I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
. . . Football Fortunes with THE HASTY HARE. Infringing upon Michigan State University's "Sparty" mascot trademark in the more lax days of copyright enforcement back in the 1900s, "Marvin Martian" is indistinguishable from the East Lansing Elf trolling the sidelines during most of the Spartan Home Game Defeats. Bugs Bunny tricks Marvin into leaving Earth empty-handed during the first part of HASTY HARE, foreshadowing how the Spartans would raise the hopes of Michigan Taxpayers by making the second-ever National Football Final Four. After their 128 - 0 defeat in January, 2016, the Spartan Gridders were forced to hitch-hike back to their Wolverine State, as some of their tax subsidies were withdrawn. When Marvin and his K - 9 sidekick suit up for a second go at Bugs, they wind up tangled in their own Acme Corp. rocket-propelled strait jackets. They cannot even evade the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and a few of the more sluggish stars, as the Looney Tuners predict a string of five straight Spartan losses in the Fall of 2016 to such teams as the Universities of Indiana and Maryland.
"The Hasty Hare" is a 7.5-minute cartoon from 1952, so this one will have its 65th anniversary next year. The star here is Bugs Bunny this time and he is not against Daffy, Elmer or Sam in here, but against the Martian, a fairly popular cartoon from the Warner Bros. franchise, who was not as frequent as some of the others though. I personally like the way he looks, but this character is one of the very few cases where I am not too big on Mel Blanc's voice acting. In my opinion, his approach does not fit the character. The Martian is a pretty simple guy carrying out orders for his boss in this little movie and despite his lack of intelligence and mostly thanks to his weaponry, he manages to get Bugs on board of the space ship, but of course in the end the bunny has the last laugh. Not the audience though. There were some fine moments with Bugs getting quickly on board when he sees the armed power of the Martian and the straight jacket scene was fun too, but as a whole it wasn't really entertaining. i give it a thumbs-down.
I love Looney Tunes, I love Bugs Bunny and I love Marvin the Martian, so this was a sheer delight. If I had a minor quibble, it would be the ending wasn't as strong as the rest of the cartoon, but The Hasty Hare is still hugely enjoyable. The animation is simply terrific, particularly the colourful backgrounds and on Marvin. The music is rousing, the dialogue is razor sharp, the gags all work and are delivered thick and fast, the pacing is spot on and the story is a nice one to work from. Bugs is the star of the show, but Marvin is superb and the dog is funny and a relevant character too. To top it all, Mel Blanc's vocals are brilliant. Overall, delightful. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox
Marvin the Martian is dispatched to Earth by General MC Squared to capture and return to Mars with a specimen of life from Earth. After much trickery, Marvin and K9 manage to get Bugs onto their spaceship and set out for Mars.This cartoon starts out with the familiar opening of an alien craft coming to Earth to capture a specimen creature - it has been done several times in other cartoons, but it is not to the detriment of this cartoon. The alien here is Marvin with his sidekick K9 (a green dog) and the creature they pick is Bugs Bunny. The film starts really well and is great for the first half with Bugs and Marvin trading blows and Bugs being his typically tricky self. However, in the final stages it isn't quite as good and relies on other factors other than bugs for laughs - a mistake. The ending is weak which was a surprise as it started so well.Marvin is good here, well animated and has some good dialogue. His dog K9 is also pretty funny even if it just looks like WB sidestepped Disney's legal challenges by simply painting their Pluto clone green! Bugs is the star of course and he works really well for the most part; it says a lot that the cartoon dips a bit when it takes the focus off him towards the end.Overall this is an enjoyable cartoon but it performs best up front and begins to run out of steam in the final stages. Still worth watching but it needed a better conclusion that it got.
