From Hare to Eternity (1997)

From Hare to Eternity Review

From Hare to Eternity is a 1997 animated short film from the Looney Tunes series.

Yosemite Sam the pirate finds a treasure chest which belongs to Bugs Bunny. Bugs is determined to get it back, and boards Sam’s ship to battle wits with Pirate Sam. This movie was a tribute to Friz Freleng after his passing and it was the last movie directed by Chuck Jones, so it felt historic in a way. But the contents of the film are anything but iconic.

While the animation is polished, it lacked the artistic quality of the series’ golden era cartoons. The score is also only serviceable. Yosemite Sam is very amusing here and the song that he sings in the first third was charming. Bugs was also pretty memorable and his mermaid disguise was a lot of fun. The problem with this short is that they failed to make best use of the ship setting, leading to a very forgettable short.

From Hare to Eternity benefits from solid comedic interplay between Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny, but it was overall uninspired in humor and plot.

My Rating – 3.7
