''Hair-Raising Hare'' is a 1946 Warner Bros . '' Merrie Melodies '' cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese . It features the first appearance of Chuck Jones' imposing orange monster character, whom he later named Gossamer . The Story One dark night, an evil scientist (a caricature of Hollywood actor Peter Lorre ) lures Bugs Bunny to his castle - by way of a voluptuous, albeit robotic, female rabbit - to be dinner for his large, hairy orange monster. Bugs succeeds in defeating the monster but at the end of the cartoon is, once again, bewitched by the female robo-rabbit, who follows her after telling the audience, "Well, so it's mechanical!" This is a Bugsy classic with lots of action and many funny bits. When the scientist "introduces" Bugs to the monster. Bugs ponders this for a second or two, then beats a hasty retreat, to the cadence and tune of '' California, Here I Come '', inexplicably filling a suitcase with stuff from the scientist's own chest-of-drawers, as well as grabbing a set of golf clubs and sporting a tam, as if he were going on vacation. Before finally dashing for the door, Bugsy tells the scientist, "And don't think it hasn't been a little slice of heaven... 'cause it ''hasn't!''" EXTERNAL LINK quotes from the film at imdb.com |
