. . . Football Fortunes with THE HASTY HARE. Infringing upon Michigan State University's "Sparty" mascot trademark in the more lax days of copyright enforcement back in the 1900s, "Marvin Martian" is indistinguishable from the East Lansing Elf trolling the sidelines during most of the Spartan Home Game Defeats. Bugs Bunny tricks Marvin into leaving Earth empty-handed during the first part of HASTY HARE, foreshadowing how the Spartans would raise the hopes of Michigan Taxpayers by making the second-ever National Football Final Four. After their 128 - 0 defeat in January, 2016, the Spartan Gridders were forced to hitch-hike back to their Wolverine State, as some of their tax subsidies were withdrawn. When Marvin and his K - 9 sidekick suit up for a second go at Bugs, they wind up tangled in their own Acme Corp. rocket-propelled strait jackets. They cannot even evade the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and a few of the more sluggish stars, as the Looney Tuners predict a string of five straight Spartan losses in the Fall of 2016 to such teams as the Universities of Indiana and Maryland.

This is one of quite a few cartoons with Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian - and a space dog called K-9 is included as well. This Looney Tunes episode is very funny, has reasonably good cartoon animation (Marvin's animation is very well done) and the plot is well done. The end is rather weird, so be prepared for it, it is slightly boring. In this episode, Marvin the Martian has been sent to earth to capture an earth creature and bring it back to Mars. With his trusty dog K-9, Marvin sets out and soon finds the tracks of no other rabbit but Bugs Bunny! He greets them with treats, thinking they are trick or treaters in their costumes. Little does he realise they are preparing themselves to take this rabbit to Mars...I recommend this episode to anyone who likes Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian and Looney Tunes in general. As far as the beginning and the middle of the episode are concerned, you are likely to like this. Enjoy "Hasty Hare"! :-)

Part of what was so great about the classic Looney Tunes cartoons was their irreverence and how they weren't afraid to do anything that they wanted. In this case, Marvin the Martian has an assignment to bring back an earthling. Sure enough, he comes across Bugs Bunny, who warns of a mutiny on the part of Marvin's dog. After Marvin finally traps Bugs - by means of an Acme strait jacket-ejecting bazooka! - Bugs has more stuff planned for the voyage back to Mars. What I mean is, if you thought that it was a major change in the Solar System when they stripped Pluto of its planet status, then you ain't seen nothing yet! Yes, "The Hasty Hare" goes all out. How they buy Acme products in outer space is probably beyond most people, but the point here - I mean "hare" - is to have fun. And believe me, you definitely will. After all, a little space-out never hurt anyone.

Did you ever notice Bugs is the only Loony Tunes star big enough to have his name above the title? Maybe that's why he always gets the best villains to outsmart. Marvin, commanding Flying Saucer X-2 is ordered by Martian HDQS to bring back one live Earth creature. But since even Martians buy supplies at Acme (like the Acme disintegrating pistol and the Strait-Jacket Ejecting Bazooka) there is little chance of succeeding. Even stranger, a Martian Trumpet sounds almost exactly like Bugs Bunny singing.Soon the pointy eared Earth creature (Bugs, as if you would not have guessed) turns the tables by planting rumours of mutiny. Martian K-9 Anxious utters the one phrase that should appear in every good film: `What have I done?' (though he does so via a note). The best sequence is saved for last, as Bugs takes the control of the Flying Saucer and rearranges the entire known solar system. This has to be seen to be believed.
