Haredevil Hare (1948)

 

The more I re-watch the old Looney Tunes shorts, the more they feel nostalgic, and simple to watch. There are still countless of iconic Looney Tunes shorts I could say are fantastic like The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, Duck Dodgers And The 24th 1/2 Century, Duck Amuck and Scaredy Cat. I honestly have changed alot of my opinions with this franchise, Chuck Jones is probably one of my favorite Looney Tunes directors nowadays, he improved so much over the years and the amount of expressions, concepts and characters he made are truly outstanding. 

I think reasons as to why he wasn't my favorite back then it's because I wanted more zany and comedic entertainment especially at a time where life wasn't too peaceful for me.


While I don't like his Roadrunner or Pepe Le Pew cartoons, they still have a good element to them, I sometimes relate to the dialogue and the stretchy movements of the characters and the more toned-down pacing.



This is a great example of a cartoon by his that I love simply for it's background style. This is a cartoon titled Haredevil Hare (1948), it's taken in space, and Bugs and Marvin are the stars of the film. (Get it?)






I'm a huge fan of space themed art, it's so vast and full of possibilities. It's like my love for The Hubble Galaxy stuff. 






Marvin The Martian is an underrated character, he's different than most of the main Looney Tunes characters which makes him unique and likeable. The problem was that he didn't get enough potential and recognition which only resulted 5 cartoons in the classic era. He's a character I like the more I experience him.






I love the environment itself, it's detailed and not too distracting. 









This cartoon is a masterpiece, I love the comedic timing and character acting, coming from an artist myself. 





Since this is a Chuck Jones cartoon and Halloween is in a few days, why haven't I checked out something like Hair Raising Hare or Scaredy Cat? I mainly wanted to talk about Haredevil Hare because of it's space backgrounds, I did not plan this entirely, but I did anyway, maybe there isn't enough for me to talk about with those spookier films but I would like to revisit them someday.
