For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Definitely not the best of the Looney Tunes canon, but an entertaining one at that. The animation is beautiful and colourful, and the vocal performances as usual are stellar. Also the music is wonderful, and the gags come by thick and fast and are funny. Bugs is still his funny and somewhat arrogant self, and Taz in his debut despite his ravenous appetite is immensely huggable. I did think though that the story was a little on the predictable side, the gags were well done on the whole, but knowing the plot line before watching the cartoon I kind of knew what I had in store. That said, it was a very entertaining short, and works on repeated viewings.8/10 Bethany Cox

Devil May Hare (1954) *** 1/2 (out of 4)All of the animals in the forest are running away when a Tasmanian Devil is on the loose. All except for Bugs Bunny who decides to stay and mess with the creature. This is a wonderful Looney Tunes short that contains great action, wonderful characters and an even better amount of laughs. The movie contains one great scene after another and we also get some rather cute ones including one scene with a baby deer. The best moment has to be the sequence where Bugs gives the Devil a lot of bubble gum and you know madness is going to follow. Another plus is that the Devil actually has some rather funny lines instead of just being a fast mess.

"Devil May Hare" is a wonderful Bugs Bunny cartoon co-starring one of the wabbit's most hilarious nemeses: the Tasmanian Devil! Mel Blanc, the "Man of a Thousand Voices," created a great voice for Taz, comprised of a smorgasbord of growls, raspberries, snorts, and (surprisingly) English.Highlights: In order to help the Tasmanian Devil dig for groundhogs, Bugs purposefully covers Taz up with dirt, after which Taz asks him, "What for you bury me in the cold, cold ground?" When Bugs reads a list of what Tasmanian Devils eat, he humorously mispronounces "octopuses" and "rhinoceroses". When Bugs spots the hordes of animals escaping from Taz, he rapidly & repeatedly asks each animal "What's up, Doc?" but gets no response.Directed by Robert McKimson, "Devil May Hare" is a funny cartoon that can be found on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 Disc 4, featuring an additional commentary from a very knowledgeable cartoon historian named Jerry Beck. Mr. Beck frequently shares his knowledge of the Warner Bros. cartoons via interviews & commentaries throughout the various Looney Tunes Golden Collection volumes, and I very much enjoy listening to his discussions.

In the Tasmanian Devil's first appearance, he goes after Bugs Bunny, but Bugs is ahead of him, armed with various things (how many people can actually explain what sodium bicarbonate is?). In the pantheon of Bugs's foils, Taz seems like more of a cowboy than Yosemite Sam (he's louder, angrier, less comprehensible, and apparently is the world's biggest glutton). I've always thought that Taz was funny mainly because of what Bugs does to him; if it was just him, his slobbering and growling might get old pretty quickly.So, this isn't the best cartoon, but still worth seeing. I wonder how many people in real life have seen a Tasmanian Devil.
