This is a Bugs Bunny cartoon produced by Warner Brothers and directed by Friz Freleng. There will be spoilers ahead:The short opens on a dog named Sylvester and his mistress, a grandmotherly type, with the woman wishing the dog good night and the dog comfy and cozy by the fire. There's a knock on the door and the old woman finds Bugs Bunny in the cold. She brings him in and puts him in the dog's spot and covers him with the dog's blanket, saying "Good night, little bunny" as she goes up to bed.The dog becomes angry and jealous, contemplates Bugs's demise in colorful fashion before tossing him out. Bugs, of course, cons his way back inside. It helps that Sylvester isn't the shiniest pebble in the pond and vacillates between seething rage and a suddenly tender solicitude for Bugs.The bulk of the cartoon has the two in a struggle with regard to who gets tossed out and how they get back in again. The best bits are when Bugs retrieves Sylvester when the woman comes down to see to the commotion and when Bugs and Sylvester start behaving like boxers preparing for a fight ("How's the weather, John L.?"). The penultimate scene has the two alternate in being thrown out, to come back in and throw the other out, until the final toss, which is clever. The closing scene is a classic.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume Three and is well worth having. Recommended.

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!

Cartoonists must have liked the name "Sylvester" back in the classic here. In this Bugs Bunny animated short, the first animal we see is "Sylvester," but not the cat that we all know. This time, it's a dog, snuggled up and pampered by his owner, nice and warm "as a bug in the rug" next to the fireplace on a cold winter night.That's quickly interrupted when there's a knock on the door and it's a frozen Bugs. The old lady immediately gives him the rug and blanket and plops him down at the fireplace. The dog is not happy.From that point, it's Bugs verses Sylvester, battling it out on who's going to stay warm and enjoy the fireplace. Bugs, as usual, is far superior in the brains department and his opponent has more heart. Unfortunately, in most of these cartoons the wise guy (Bugs) beats out the dumb goodhearted opponent.Some funny touches included Bugs roasting a carrot and later, the dog howling outside while Bugs glances at a sad painting of the dog over the fireplace and a note the supposedly-dumb dog leaves Bugs!More good stuff out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. It's easy to see why he was the most popular Looney Tune character of them all. P.S. The ending of this is guaranteed to make you smile.

In 'Hare Force,' Bugs Bunny is brought in on a cold winter night, where he must share the warm fire with a dog named Sylvester. Of course, Sylvester gets jealous and the two battle it out. 'Hare Force' certainly has some funny bits, but nothing spectacular. Over all, the film seems to drag a bit, pretty unusual for a Bugs Bunny short.
