"Tortoise Wins by a Hare" is a 1943 Bugs Bunny short, part of the Merrie Melodies series, and directed by Bob Clampett.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The short is a direct follow-up to Tortoise Beats Hare, and the second of the "Bugs Bunny vs. Cecil Turtle" trilogy. It begins with Bugs watching footage from "Tortoise Beats Hare" and going berserk from his loss and the accompanying wounded ego.In an effort to thwart him, Bugs disguises himself and discovers after a talk with Cecil that the turtle's natural streamlined shell allows Cecil greater speed. Bugs immediately constructs himself a metal shell, and challenges Cecil to a second race.Trouble brews, however, when the local rabbit mob, who have decided to bet money on the race, targets the "turtle", with Cecil disguising himself in a rabbit suit.

Ass in a Lion Skin: Both Bugs and Cecil dress as each other's species, although Cecil tricked Bugs into doing the latter by pretending it would make him faster.

Bowdlerization: The ending where the gambling ring shoots themselves after realizing that they've been trying to sabotage Bugs throughout the cartoon has been cut from most American TV prints.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Berserk Button: Bugs was already pissed from losing the last race. While looking into Cecil's secret, the Turtle points out that "Rabbits aren't very bright", instigating another race.

Aside Glance: While waiting for Cecil to open the door, Bugs briefly looks at the audience and pulls off his beard as if to say "It's me in disguise, folks!"

1-Dimensional Thinking: The mob exploits this by hastily painting a road stripe into a brick wall, which veers Bugs off the road into a head-on collision, and the mob uses this chance to stall him for time.
