stage Door Cartoon (1944). There was more money in boxing, however, and that brings us to Rabbit Punch (1948). 

Bugs also talks about his time as a test pilot in Falling Hare (1943). When his nephew points out that Bugs has done everything but go to the Moon, Bugs corrects him with Haredevil Hare (1948).


Pretty good, and the framing wraparound is fine.
