Tortoise Beats Hare 1941 - bring bugs back!

[MultiSocks1234]

Oh and another thing....rabbits aren't very bright either

[3912James]

"We're bettin' on everyting we got on da rabbit to win...in fact...we don't even tink dat da turtle will finish....DO WE BOYS!!! NOOOOO BOSS NOOOOOOOOO!!!"

LOL!!!

[Boogyman4050]

The 2 original "Tortoise Beats Hare" Bugs Bunny cartoons do have continuity with each other. The first one, Cecil cheats by using his family/friend turtles as doubles. This one, he outsmarts Bugs and gets the rabbit mob to nail their own guy. They fit together like bacon and eggs. Cecil was a cool character.

[oluham]

Bugs was more manic in his earlier days

[Reggie202010]

EPIC!! bug should have took off his cap and medal shell

[khalidmidawi]

guy's plz the music in 6:42 pllllz

[elyusai1]

I love this! I hate Bugs for ruining Daffy Duck's career in the 50's...

[lepumpernic1]

..."Hello oldtimer...(Cecil to Bugs)" - "HELLO JOHNNY!!!" (Bugs to Cecil). LOL hahahahahahaahah.

[ConfusedSponge]

@33kalam Thanks

[dhiz92]

i always hated this one as a kid because bugs always lost

[TimRosales750]

This just proves.. Never Cheat!

[EuropeanAnimation]

Why didn't they just have Bugs win and mistake him for a tortoise?

[texan1120]

@EuropeanAnimation you should ask the people that made this show, maybe they'll tell you....

[EuropeanAnimation]

@texan1120 I'd ask Warren Foster, but he's long dead I'm sure.

[MalchikBlue]

Wrong title. This short is called "Tortoise Wins by a Hare".

[nate23k]

umm did the rabbits just commit suicide in the end?

[TormentedBrutality]

@nate23k yep they blew their brains out

[lepumpernic1]

@nate23k yup

[smurfton94]

I remember this. I can't believe that I still remember this. wow.

[KrazyKartoonKid]

It's nice to see Bugs lose for a change

[rubenshark0]

[cookieDaXapper]

"i'm the RA-BBIT!!!!!" just awesome, i know that it's been said a qajillion times but today's cartoons just lack this timelessness. thanks uploader.

[1usarobin]

the title of this short says it all:) bring bugs back!:D

[wiisalute]

7:36 fuck my life

[weaverdamien00000000]

This is a pretty funny cartoon but in which one does he race the turtle again but gets arrested at the end for going 100 mph in a 20mph zone?

[mytimton]

DAMN, those rabbits are packing

[aidahxcantxfly19]

I missed watching this show. :') I used to watch this A LOT of times when I was younger. Even though I watch it repeatedly, I never get tired. And now, we have a school project to do, to take a fable and make a puppet show about it to play for the kids. This was the first thing I ran to. And now, watching it, AGAIN, for the 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000 time, it made me shed a tear. :') I LOVE YOU BUGS BUNNY NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. <3

[AliceSonicGundamFan]

lol Toitle

[khalidmidawi]

what's name of music in 6:41 ??

[ChiSportsNut18]

I was glad to see Bugs lose at the end. He's nothing but a sore loser in this episode.

[blueswan1984]

Remember folks Bugs Bunny first started out as a bad guy before he became the loving bunny protagonist that we know and love in the 80s & 90s.

[hammermjh]

I guess noone noticed by the comments I saw, that this is NOT tortise beats hare.

[RuledByMetalMusic]

Wow I dont remember the gang shooting themselves ! O_O Is the first time I see it,thanks man !!!!! Awesome cartoon !!!

[22nyreese]

awww the turtle is soo cute

[Shawn200220012000200]

My favorite part is: You're a Turtle! Rabbit!! Turtle! Rabbit!!!! Turtle! Rabbit!!!!!! TURTLE!!!! Yep, that's the turtle alright! at 6:08-6:19

[AliceSonicGundamFan]

@Shawn200220012000200 I thought thet say "Toytle"

[Suwandi]

Thanks for uploading!

[BringBugsBack]

@Suwandi @MicrosoftWindowsGuy Welcome!, hey everyone now bugs bunny is on Direct TV Again!

[Firebrdsuite]

@BringBugsBack really?

[huhhuhhuhwood]

@BringBugsBack you got ur wish cartooon network as a new show with bugs

[drzfynest65]

Wow! I must have seen this very Bugs cartoon a dozen times as a kid, but I don't remember the rabbit gang shooting themselves at the end! I guess Cartoon Network censored it?

[TheTexanCanadian]

This isn't Tortoise Beats Hare, it's Tortoise Wins by a Hare, and it's made in 1943 not 1941.

[BoHaggon]

Which is the episode where Bugs steals Cecil's shell and Cecil is wearing the blue and white striped bathing suit?

[edkaska]

bugs is coming back on the looney toons show

[90FirstGenPGT]

hard to believe... 1941!

[NinJutsuDude1997]

Looney Tunes are on Cartoon Network! 6AM and 12PM!

[tkasich1]

Remember people: The Tortoise ALWAYS wins.

And Bugs is pissed as hell about it.

[andrewparrot21]

you know? it's very curious the footage shows Cecil wining fair and square, when actually in the original short (Tortoise Beats Hare, Avery, 1941), Cecil defeats Bugs by cheating. But anyway, cartoons usually don't have continuity.

[MrDrawingboard1]

That's not the Bugs Bunny we know.

[fallsnative]

@MrDrawingboard1

This is the original bugs, from the late 40s. 

[NinJutsuDude1997]

@MrDrawingboard1 He's the mean spirited, egotistical Daffy Duck (and Daffy didn't become that until around the Duck/Rabbit Season arc, or before that thanks to Chuck Jones).

[R3dChampi0n]

@MrDrawingboard1 no duh sherlock, its an old model

[queenahmose]

As ClassicTVMan said, the title of this episode is wrong. It's Tortoise Wins By a Hare.

[gottacatchemnone]

Did they's suicide?

[MicrosoftWindowsGuy]

Wow! Look at some of the headlines on the paper at 3:45! Especially in the lower right titled "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide."

I've been looking for this episode forever... thanks!

[OldsVistaCruiser]

@MicrosoftWindowsGuy - Wow! "Adolph Hitler commits suicide" - I never noticed that before! It's not the first time Termite Terrace was prophetic in that era (for those historically-challenged, Hitler DID commit suicide 4 years later).

In "Falling Hare", they predicted 9/11 decades before it happened. A gremlin was flying a plane toward two twin towers, and Bugs saved the day with a victory roll at the end as he seized control of the plane.

[OldsVistaCruiser]

Actually, Hitler's suicide was 2 years later on April 30, 1945. Of course, I was thinking at half past 5 in the morning that this was the first of the Cecil trilogy, not the second.

[SulliMike241]

@MicrosoftWindowsGuy Funny how that newspaper predicted the end of Hitler.

[TrojanManTube]

@MicrosoftWindowsGuy ...and the ending! Wow! Line up in a row and commit suicide with one bullet.

[2003MARSSKILLS]

@MicrosoftWindowsGuy Wow! All these years, and I never noticed that before!

[elyusai1]

@MicrosoftWindowsGuy Prophesied...

[fallsnative]

"Clean living friend, clean living...."

[fallsnative]

Classic Cartoon! Thanks for posting.

[DaveWollenberg]

Ehhh...NOW he tells us! Blam! Too bad the gamblin' ring committed suicide, right, gang? God bless! Hugs to ya, for postin' it! Hard to believe that Cecil pronounced the word as 'eye-ther'.

[KZN02]

3:46 - Bottom Right: Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide. And this cartoon was made before the actual event!

[pwrofrob]

@KZN02 ...wow, good catch!

[fromthesidelines]

I think 'BringBugsBack' might have been confused by stock footage from "Tortoise Beats Hare" appearing at the beginning of the story. Yep, this is definitely Bob Clampett's work, not Tex Avery's. Bob was usually the one who had a character shoot themselves after seeing something "outrageous" {"Now I've seen EVERYTHING!!"} or commiting a major blunder {"NOW he tells us!!"}.

[moserr11]

toitle! wabbit! Toitle! Wabbit! TOITLE! WAAAAABIT! TOOOIIIITLE!!! WAAAABIIIIT!

Classic!!

[taowergirl739]

now he knows how daffy feels when someone else takes the spot light

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

This is actually "Tortoise Wins by a Hare" (1943).
