Trivia
This cartoon debuts a number of changes to the opening and closing titles of Warner Bros. cartoons:
The copyright byline now says "Warner Bros. Pictures Inc." instead of "The Vitaphone Corp."
The cross-fade from the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies card to the cartoon title is, on most cartoons, replaced with a fade to black.
The credits on most cartoons are now done in Dom Casual instead of futura.
On the end card, underneath "A Warner Bros. Cartoon," "A Vitagraph Release" (Looney Tunes) or "A Vitaphone Release" (Merrie Melodies) appears.

Goofs
When Bugs is playing Brahms' Lullaby near Sam's room, we hear him singing to the music, but his mouth isn't moving.

Quotes
Bugs Bunny: [playing on the piano and singing loudly] I dream of Jeanie, she's a light brown hare!
[Sam is trying to sleep, but Bugs' singing and piano playing disturb his sleep]
Yosemite Sam: [screaming] STOP THAT MUSIC, YA CRAZY RACKIN'-FRACKIN' VARMINT RABBIT!
Bugs Bunny: [offended] Well! That should be worth, eh, £400.
Yosemite Sam: [calming down] I was only kidding. How about singing me to sleep with that "Brahms' Lullaby"? What do you say, Frankie boy?
Bugs Bunny: Well, maybe.

May this happen to all the world's loose cannons!

"From Hare to Heir" has got to be one of the Looney Tunes cartoons that most makes me feel like I'm going to laugh myself to death. After Sam, Duke of Yosemite, sees his allowance cut off, Bugs Bunny makes him an offer to inherit an 100 million pounds if he keeps his temper; if he gets mad, he loses money. Well, knowing that Sam is the loosest of loose cannons, you can probably guess what happens!

I just start cracking (rackin' frackin') up whenever I think about Sam blurting out some angry rant, and then Bugs deducts some money, and Sam gets even more infuriated. And the whole gag with the hole in the floor? I can probably never imagine how much fun they had creating that! It just goes to show that these cartoons may have been the greatest ones ever created, and they will never get old. Got that, varmint?

PS: "From Hare to Heir" was used in the compilation film "Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island".
