It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Hilarious Bugs Bunny short, directed by Bob McKimson, finds our hero in the Ozarks (no wrong turn at Albuquerque here; he's vacationing). It takes no time at all before Bugs finds himself being hunted by two hillbilly brothers, who he easily outsmarts at every turn. Very simple cartoon but also very funny. There are many great lines and gags in this one but the highlight is the classic square dance scene. Just about all the hillbilly jokes you can think of are used here (the beards, the clothes, the lack of shoes, the feudin', etc.). Excellent voice work from Mel Blanc, Stan Freberg, and John T. Smith. Lively music from Carl Stalling. The animation is very nice, with beautiful fall colors and well-drawn characters and backgrounds.

The hillbilly brothers Curt and Punkinhead Martin haven't had luck in the rabbit hunt.Now they have determined to get Bugs Bunny.Probably not the easiest target.Hillbilly Hare is a Merrie Melodies cartoon from 1950.Its director is Robert McKimson and it's produced and released through Warner Bros. Pictures.Bugs is voiced by Mel Blanc, who else.He also does the voice of Curt Martin.Stan Freberg is the voice of Punkinhead Martin.Then there's also John T. Smith.This short represents slapstick comedy at its best.Bugs Bunny's long square dance number with the song is a riot.We also see Bugs wearing women's clothes.That makes the boys whistle.This is seven minutes pure Bugs Bunny fun.

This is another great Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Bob McKimson along with "Acrobatty Bunny" from 1946, "Hurdy-Gurdy Hare" from the same year this short is made in - 1950, "Rabbit's Kin" from 1952 with Stan Freberg again as Pete Puma this time; "Wet Hare" from 1962.Mel Blanc & Stan Freberg were great as the two hillbilly brothers Curt & Pumpkinhead Martin. Not to be mean, but a hillbilly's speech impediment is funny to me. The best scene in this cartoon, is the square dance scene where Bugs makes up a hilarious square ditty :"Whomp him low! and Whomp him high! stick your finger in his eye!" Something like that. So anyway I really love this cartoon.

This is a delightful cartoon, with hilarious dialogue moreso than visual gags. The squaredance scene alone is worth the price of admission, but my absolute favorite line, one that just busts me up every time. Bugs says to one of the Martins, "And who might you be?" to which his response is, "I might be Teddy Rooseyvelt, but I ain't!" So sue me! I think it's a funny line! Highly recommended.
