Yosemite Sam sets out to court Granny, having just learned she's inherited a fortune. Bugs steps in to put a stop to Sam's gold-digging scheme. A hilarious short with great characters doing what they do best. The scenes of Sam trying to woo Granny are priceless. The incomparable Mel Blanc is in rare form here. Bea Benaderet is terrific, as well. The music is lovely and the animation is very nice. The colors in this are just wonderful. Lots of funny gags and lines. "How many lumps" never gets old to me. For those who have a problem with the final scene, it's a bleeping cartoon about a talking rabbit. Open a window and get some fresh air, please.

I consider myself extremely fortunate, in that I have never been oppressed enough to have seen a cartoon edited for unsuitable material (or so the censors think). Bugs the boy scout does his good deed in delivering Granny, who is plagued by Yosemite Sam's dishonest affections. The funniest part of the cartoon is when Bugs dresses up as Granny and does Yosemite Sam some series hurt, which Yosemite isn't happy with at all. So, in wonderfully predictable style, the antagonist ends up taking out his rage on the real Granny, as he thought Bugs to be the elderly matron even when he'd received a bashing. There really isn't any excuse for editing this cartoon as it has been, and people should be able to enjoy it in its entirety.

As always, Yosemite Sam is itching to make a lot of money, even - make that especially - through dishonest means. When the loud-mouthed cowboy learns that Granny has inherited $50 million, he plots to marry her and cheat her out of the money. But Bugs Bunny overhears him and comes up with a neat way to interfere with the plan. Hint: it involves cross-dressing and the "How many lumps do you want?" routine.

I get the feeling that the Yosemite Sam cartoons acted as placeholders between the really famous cartoons. But even so, "Hare Trimmed" is still really funny. What happens at the end just goes to show that Bugs will probably spend his life single. When you think about it, that scene almost looked as if it was implying gay marriage! Friz Freleng probably didn't intend that, though.

Anyway, really funny.

What happened to Yosemite sam!!!!!he was called violent,but funny n goofy.i buy as much I can of acme shows,merry melodies, but I noticed some been cut.but more violence in gaming cartoons than ever.can anyone tell me where I can find original,huge fan.

I really liked the premise of Hare Trimmed; Yosemite Sam attempts to woo Granny for her inherited fortune and Bugs decides to make a good deed and stop it. This premise was intriguing and worked really well. Do I have any issues? Not really, perhaps a little too fast at times, but it is hugely enjoyable, but what was with the edited version? The original was fine as it was, why meddle with it. Very unnecessary if you ask me.

Back on target, the animation is nicely done and sharp, the sort of colours that you may find in a Pepe Le Pew cartoon, nice, traditional and sweet-looking. I especially loved the use of the purples and the pinks. The music also has some lovely romantic flavour to it. The dialogue sparkles, the sight gags delight and the characters intrigue. Bugs is hilarious here, and Yosemite Sam is on top form too, even if he has never struck me as a marrying type. As ever, Mel Blanc is excellent and Bea Benaderet is suitably sweet as Granny. Overall, very entertaining and well animated, and I prefer to think the edited version doesn't exist. 9/10 Bethany Cox
