"Hyde and Hare"



"Hyde and Hare" (short), 1955. Bugs Bunny is adopted by Dr. Jekyll.

Directed by Friz Freleng. Written by Warren Foster. Starring Mel Blanc.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Most of the cartoon is just the same joke repeated four or five times.  But there's a lot of stuff I like about it - particularly nice artwork, some funny acting from Bugs in the beginning, and one of Carl Stalling's better scores (which is saying something).
Objective Rating (Average): 2.7/4 (Good)
