"Hare Conditioned"



"Hare Conditioned" (short), 1945. Bugs Bunny vs. a department store manager.

Directed by Chuck Jones. Written by Tedd Pierce. Starring Mel Blanc.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent). The trouble with watching my Looney Tunes box set in chronological order is I'm really starting to miss Tex Avery's character animation.
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). This is a different Bugs than I'm used to (he's not too smart, and focuses more on defying physics than outwitting the bad guy), and I can't say I like it. It would have been a better cartoon if they'd used a different character (Daffy would make sense), but still wouldn't have been anything noteworthy.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.2/4 (Okay)
