This really isn't Bugs's personality. It's a good thing Red Hot Ryder isn't really a human, but just a dumb little schmuck. If he were human, that poor guy would've been in tears before the film was half over. The "Arkansas Traveler" sequence--where Bugs uses a magnet to undo Red's pants--is the real topper. If you think I'm overreacting, I've got animation historian Mike Barrier, and a few others, to back me up re Bugs's character here.
I'm docking this one by an extra star for Clampett's continual hogging of the credit for having created Yosemite Sam with this cartoon--a claim which both Friz Freleng and Michael Maltese (the REAL creators of the character, in 1945's "Hare Trigger") have vehemently denied.
