Compressed Hare is a 1961 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble.[1] The short was released on July 29, 1961, and stars Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote.[2] This is the final first-run Golden Age short in which Wile E. Coyote speaks, although he speaks again in the Adventures of the Road Runner featurette a year later.

Plot

In the narrative involving Wile E. Coyote and Bugs Bunny, a sequence of comedic encounters unfolds as Coyote endeavors to capture and prepare Bugs Bunny as a meal. The plot initiates with Coyote's subtle ploy, leaving a telephone in Bugs Bunny's hole and soliciting a cup of diced carrots. Bugs, perceptive to Coyote's intentions, engages in a playful exchange before finding himself ensnared by Coyote's attempts to capture him.

Coyote's subsequent endeavors to ensnare Bugs Bunny involve a series of contrived traps, each met with humorous misfortune. From vacuum cleaners mistaken for prey to quick-drying cement mishaps, the comedic tension escalates as Coyote's schemes backfire, culminating in his unwitting entrapment beneath a concrete block. Bugs Bunny, ever resourceful, capitalizes on Coyote's misfortune with witty quips, asserting his prowess as a neighbor.
