'''''[[The Tortoise and the Hare''']]'' is a [[The Golden Age of Animation|1935]] [[Silly Symphonies]] short, 49th in that series, and is a milestone short in the [[Classic Disney Shorts]] lineup.
 
The story is a basic adaptation of Aesop's classic fable, centered around the cocky speedster Max Hare, competing with the friendly but slow-witted Toby Tortoise. However, what sets this short apart is not it's bare-bone story but rather what it introduced into cartoons. The characters, while simplistic and one-dimensional, were a fairly good advancement as far as characterization went for Disney shorts of the time period. Another important aspect the short helped pioneer was the use of faster speed in cartoons, setting an example that would be copied by the [[Looney Tunes]] studio in some of their own cartoons. Another thing this short is notable for is Max Hare being the inspiration for the character of [[Bugs Bunny]], as claimed by [[Tex Avery]].
