This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
StunnaKrypto
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

. . . but Bugs Bunny's idea of recreation during the 1940s Warner Bros. Looney Tune THE GREY HOUNDED HARE seems to be Sex on a Stick. Bugs apparently doesn't get out much, because the mechanical rabbit at a dog track strikes him as the epitome of "female pulchritude." If it were up solely to Bugs, the phrase "breeding like rabbits" would be synonymous with "multiplying like unicorns." Of course, Bugs' dream boat cruises around the canine raceway like a slot car. Bugs mounts her split inner rail several times, seemingly willing to do the deed in full view of the grandstand crowd. However, since the NC-17 movie rating wasn't around in the 1940s, Bugs is necessarily thwarted at every turn. (As the animation department at Warner delighted in clever wordplay referencing previous, usually outside, works, they surely would come up with a snappier title for this entry were it released today: LARS AND THE REAL BUNNY or BROWN BUNNY DOWN are a couple that come readily to mind.)

Robert McKimson's 'The Grey Hounded Hare' is a really lovely cartoon. Bright and colourful, it pits Bugs Bunny against a whole racetrack full of greyhounds as he attempts to save the female mechanical rabbit they are all chasing. Warren Foster's script is great, filled with knowingly dreadful puns involving the greyhounds' unusual names and a great running commentary during the race section. Bugs rids himself of the majority of the dogs at the halfway mark but is left with the tough No. 7 who keeps fighting to the last. McKimson directs the whole thing with aplomb, making Bugs an aggressive and determined character who, in the end, is as gullible as those he dupes, falling in love with a mechanical rabbit who administers violent electric shocks to anyone who gets fresh! I've loved 'The Grey Hounded Hare' since I was a kid but one thing trouble me even back then. At the cartoon's climax, it genuinely appears to me that Bugs is kissing the mechanical rabbit's bottom!

"The Grey Hounded Hare" is one of the weaker Bugs Bunny cartoons directed by Bob McKimson. The chubby Bugs causes a great deal of mischief at a greyhound racetrack. His objective: to prevent the canines from chasing a mechanical female rabbit, with whom he becomes infatuated(!).Highlights from this cartoon? Not very many. The racetrack commentator offers some good puns about each dog's name as he introduces the canines before the race begins. Bugs jumps onto one particular dog's back and covers its eyes, causing it to run in all directions and crash into a wall. And at the end of this short, Bugs receives a severe electrical shock from kissing the mechanical rabbit. (Honestly, something is truly wrong with Bugs if he insists on protecting & pursuing this mechanical device and never figuring it out!) "The Grey Hounded Hare" is a cartoon with plenty of action and violence, but most of the harm is inflicted on the innocent canines. Considering how greyhounds are abused, beaten, left for dead, and generally mistreated, those of you who own greyhounds will probably wish to skip this cartoon.

Woken from his sleep by all the disturbance, bugs comes out of his hole to find a grey hound race about to take place. He goes in to place a bet and settles down to watch the race. However, when he sees that a pretty young rabbit is used to make the dogs run, Bugs has no choice but to step in and save the maiden.From the very moment that Bugs looks into the mouth of one of the dogs to see what the best bet for winner is, you can see what the problem is going to be with this cartoon - no foil for Bugs to work offa. And indeed as the cartoon gets going, that is exactly the problem. The action is still quite amusing but it needs to have a focal point alongside Bugs himself and the main greyhound just doesn't cut it as a character. Despite this the cartoon still works in a basic way and is pretty funny for the most part.Bugs is as good as he always is but at times you feel the need for someone decent for him to outsmart; somehow it isn't the same to see him tricking a group of anonymous dogs. When he does go one to one, the dog is just too unmemorable to really make a good companion for Bugs and it stutters the cartoon a bit.Despite this, Bugs is Bugs and he is still worth watching no matter who he's with! The cartoon is far from his best and really needed a better character for the lead dog to have but it still gets by with some nice laughs and the fact that it's still a Bugs Bunny cartoon!
