No Parking Hare

Hilarious Bugs Bunny short, directed by Robert McKimson, serves as a follow-up of sorts to Homeless Hare. Bugs fights "progress" as a construction crew works to build a freeway that would go right through Bugs' home. So it's Bugs versus a burly arrogant construction worker or, looking at the big picture, the individual versus the state. In reality we all know how these situations usually work out but, since this is a cartoon, we get to see the little guy win. Which is just awesome, if you ask me. It's a very funny and smart cartoon with many great gags and lines. The construction goon makes a fine villain for crafty Bugs. The animation is beautiful with nicely-drawn characters and backgrounds. I really love the colors in this. Great voice work from Mel Blanc and John T. Smith. Carl Stalling's lively music is always appreciated. It's a fun cartoon that I have always enjoyed. I think it's one of McKimson's best Bugs shorts.
