Charles M. Jones, the Hasty Hare, USA 1952
The return of an old favorite, Marvin the Martian, here called Commander of the X2. Marvin has been tasked to retrieve an Earth creature, so guess who gets picked?
Marvin proves to be a worthy foe here. This was only his second ever short and the character's motivation would remain set in stone for the rest of his tenure. He's smarter than Elmer but not as quick tempered as Sam. There aren't any schemes though; no, he's pretty straight dealing with what he wants and what he is going to do.
A good short but one may find Marvin annoying or at least less memorable than Bugs' other stars.
