ThiefHott Too much of everything
Lawbolisted Powerful
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
TheLittleSongbird I really liked the premise of Hare Trimmed; Yosemite Sam attempts to woo Granny for her inherited fortune and Bugs decides to make a good deed and stop it. This premise was intriguing and worked really well. Do I have any issues? Not really, perhaps a little too fast at times, but it is hugely enjoyable, but what was with the edited version? The original was fine as it was, why meddle with it. Very unnecessary if you ask me.Back on target, the animation is nicely done and sharp, the sort of colours that you may find in a Pepe Le Pew cartoon, nice, traditional and sweet-looking. I especially loved the use of the purples and the pinks. The music also has some lovely romantic flavour to it. The dialogue sparkles, the sight gags delight and the characters intrigue. Bugs is hilarious here, and Yosemite Sam is on top form too, even if he has never struck me as a marrying type. As ever, Mel Blanc is excellent and Bea Benaderet is suitably sweet as Granny. Overall, very entertaining and well animated, and I prefer to think the edited version doesn't exist. 9/10 Bethany Cox
didi-5 A fast-moving Bugs Bunny cartoon where he puts all his energies into saving the old widow with lots of cash from the attentions of red-whiskered Sam the fortune-hunter.Chasing, dressing-up, lumps on the head, shotguns, lumps of sugar, the kitchen sink, and a fun wedding scene all add up to an entertaining few minutes in the company of our favourite rabbit.Seeing Bugs as a sharp dresser and with, for once, thoughts for others besides himself make this cartoon very enjoyable and a lot of fun. And the title is pretty funny too.Mel Blanc's voice characterisations - he portrays all the characters - are as excellent as ever and add greatly to the impact of the cartoon, which also boasts the sharp animation we've come to expect from the Looney Tunes team.
Akbar Shahzad (rapt0r_claw-1) I consider myself extremely fortunate, in that I have never been oppressed enough to have seen a cartoon edited for unsuitable material (or so the censors think). Bugs the boy scout does his good deed in delivering Granny, who is plagued by Yosemite Sam's dishonest affections. The funniest part of the cartoon is when Bugs dresses up as Granny and does Yosemite Sam some series hurt, which Yosemite isn't happy with at all. So, in wonderfully predictable style, the antagonist ends up taking out his rage on the real Granny, as he thought Bugs to be the elderly matron even when he'd received a bashing. There really isn't any excuse for editing this cartoon as it has been, and people should be able to enjoy it in its entirety.
Angel-Marie **Spoilers are more than likely to be in here. Fair warning.When I was a kid, I remember seeing this cartoon. Of course, it was an edited version where many scenes of violence and sexual innuendo (and a short scene where Granny sees Yosemite Sam staggering and thinks he's drunk) were cut by the PC Gestapo that is the censors of the now-Disney owned channel, ABC. I went through life not knowing it was edited until I looked on a website about Looney Tunes cartoons being censored on TV, cable, and in syndication. That's when I found out that this very stylish, very comically sharp cartoon was ripped to shreds by those who are devoid of a sense of humor.When Cartoon Network started airing this as part of last year's "June Bugs" special, I was overjoyed, especially since CN did the smart thing and aired the "offensive" scenes.What really intrigues me about this cartoon is that it has the formula of a Pepe Le Pew cartoon, except it's done by Freleng, Sam and Bugs are more interested in Granny's money than her affections, and it doesn't seem like it's a Pepe cartoon at all (with the exception of Sam's so-called playful "I can see you through the keyhole!" which can be associated to the many innuendos that roll off the tongue of Pepe Le Pew). What disturbs me is the ending involving Bugs and Sam walking down the aisle.I would tell you more, but I don't wanna spoil it completely. Besides, Cartoon Network airs this a lot, so go see it if you haven't already.
