From Hare To Heir	comment	"From Hare to Heir" is a 1960 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, starring Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny.At the Bedlam Manor somewhere in Regency Era England, Sam, Duke of Yosemite, learns through one of his servants that his uncle the King will no longer be his benefactor. This does not sit well with Sam, as he fears the books are not going to balance as a result.By some strange turn of events, Sam is visited by a document bearer (Bugs) who states that he stands to receive a tidy sum of as high as a million pounds... so long as his temper stays serene.Bugs wastes no time testing Samâ€™s limits. Between a ridiculously lengthy dinner table, two loud songs, and hogging the bathroom, he does quite the number on the Duke.Some milestones in this cartoon: The first Warner Brothers cartoon whose "bull's-eye" opening card fades to black instead of crossfading into the title credits; The first Merrie Melodies end card to be marked "A Vitaphone release" (while the Looney Tunes cards would have the Vitagraph equivalent); The second Warner Brothers cartoon overall not to have the Vitaphone byline in the opening card (behind Mice Follies").

From Hare To Heir / int_12336d7d	type	Table Space
From Hare To Heir / int_12336d7d	comment	Table Space: As Bugs and Sam are eating at different ends of a very long table, Bugs frequently asks for various things, forcing Sam to walk all the way down to the far end of the table. Each time as he's walking all the way back to be seated, Bugs calls back for another item. This causes Sam to lose his temper, prompting Bugs to reduce 300 pounds (which makes Sam go into a rage-induced fit, adding 100 pounds more).

He saws through the floorboard just outside the bathroom and covers the opening, which is directly over a moat, with a rug. It goes as well as any other attempt on the critter.

From Hare To Heir / int_4951d1cd	comment	Rousing Lullaby: Yosemite Sam is kept awake by Bugs Bunny playing the piano. Since he stands to lose his inheritance if he loses his temper, Sam regains his composure and asks Bugs to play him Brahms' Lullaby to lull him to sleep. Bugs plays it â€” very loudly, on a bass drum with cymbals. Sam lies that he likes Bugs' music to keep him happy.

From Hare To Heir / int_aed65980	comment	All for Nothing: By the end of the cartoon, Sam has his temper under control, and shows Bugs by having his servants kick him in the butt, throw a pie in his face and hit him with a rolling pin. But then Bugs turns to the audience and says... Bugs not telling Sam that Sam has lost all of the Money is actually pretty smart. It gives him time to hightail it out of there before Sam can realize he lost all of the money and if Bugs told Sam that he is not getting any pounds, Sam would no doubt murder Bugs since Sam lost all of the money, meaning at this point, Sam would have NOTHING left to lose by NOT keeping his temper in check.

First, when he bursts through the door to haul Bugs out, he forgets about the opening. And second, when the bathroom becomes free, he makes a mad dash for Bugs right in front of that exact same hole. Both falls are punctuated by a stream of cursing.

The whole short was really just an excuse to have Sam lose his temper and swear a blue streak without offending the censors. Not that anyone's complaining.
