Featured review
Bugs and the wolves
The Looney Tunes cartoons more than once that they could parody fairy-tale stories and characters very well and even brilliantly. 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and 'The Three Little Pigs' primarily. This incarnation of Big Bad Wolf was a fun character and a case of the character being better than the cartoons themselves. One couldn't go much wrong with one of Looney Tunes' and animation's most famous characters Bugs Bunny.
Bugs certainly did far better cartoons than 'Now Hare This', though through no fault of Bugs. Ones that were funnier, more inspired in story and more imaginative and varied in material. 'Now Hare This' is still fun and worth watching, especially since we were approaching the period when the quality of the Looney Tunes cartoons declined. Just not a must see and there are better parodies of fairy-tales around that are sharper, funnier and more original.
Not that 'Now Hare This' isn't funny. It actually is pretty humorous. It would have benefitted though from more laughs and a few of them are very predictable agreed and like pale rehashes. The same goes with the story, which could have been sharper in places.
While the nephew has some amusing rapport with Big Bad Wolf, he doesn't add an awful lot and irritates a bit at times.
However, Bugs is true to character, crafty, arrogant with razor sharp comic timing, with a sparkling chemistry with the cartoon's antagonist Big Bad Wolf, an amusing and well contrasted character if not one of Bugs' greatest adversaries. The animation could have done with more smoothness in the drawing at times, but the vibrant colours and rich in detail backgrounds still remain. Milt Franklyn may not be at his best, but his score here is still distinctively Franklyn, meaning lively in character and very attractive orchestration. Nothing cheap or discordant here.
Mel Blanc provides typically exuberant and individual voice acting, especially as Bugs. Not unexpectedly, as Bugs is one of his best roles. There is enough wit in the dialogue and the gags are not inspired as such but at least amuse and bring smiles.
In a nutshell, worth seeing but Bugs has done better. 7/10
