It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

And he is the one trying to have Bugs for dinner in this 6-minute cartoon from over 50 years ago. This was already done in the later stages of the cartoon boom that started in the 1930s. And Taz basically does a fine job as, in contrast to the likes of Elmer, he constantly manages to catch Bugs and get him ready to have dinner "with" him. But Bugs would not be Bugs if he wasn't able to always get away safely. I always liked the Tasmanian Devil as a character, but sadly, the jokes in this one here are not really on par with Warner Bros' best from previous decades (including other works from McKimson starring Blanc) and Taz alone cannot really carry this short film either. Not recommended.

I am a big Looney Tunes fan, and have been for the longest time. I saw Bill of Hare as a big fan of Bugs Bunny, if not so much Taz, and I thought it was amusing and decent. The story is somewhat slight, the conclusion while very amusing thanks to Bugs is not the best there is and probably the weakest part story-wise of the cartoon and Taz while he is good is bland in comparison to Bugs. Bugs however is wonderful, arrogant, insane and zany yet always likable, he really helps give Bill of Hare muster. The animation is very nice especially in the colours and backgrounds, and Taz doesn't have that distracting inconsistency of turning from brown to grey like he can do in some of his cartoons which I liked. The music is quirky and lively too, and while the cartoon is more sight-gag based the dialogue has a lot of wit and cleverness about it, and the sight gags are often hilarious especially I agree the turn handle turning into a truck which was by far the cartoon's most imaginative sight gag. All in all, a decent but kind of unexceptional cartoon at the same time. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Previously, Bugs Bunny had ended up unexpectedly in the Tasmanian Devil's domain, but this time Taz gets brought to Bugs's land. As always, Taz has an appetite for everything, especially rabbit, but has no way of eating Bugs. Somehow, Bugs makes all his nemeses forget that they're enemies! I guess that just about every Taz cartoon has pretty much the same plot, and there were in fact a limited number of Taz cartoons. But I always love how the Australian omnivore's appetite always gets the better of him. Maybe there's nothing special about "Bill of Hare", but it's certainly fun to watch. I'm sure that you'll like it.

A Tasmanian Devil escapes from the hold of a ship returning from an exploration mission. It immediately goes on the hunt for food and finds Bugs Bunny preparing a variety of dishes. Taz tries to eat Bugs but, of course, Bugs turns the tables on him.One of several Bugs Bunny/Tasmanian Devil cartoons that were made and one that comes out as being pretty enjoyable. The pot is quite straightforward but it has quite a few really good jokes the turn handle that turns into a truck being my favourite on the merit of pure imagination alone! It doesn't have a strong finish but the film has enough energy to keep it going.As always, this energy pretty much all comes from Bugs Bunny himself. His trickery and such gives the jokes their punch. Taz is not a good side kick for anyone but does OK here. Without Bugs this cartoon would be lost simply because Taz hasn't got a character to speak of and can only really do one thing. He is an average straightman but he doesn't help Bugs out in the way Fudd, Daffy etc do.Overall an enjoyable cartoon despite the fact that Bugs deserves better double act support than he gets from the Tasmanian Devil.
