terrible... so disappointed.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"Mad as a Mars Hare" is an American cartoon from 1963, so this one is already over half a century old and it includes some of Warner Bros' greatest again in Chuck Jones, Mel Blanc and John W. Dunn, who was also really prolific back then, even if his name may not be as known as some other cartoon writers for WB. Anyway, the antagonist here is once again the Martian, a character who is not as prolific as Elmer and Sam for example, but still the films in which he appears all made it somehow famous, perhaps because of the SciFi space element. And it is somewhat entertaining. The film is perhaps at its best when the two protagonists aren't united yet and when we are introduced to them, especially the scenes with Bugs refusing to step outside the rocket. What a difference a carrot makes. But the Neanderthal scene at the end was fine too. Overall, it is a well-rounded entertaining effort and I cannot deny I have a soft spot for the Martian too. Needless to say Blanc's once again spot-on with his voice acting for the little guy here. The man's a legend. The film's a winner. Go check it out.

Chuck Jones wins for Marvin and Bugs, using them freshly in this late cartoon. He wins against the horrible score by Bill Lava, even using it to advantage in the mechanical carrot scene. He wins against a limited set of backgrounds, and the wide-screen madness of movies in the early '60s. (Few pans, few camera movements, thick outlines for the characters.) He even wins against his own tendency for too much talk and too much exposition. He still draws well, he still has good writers, and he still has many good jokes. Even with the ending (no spoilers), which frightened me so when I was a child, I'd recommend this cartoon to almost everyone.

Being a fan of Marvin the Martian I enjoyed this short. For once he isn't trying to destroy the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, in fact in this short it is Mars being invaded by Earth.The short opens with Marvin observing the people of Earth, which he thinks are insects, through a large telescope. As he zooms in on Florida he observes what he thinks is a creature hatching, in fact it is a rocket heading straight for him. This rocket contains astro-rabbit Bugs Bunny who has been sent to claim Mars in the name of Earth. Understandably Marvin isn't too happy about this alien intruder and goes out to confront Bugs with his disintegration gun... of course it isn't Bugs that ends up getting disintegrated.Some people have said that this is too talky but I didn't mind that in fact any time Marvin talks is great as he is such a funny character, his comments about the people of Earth were hilarious.

Most of the gags in this are verbal in nature, rather than sight gags (though it has a fair number of those as well) and Marvin may have more of the best lines than Bugs, particularly in the beginning. As is often the case, the title is a play on words-in this case, "mad as a March hare", which I believe was derived from Alice in Wonderland. Marvin's comments on "the flora and fauna of Earth likely would have delighted H. L. Mencken and Ambrose Bierce! The ending scene is beautiful, particularly the closing line. Great fun is had by all (well, not by Marvin, not at the end, anyway). Well worth watching. Most highly recommended.
