Because I had so much to say about this rowdy Bob Clampett cartoon, here's an extended video commentary with both the released and notorious unreleased versions of Hare Ribbin' back-to-back. I'd like to do more WB cartoons in the future but I'm having trouble thinking of ones that I could fill a whole track for. If you like this one and have suggestions, I'm all ears.

Video Commentary - Hare Ribbin'.mp4

What a treat this one was, seeing you do commentaries on both cuts. I learned quite a lot, and it makes complete sense to say that McKimson did a lot of the heavy lifting in these shorts too, much like Hawley Pratt did for Friz Freleng. It's also interesting to compare how McKimson's directing style was from Clampett's. Two totally different directions with a lot of the same animators but still great in their own ways.

Forgot to say what idea I wanted for other Looney Tunes commentaries, but I'm interested in seeing someone do a commentary on a more obscure Bob McKimson short from way later in his career called "Bartholemew vs the Wheel" or maybe something on "Banty Raids" because they are very unusual cartoons to me and I was wondering what the history was behind em. It's interesting to see as WB shorts were on decline, this is what McKimson was directing.

Hare Ribbin’ feels like a remake, if not an over the top parody, of The Heckling Hare; right down to the opening scenes. It shows how much more daring Clampett was compared to his zany contemporaries. I had a hunch that this was subjected to the Hay’s censorship, but never imagined that the backstory was documented.

I love Bugs’s expressive hands, his twirling of the fingers at 5:35 and the arms’ 3-D depth at 6:50. Most radio references like the Mad Russian or Baby Snooks irritate the shit out of me. It’s not because they’re dated, it’s because the humor is dated. (Although my girlfriend can do a good Jimmy Durante based solely on cartoon impersonations.)

Yet weirdly, they okayed Bugs shooting the coughing audience member in Rhapsody Rabbit. Maybe the offscreen nature of the death made it okay.
