Falling Hare 1943


In 1943, Warner Bros. released the animated short film "Falling Hare," starring Bugs Bunny. This cartoon is a classic example of Warner Bros.'s wartime humor and animation style.

The story begins with Bugs Bunny reading a book titled "Victory Thru Hare Power," a spoof of the book "Victory Through Air Power." Bugs is then drafted into the U.S. Army Air Corps and assigned to a top-secret mission. However, his mission is sabotaged by a gremlin, a mischievous creature known for causing trouble in wartime.

The gremlin, a small, green imp, wreaks havoc on the plane, causing a series of mishaps and near-disasters. Bugs, ever the resourceful and quick-witted hero, must outsmart the gremlin and save the day. The cartoon is filled with slapstick humor, visual gags, and witty dialogue, all hallmarks of classic Looney Tunes.

One of the most memorable scenes in the film is the climax, where Bugs and the gremlin engage in a high-speed chase through the skies. The sequence features stunning animation and breathtaking stunts, as the two adversaries battle for control of the plane.

"Falling Hare" is a beloved classic that continues to entertain audiences of all ages. Its blend of humor, action, and wartime themes make it a timeless piece of animation history.
