Bugs Bunny has always been one of animation's best, funniest, most interesting and most iconic characters. While Chuck Jones perhaps had the larger amount of masterpieces, Fritz Freleng was still responsible for some thoroughly enjoyable to great cartoons.While both Bugs and Freleng have done better cartoons than 'Hare Force', there is still a huge amount to enjoy and love. My only real complaint in fact is the character design of Bugs, it has been said that Bugs does look off and personally have to agree, the design is a bit scrappy and the movement has been smoother since.That aside, the animation is fine. The colours are vibrant, the backgrounds very meticulous in detail and the drawing fluid and very smooth.Carl Stalling never disappoints and one of my favourite composers in cartoon history, 'Hare Force' does nothing to change that perception. Anybody expecting luscious orchestration, characterful rhythms, clever use of instrumentation and sounds and the ability to elevate gags to a greater level rather than just adding to it will find all of those aplenty.Dialogue is high and delicious in freshness and wit, and the gags are beautifully animated, high in energy and with not a single misfire. Bugs, despite the design, doesn't disappoint in personality and humour, and Sylvester is a very amusing foil and interacts wonderfully with Bugs, even if Bugs is the funnier and more interesting character.Voice acting is terrific all round, especially from Mel Blanc.Overall, great, thoroughly enjoyable cartoon if not among the best from either Bugs or Freleng. 9/10 Bethany Cox

. . . given its focus on illegal aliens in and mass deportations from that Statue-of-Liberty country, America. Starring as an alien refugee getting the last laugh is Bugs Bunny. Strangely enough, Bugs also plays U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump here. Or perhaps this is NOT so odd, after all. No one named "Trump" sailed to America on the Mayflower. Not one Trump signed the Declaration of Independence. There weren't even any "General Trumps" of note fighting the U.S. Civil War. Obviously, the Trump Clan consists of Johnny-Come-Latelies to the Home of the Brave, and no one can say whether their Green Cards were in order from the beginning. It's no wonder that Sylvester-the-All-American-Mutt resents it when Bugs Trumper usurps his warm spot by Granny's fire. He and Bugs spend the rest of this Warner Bros. animated short deporting each other from Granny's House, representing our U.S. Homeland. However, Bugs Trumpenstein concludes the action BY STRIPPING GRANNY HERSELF of her birthright citizenship, leaving the Old Lady out in the Cold. This reflects President Trump's nefarious plan to strip ALL Americans on Social Security and\or Medicare of their U.S. Citizenship (on Trumped-up charges), and then booting them South of Mexico's Great Wall.

On a cold winter's night, Bugs Bunny knocks on an old woman's door to look for shelter. She brings him in and places him in front of the fire in place of her own dog. When she goes to bed the dog immediately throws Bugs out but is it as simple as that?Despite the character of Bugs being a little less well animated than in other cartoons, this cartoon still stands up as being very enjoyable regardless. The plot is simple and pits two good characters against each other. While the jokes are quite simple, it is all delivered with good spirit and is pretty funny in the main.The dog is a simple character but stands up well alongside Bugs. Bugs himself is well developed here and is his sharp, plotting self. The two characters play off each other really well and it shows that Bugs is always at his best when playing off a strong foil.Overall this film is simple in terms of plot but still manages to deliver a lot of good jokes and set ups. The characters bring energy and it will make you laugh!

In 'Hare Force,' Bugs Bunny is brought in on a cold winter night, where he must share the warm fire with a dog named Sylvester. Of course, Sylvester gets jealous and the two battle it out. 'Hare Force' certainly has some funny bits, but nothing spectacular. Over all, the film seems to drag a bit, pretty unusual for a Bugs Bunny short.
