Review of Hare Force

Hare Force (1944)
You must remember this, a dog is still a dog, a rabbit is just a rabbit . . . .

Warning: Spoilers
"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".
