Bugs Bunny fights over a warm place with a dog in this early Looney Tunes short.I watched it on Looney Tunes Golden Collection, DVD I found from the library.Pretty entertaining, even though not the very best of Bugs Bunny.But it is rather funny to watch the nice old lady being thrown out in the cold.Not that I have anything against nice old ladies.And Bugs doing his dead act by making a snow bunny, and the poor dog cries over his "good friend".Hare Force from 1944 is directed by Friz Freleng.Mel Blanc provides the voice for Bugs Bunny.Bea Benederet is the voice of Granny and Sylvester the dog is voiced by Tedd Pierce.Enjoy!

"Hare Force" is a fine Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce. The setup: Bugs competes with a dog (named Sylvester, of all names) for the warmth of a cozy domestic fireplace.My favorite moments from this cartoon: Sylvester kicks Bugs in the ass and then suddenly apologizes to him; Bugs forgives him, but not without a little ass-whooping of his own. AND, for all you fans of great music, Bugs and (later) Sylvester sing the opening of "As Time Goes By". In fact, the very first time I ever heard this classic Herme Hupfeld song was from watching "Hare Force", many years prior to my first viewing of the 1942 classic live-action drama "Casablanca".

On a cold snowy Winter night, an elderly woman takes in a cold Bugs Bunny who is dying on her doorstep. Her dog Sylvester doesn't like this one bit and tosses him out, of course you know that this means war and they take turns throwing each other outside. This cartoon is pretty good although Bugs seems to be off somehow from the version we all know and love. The dog made a pretty fun, if simple, foil for the rascally rabbit though. Not among the top wrung of the Bugs shorts, but fun none the less. This animated short can be found on Disk 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 set.My Grade: B

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!
