    • Trivia
      The last of the four "Bugs goes to outer space" shorts, following Haredevil Hare (1948), The Hasty Hare (1952), and Hare-Way to the Stars (1958). It's also the last appearance of Marvin the Martian in the original theatrical shorts until Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension (1996), though the character would later re-appear in Spaced Out Bunny (1980) and Duck Dodgers and the Return of the 24 1/2th Century.

    Chuck Jones Conquers Mars
    Chuck Jones wins for Marvin and Bugs, using them freshly in this late cartoon. He wins against the horrible score by Bill Lava, even using it to advantage in the mechanical carrot scene. He wins against a limited set of backgrounds, and the wide-screen madness of movies in the early '60s. (Few pans, few camera movements, thick outlines for the characters.) He even wins against his own tendency for too much talk and too much exposition. He still draws well, he still has good writers, and he still has many good jokes. Even with the ending (no spoilers), which frightened me so when I was a child, I'd recommend this cartoon to almost everyone.
