A Wild Hare: Difference between revisions

The short was nominated for the 1940 [[Academy Award]], but lost out to an [[MGM]] [[Harman and Ising]] short, "The Milky Way". This short also made it as a runner-up on [[The 50 Greatest Cartoons]] list. It also made it onto ''[[The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes]]'' list.

 

 

* [[Aside Glance]]

* [[Bowdlerization]]: In the original version, during Bugs' game of "Guess Who?" with Elmer, Elmer's second guess was "Carole Lombard." Carole Lombard was a blond, comic actress of the 1930s and 1940s (a bit like [[Saturday Night Live|Amy Poehler]] in appearance and [[Deadpan Snarker|deadpan snarkery]]) who died in a plane crash in 1942. In the re-release of this short, "Carole Lombard" was replaced with "Barbara Stanwyck."

* [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]]:

{{quote|'''Bugs''': "Now uh...don't go spreadin' this around but uh...confidentially...I AM THE WABBIT!!!"}}

* [[Smelly Skunk]]: When Elmer catches a skunk in his rabbit trap instead of Bugs, he walks right up to Bugs and proudly brags about it, before slowly realizing that he's holding a skunk.

* [[Stock Animal Diet]]:
