Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

slymusic "Mississippi Hare" is quite a decent Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. In the days of cotton plantations and riverboat gamblers in the 19th Century, Bugs matches wits with Colonel Shuffle, perhaps the most hot-tempered, trigger-happy gambler who ever set foot on a riverboat.My favorite scenes from "Mississippi Hare" include the following (DON'T read any further if you have not yet seen this cartoon). At the opening of this film, the plantation workers harmonize "Dixie" as they pick cotton; what really makes this scene funny is how the tempo of the song suddenly speeds up as Bugs' tail is accidentally plucked out of the bush and Bugs gets bagged, sucked upward, transported on a conveyor belt, and baled. During the poker game, Bugs consistently has a wryly humorous expression on his face as he eventually wins all of Colonel Shuffle's stacks of chips and finally shows him six aces; the colonel is then hilarious as his face turns red and he blows a fuse! Bugs does a nice tap dance as he sings "Camptown Races" to the accompaniment of Colonel Shuffle's banjo. Shuffle is quite funny as he jumps around while his butt is ablaze; Bugs protracts the colonel's pain by stalling to give him spare change for a cup of water. Plus, I must praise Carl Stalling's music score for this cartoon; in addition to "Dixie" during the opening cotton-picking scene, "Camptown Races" can be heard during the poker game; a snippet of "Beautiful Dreamer" at the start of the duel; "Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair" as Bugs (in drag) asks a Southern gentleman to protect him (her) from Colonel Shuffle; a distorted version of "Dixie" as the colonel's rear end is on fire; and then, interestingly enough, "Merrily We Roll Along" (one of the familiar opening themes for the Warner Bros. cartoons) as the emblazed colonel requests some spare change from Bugs.In closing, I must also praise Mel Blanc and Billy Bletcher for their vocal characterizations in "Mississippi Hare." Blanc provided the voice of Bugs (and a few other minor characters), while Bletcher supplied the voice of Colonel Shuffle. Blanc could have easily provided the fiery-tempered colonel's voice - he did Yosemite Sam's voice, after all - but Bletcher adds another dimension to the vocal characterizations that is just brilliant. Too bad he didn't receive screen credit, huh?

ccthemovieman-1 Accidentally picked up and stuffed into a bale of cotton, Bugs winds up on a steamship headed to Mississippi. Fearful of being discovered as a stowaway and thrown into the river, Bugs dons two different disguises, beginning with his Southern aristocrat outfit and finishing with his Southern Belle look.In the bulk of the story, Bugs battles a Yosemite Sam-type character in "Colonel Shuffle," a gambler who doesn't tolerate losing. Overall, the duels between the two had a few funny sight gags but not many. The dialog was the attraction here more than the slapstick visuals.The final line Bugs delivers in here - directed to us, the audience, - was "cute." Overall, however, this was okay, but nothing special. Note: I was stunned to see from other reviewers here comment that the Politically-Correct Police banned this cartoon because a black person was seen early on picking cotton. Excuse me, but what's the problem? Many blacks did pick cotton down South. So what? You censor a cartoon for showing something that happened in history? Black people would not be offended at that opening scene. That's going way overboard. It sounds like modern-day Nazism. By the way, where is the concerned PC Police in all these cartoons and movies which almost always show Southerners to be stupid? Banning Bugs Bunny cartoons? How lame and ludicrous can you get?As another reviewer said, the cartoon isn't offensive, just not all that funny.

Lee Eisenberg I understand that "Mississippi Hare" got censored for showing black people picking cotton, but most of the cartoon has nothing to do with that. In fact, most of the cartoon nearly made me die laughing, as Bugs Bunny plays every kind of trick to avoid getting shot by an aggressive riverboat gambler whom he beats at poker. While some scenes set up what's about to happen, others are sped up so that you can't wait to see what's going to happen! Yes, once again, someone tries to go after Bugs, but Bugs is somehow always ten steps ahead. You gotta love it. And as for that scene where Bugs dresses up as a Southern belle...well, seeing a woman like that, I might have easily fallen for any trick!

smicalef One of the better Bugs shorts, although not seen much today due to its depiction of blacks picking cotton and parodies of Uncle Tom's Cabin. If you can forgive those misgivings, then this is a definite must see short. Bugs takes on a Mississippi Colonel on a riverboat.
