One of my all time favorites.

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

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Fun Bob McKimson-directed Bugs short that has Bugs tussling with a Texas oil baron who bears a slight resemblance to Yosemite Sam. The plot kind of writes itself: the baron sets up an oil derrick right on top of Bugs' rabbit hole. Bugs has a problem with that and is promptly told to "git." This, of course, means war. It's a funny cartoon with a couple of interesting new characters - the clichéd but amusing oil baron and his silent valet Maverick. The animation is beautiful with well-drawn characters and backgrounds and lovely bright colors. Great voice work from Mel Blanc. Really a solid cartoon all around. Not one of Bugs' best but still good.

. . . Bugs Bunny notes to conclude OILY HARE, a Warner Bros. animated short. There may have been a few folks living in Texas when this cartoon first aired in the Mid-1900s, but certainly NOT the scads teeming there Today. Few or Many, Warner again goes out of its way to deduct at least one star from this state's rating. OILY HARE opens with a highway sign proclaiming that Dallas has been renamed "Dollar$, Texa$." (Don't forget that this was a couple decades BEFORE Debbie Did Dallas for Dollars!) We next see a green limousine so excessive that it employs a long-distance switchboard operator riding in the middle to relay messages from the Oil Mogul passenger to the chauffeur up front. Next to the fireplace toward the rear of this vehicle paces "Orvil Rich, Texan." Orvil proves to be a Beta Fracker, expending enough dynamite in his oil recovery operations to crack every house foundation from Albuquerque to Atlanta. Texas has enjoyed each of the Ten Plagues of Egypt at least twice during the past century, and Orvil's latest boondoggle transmutes his oily Reign of Terror into a Rain of Carrots. In a best case scenario, Texas' final Big Bang will break it off from America, and set it adrift in the Gulf. Clearly this would be Warner's way of dealing with our "Texa$" Problem.

Ah, what splendours are the oil drills of this cartoon, giving SOO much money to the people of the US of A... That is, until one excessively spoilt man in the most excessive limousine I have seen EVEN in a cartoon, spots one hole out in the Wild West that 'as no oil drill on it. He and his "assistant" Maverick work on it right away, but soon enough Bugs Bunny comes up to see why an oil drill is being built over his home. The man heading the oil drill building (who sounds like Yosemite Sam but doesn't look very much like him) decides he's gonna blast Bugs Bunny outta his 'ole, he's determined to get that oil. On the other hand, Bugs Bunny's not so pleased and does his best to stop his hole being blown up...This cartoon was very slapsticky and was full of pretty predictable jokes, however I could not help finding it entertaining. (Usually I do not enjoy the slapstick in Looney Tunes very much, by the way.) Just to see the excessiveness of the limousine and to see how the characters thought of the oil drills made me find this cartoon funny. What saddens me is that Bugs Bunny was all right with oil drills in principle, I would be put off them if they covered the whole of the Wild West (as they did in the cartoon)! However, I disapprove of them in principle already anyway.If you are interested in seeing cartoon representing Wild West people hungry for money and to see Bugs Bunny up to his usual, pretty entertaining antics, I recommend "Oily Hare". Enjoy! :-)

While "Oily Hare" has its plot, the idea of a Texas oil well is what catches my attention. The unctuous - or should I say "oily" - tycoon here is exactly the type who would have forced the Cajuns off of their land in Louisiana, just as he tries to do to Bugs Bunny. And we see how much the oil industry affects policy today.Of course, I've probably gone too far in analyzing this cartoon. I'm sure that it was intended as crazy entertainment, and it certainly entertains. When they start playing Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" is when you know that you're in for something really cool, and boy are you! Anyway, a pretty funny one.
