Directed by Chuck Jones, "Homeless Hare" is a very good Bugs Bunny cartoon. Bugs' hole becomes the center of a construction site as it gets lifted up by a crane. When Bugs kindly asks the burly, cigar-chomping construction worker to place his "home" back where it belongs, the sinister smart aleck does not comply. As he eventually learns, if you mess with Bugs Bunny, you better look out!
Highlights: Carl W. Stalling wrote a catchy, jazzy snippet during the introductory credits. After Bugs antagonizes the villain by playing with the elevator, the treacherous palooka soars high into the air, sees a bird, looks down below, gives quite a humorous reaction, and falls all the way down into a vat of cement; as a finishing touch, a short, bespectacled construction worker takes the villain's cigar as he continues laying the cement. And watch the wry expression on Bugs' face as he removes bricks from what becomes, in effect, a teeter-totter numerous stories above the ground, with the villain standing on the other end of it!
I had never seen "Homeless Hare" until I obtained the DVD (the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 Disc 1). Bugs isn't really homeless, of course, and he intends to keep it that way.....by making life extremely hard for one thoughtless construction worker!
