Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the early 1940s Walt Disney was developing a feature film based on Roald Dahl's book "Gremlin Lore", and asked the other studios to refrain from producing gremlin films. While most of the studios complied, Warner Bros. already had two cartoons too far into production--this cartoon and Russian Rhapsody (1944). As a compromise, Leon Schlesinger re-titled the cartoons to remove any reference to gremlins. The original title was "Bugs Bunny and the Gremlin". Ultimately, the Disney film was not produced or released.
- GoofsThe Gremlin only starts one engine on the plane even though there are 2 engines.

[as the plane hurtles to a certain doom, the plane suddenly coughs and sputters, and stops a few feet off the ground]
The Gremlin: Sorry, folks. We ran out of gas.
Bugs Bunny: Yeah, you know how it is with these "A" cards.

A Different Kind of Bugs Short
Falling Hare (1943)
*** (out of 4)
World War II produced short has Bugs Bunny reading a book warning that there are "gremlins" out there who want to harm America. Bugs laughs this idea off but before long he's being beaten and abused by a gremlin.
FALLING HARE isn't what I'd consider a "classic" short but it's certainly rather unique. Many of the famous cartoon characters from this era were put into wartime shorts where they battled Germany, Hitler and various others. This film is certainly unique since we get to see Bugs taking the abuse that he normally hands out to other people. Obviously there's a "warning" message in the film and it comes across very well. Overall this is a fun short that has some great animation and a rather good storyline. The film is missing the laughs that you get with a normal Bugs short but it's still very much worth watching.
