Eyes on the Earth

Bugs Bunny opens a hatch on a spaceship. His eyes react. These drawings are one per frame.



What does Bugs see? The Oit disappearing into the distance.



This is from 1948’s Haredevil Hare, the debut of the little Martian and his dog (both with helmets and skirts like the Roman god Mars. The unnamed Martian has a different voice than in later cartoons.

Phil Monroe, Ben Washam, Ken Harris and Lloyd Vaughan are the animators with Bob Gribbroek designing Mars and Pete Alvarado painting it.

  1. I believe Pete Burness also does some uncredited animation on this one, particularly the whole sequence with the "Crunchy Munchies" bit and the dog trying to swipe the "space modulator" away from Bugs.
