Half-Fare Hare is a 1956 Merrie Melodies short directed by Robert McKimson.
Plot
Bugs Bunny boards the Chattanooga Choo Choo and finds two hobos, who look and act like Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton, from The Honeymooners. Ralph and Ed are starving, and when they set eyes on Bugs, they yell, "It's foooooood!"
Availability
- Streaming - HBO Max (restored)
- Blu-ray - Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection, Disc 2 (remastered and HD)
Censorship
- The CBS version of this cartoon cuts two scenes:[1]
- The scene where Norton hangs Bugs by his scarf on the wall of the boxcar (though the part where Norton offers to hang the scarf for Bugs was left in).
- The part after Ralph climbs out of the cauldron, looking like a boiled lobster, where Ralph shoves Norton's nose into the hot water.
- The ABC version also airs with these cuts, and the part where Norton offers to hang Bugs' scarf (which leads to Bugs being hung by his neck on the boxcar wall) was also cut.
Notes
- The cartoon features the song "Carolina in the Morning", rather than the more obvious choice "Chattanooga Choo Choo"; "Carolina in the Morning"'s faster melodic rhythm and emphatic downbeats complement the timing of the action in the cartoon.
- Production Number: 1414
- MPAA Number: 17549
