Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was during production of this cartoon that Bugs Bunny's name originated. Designer Charles Thorson redesigned the rabbit character and labeled the model sheet "Bug's Bunny," after co-director Ben Hardaway's nickname, Bugs.
- GoofsThe human at the start of the cartoon grabs his double barrel shotgun. When he shoots at Bugs Bunny, he fires his shotgun in quick succession 7 or 8 times without reloading. He would have only been able to fire twice and then would have had to reload in order to have shot twice more, and so on. As there were self loading semi automatic shotguns at the time, the cartoonist could have easily this shotgun one barrel (and inferred that it was such a self loading semi automatic shotgun). Then it would not have been very conceivable to have had the hunter fire 7 to 8 times without reloading.
- Quotes
[impersonating a motorcycle cop]
Rabbit: Going a little fast, weren't ya, buddy? You're on the wrong side of the street, too.
[Sniffs]
Rabbit: Hmm. Intoxicated. Let's see your driver's license. Just as I thought, haven't got one. You know what this'll cost you? Thirty days... hath September, April, June, and Montana. All the rest have cold weather, except in the summer, which isn't often.

Featured review
An early incarnation of the character who soon would be known as Bugs Bunny.
In their early days, various Looney Tunes stars of the 1930s looked very different than they would when they became famous. For example, Porky Pig was an incredibly obese and unpleasant looking pig in his early films. "Hare-um Scare-um" features a very different looking rabbit...the rabbit who would soon be known as Bugs Bunny. He also sounds very different in these early cartoons....a bit more like Woody Woodpecker than Bugs.
When the story begins, some guy is upset at the high cost of meat so he decides to go hunting for his dinner. Unfortunately, he spots a goofy rabbit who spends the rest of the cartoon defeating the hunter and driving him mad.
Unlike most of the cartoons featuring recurring characters in Looney Tunes cartoons of the late 1930s, this one is in color and looks really nice. As for the rabbit, he acts more like Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker and Robert Woolsey put together than Bugs Bunny...which isn't entirely bad. He's much more overtly looney than Bugs...and I enjoyed his song quite a bit. I also enjoyed the gags.
By the way, the version I saw was posted on HBO Max and did contain the restored original ending.
