Pre-Hysterical Hare

About This Movie

So, 'Pre-Hysterical Hare' is an interesting little piece from 1958 that dives into this quirky blend of animation and family fun. Bugs Bunny, in his usual cleverness, finds this oddly captivating Micronesian Film Documentary in a format dubbed 'Cromagnonscope.' The concept alone is a wild throwback as it ventures into a prehistoric setting with Elmer Fuddstone and a rather comical sabertooth bunny. The pacing is a bit loose but it allows for some genuinely amusing moments between Bugs and Elmer. The animation has that vintage charm, and while it leans into absurdity, there's something about the practical effects that gives it a unique feel. Definitely a fun watch if you're into those oddball animation gems from the late '50s.

This film wasn't widely released, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Most copies floating around are from VHS and later digital transfers, but those original theatrical releases are prized. The quirky premise and distinct animation style have sparked a niche interest, especially for those who appreciate the more obscure works of this era. Overall, its scarcity and unique blend of humor with historical satire keep it on the radar for dedicated animation collectors.
