Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBugs flying like a helicopter (using his ears as a rotor) was also seen in a series of Peanuts cartoon strips. In these, Snoopy flew by in the same manner and created all sorts of havoc. He was called a whirlidog.
- GoofsWhen Yosemite Sam is in the indestructible robot machine, Bugs Bunny rivets the top closed after dropping in a stick of lit dynamite. Yosemite Sam almost gets all 4 rivets loose, but one rivet remains stuck when the robot blows up. As the robot rides up the ramp of the UFO, all the rivets are now gone.

Featured review
Yosemite Sam phone home
Marvin the Martian is the famous space alien among the Looney Tunes, but Friz Freleng gave Yosemite Sam the chance to be one in "Lighter Than Hare". The cartoon casts Sam as a spaceman looking for an earthling. Sure enough, he comes across Bugs Bunny, the one truly untrappable earthling! I really liked watching as Sam sends his robots after Bugs and Bugs casually trashes each of them. Is Sam always doomed or something? Then again, he spends most of his time shouting, just like he does as a cowboy, so he has no way of defeating Bugs. Friz Freleng created Yosemite Sam because he wanted Bugs Bunny to have a more challenging enemy than the gullible Elmer Fudd, so he took the smallest man and gave him the loudest voice possible, and thus was born the roughest, toughest, he-man stuffest hombre as ever crossed the Rio Grande. Of course, Sam was no better at beating Bugs than Elmer ever was. Bugs had only to use Sam's anger against him.
All in all, "Lighter Than Hare" is definitely a really funny one.
