Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title reads "Tortoise Beats Hare" even though Cecil's last name it Turtle, he is in fact a tortoise. A tortoise spends most of its time on land, where's a turtle spends most of its life in water. A tortoise shell is domed, where the turtle shell is more streamlined to create less resistance when swimming. Also their legs differ. Tortoises have thick stumpy legs made for walking. Turtles have webbing between their toes and have long claws.

Bugs Bunny: Why you... you little blankety-blank-blank toitle... how did... you did... I didn't...
Cecil Turtle: ...and "how" about my ten bucks?
Bugs Bunny: Oh, alright; here!
Bugs Bunny: [after he gives Cecil the money] Onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnineten! And I hope ya choke!
- Crazy creditsBugs Bunny walks out on screen and reads the credits aloud, mispronouncing all the names. He becomes furious when he finally reads the title proclaiming his defeat for the entire audience to see. He then rips up the title screen, and the background appears.

Featured review
Early, formative Bugs Bunny short
Although several Warner Brothers directors had a significant hand in the development of Bugs, the one most responsible for setting his personality as the rabbit we know and love (excepting maybe Daffy, Elmer and Yosemite Sam-they don't seem to care for Bugs much) was Tex Avery. This short was an early glimpse of the wascally wabbit as we know him today. Interestingly enough, Avery was responsible for creating Daffy and also the character who evolved into Elmer Fudd (Egghead), so Avery is very much a critical figure for two of the major studios as far as short animation goes. That's why I consider Tex Avery to be the best director of animated shorts and as seminal in their develoment as Walt Disney was to the animated feature film. Well worth seeing. Most recommended.
