Edgar Allan Pooh . . . reveals that these yellow creatures have blue foreheads, red noses, and wear red gloves. "Diabolical saboteurs" in times of War, gremlins are as likely as not to undertake suicide attacks. They are capable of launching pilot-less aircraft, and steering these military drones toward civilian skyscrapers. In Real Life, gremlins apparently succeeded in ramming a WWII-era bomber through an upper floor of New York City's Empire State Building a few years after FALLING HARE's warning came out. To keep up morale, such acts are often blamed upon mechanical failure or the weather, as was the case here. In other episodes, pilots themselves have been deemed to suffer from Gremlin Possession, with the ocean-diving Egypt Air pilot and the more recent German Alps "suicide" jockey just two of many examples. Statistically, air travel is said to remain the second safest form of transportation, after elevators. But if you were on "the lift" in the World Trade Center the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, it wasn't so safe, as up to 500 folks "going up" never made it. Sounds a lot like the work of "diabolical saboteurs," doesn't it?

phantom_tollbooth Bob Clampett's 'Falling Hare' is one of the greatest Bugs Bunny cartoons ever made. Part of the fascinating sub-genre of "Bugs as loser" cartoons, 'Falling Hare' sees Bugs being terrorised by a little gremlin for seven minutes. Far from a gentle needling, the gremlin puts Bugs in genuine fear of his life as he is imprisoned on a plummeting aircraft. Deceptively cute, the gremlin's nonchalance makes his psychopathic intentions all the more disturbing. He chuckles to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle' as he sets about destroying a plane in mid-flight and attempting to dispense of Bugs by having him plummet to his death. Though the gremlin is a fascinating character, 'Falling Hare' is really Bugs's show as he is driven to complete hysteria as he battles for his life. He goes through fits of screaming desperation, Technicolor nausea and complete collapse. It's one of the great cartoon breakdowns of all time (for another great animated mental collapse, see Friz Freleng's 'Canned Feud') and the fact that it is the usually cocky and self-assured Bugs going through it makes 'Falling Hare' even more remarkable. The sight of Bugs screaming at the window of a plane as it goes down has stuck with me ever since the first time I saw 'Falling Hare'. For anyone who makes the claim that Bugs must always be the winner, 'Falling Hare' is a must-see. In fact, it's a must see for absolutely everyone.

slymusic "Falling Hare", directed by the wacky Robert Clampett, is a Bugs Bunny cartoon with plenty of wildly funny sight gags as Bugs chases an airplane-wrecking gremlin around a U.S. Army air field. HOWEVER, when I first saw this cartoon during my high school days (late '80s/early '90s), I found it highly disturbing. Why? Because I didn't like to see Bugs Bunny be the fall guy. But this was characteristic of Clampett; he didn't follow all the rules. Bugs Bunny didn't ALWAYS win.Here are my favorite moments from "Falling Hare". Composer Raymond Scott's familiar "Powerhouse" can be heard as Bugs chases the gremlin directly into the airplane cabin. Then we hear the familiar strains of "Ochi Tchornya" as Bugs tries to break down the cabin door, after which we hear a familiar jocular melody as Bugs turns into a jackass. After Bugs saves the plane from crashing into a cavalcade of tall buildings, he becomes out of breath as the gremlin fans him.As I mentioned earlier, I was initially very disturbed by "Falling Hare", but I eventually got over it. And by the way, the opening shots of the massive air field, accompanied by some wonderfully patriotic music, must have done quite a bit to boost morale for our brave soldiers on combat duty during World War II. And the drawing of Bugs as he reads "Victory Thru Hare Power" is probably the best drawing of the wascawwy wabbit I've ever seen!

Robert Reynolds This short has a lot of topical humor, which is the case with most of the work produced anyway, but this is topical to World War II and to many people alive today, that seems like eons ago. References to Wendell Wilkie and "A" cards and the like will sail by many in the audience, but sight gags and the overall wackiness will be enjoyable enough. Check out the title of the book Bugs is reading at the start-it's a great gag! Well worth watching. Recommended.
