“Devil May Hare”, a Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoon was released on June 19th, 1954. This theatrical cartoon was directed by Robert McKimson, and starred Mel Blanc playing the voices of Bugs Bunny, Tasmanian Devil, and the turtle. In addition, Herman Cohen, Phil DeLara, and Rod Scribner are some of the other animators involved in the creation of “Devil May Hare.” In this cartoon, Bugs Bunny is about to get attacked by the Tasmanian Devil just as he is looking in the encyclopedia and finds him in it. This cartoon, in fact, is the Tasmanian Devil’s first appearance in Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoons. Bugs Bunny gets himself into this mess because he offers to help the disheveled Tasmanian Devil find his dinner. The following quote illustrates Bugs’ realization that Tas is in fact a threat and danger to him. “Q..R..S..T, Tasmanian…Here it is! ‘A strong, murderous beast, jaws powerful as a steel trap- eats lions, elephants, giraffes, mooses, ducks..” The Tasmanian Devil then appears next to him and interjects, “and Rabbits”. This is when Bugs Bunny realizes that he is in danger and that the Tasmanian Devil could in fact potentially attack and eat him! This cartoon is released on both VHS as well as DVD. It was released on DVD on the Looney Tunes – The Spotlight Collection Volume 1(Premiere Edition).
