		Tortoise: It's called the 'Tortoise' because of the story of the tortoise and the hare, and also after the old Roman legionary formation of the same name, whose main purpose was to defend.
		Though in the old story the tortoise beats the hare, the pure Tortoise style isn't necessarily more powerful in and of itself than Blitzkreig; in fact, it is probably the opposite, even though it's designed to bring Blitzkreig strategies down (we'll explain in a minute).
		If you try a pure Tortoise style, you probably won't be too successful (except maybe in scenarios centered around collecting a target daily profit), because you won't have the commercial backing necessary to give your empire any real value.

	Looney Tunes - Golden Collection, Volume Two Disk 1 at the Animated Word
		Tortoise Beats Hare was the first in a trilogy of cartoons featuring the indomitable Cecil Turtle.
		I suppose the same could be said about Clampett's FALLING HARE; although neither Bugs nor the mischievous gremlin who torments him throughout the cartoon comes to a bad end at the fade-out--they simply run out of gas before the plane they're about to crash ever touches the ground.
		HYDE AND HARE is one of three cartoons Freleng directed that parodies the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

	Bugs Bunny History
		Bugs Bunny's origin was as a goofy antagonist for Porky Pig in the Warner Bros. cartoon Porky's Hare Hunt (1938), directed by Cal Dalton and Ben "Bugs" Hardaway, for whom the hare is named.
		Plotwise, it was virtually a repeat of the previous year's Daffy Duck intro, Porky's Duck Hunt, Back then, (our) Bugs was much smaller and more rabbit-like, and completely white but in wit, resourcefulness, and the sheer relish with which he demolished his antagonist, he very much resembled his later self.
		He continued to appear on television, not just in packages of cartoons sold to local TV stations and on his network Saturday morning show, but also in commercials advertising a variety of products.

		The closest the rabbit approaches to the Trickster is in his tale of The Tortoise and the Hare, where the two creatures decide to have a race to determine who is the faster.
		The Tortoise agreed, but said he as too tired that day and it would have to be the next morning.
		All This and Rabbit Stew is rarely shown anymore, because the hunter is an unfortunate caricature of a fl man. Although it was the last of Avery’s Warner cartoons to be released, that was surely a fluke (it originally didn’t have his name on it).

		AESOP was a fabled fabler and his number one hit was the tale of a tortoise and a hare.
		The hare ran off into the distance but persistence paid off for the old tortoise and he came home the winner of the race.
		Juan Pablo was obviously in a league of his own but the BMW engine failed under him and so it was left to Ralf to win the race.

	THE FILM FREAK CENTRAL LOONEY TUNES PROJECT - DVD
		For crackerjack timing, Shrek 2 can't hold a candle to this fractured fairy tale, which also happens to be, along with Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves and that Christina Ricci kiddie-porn ballet, one of the stickiest modern adaptations of the oft-told fable.
		Alternate Audio - Tortoise Beats Hare: Commentaries from Chuck Jones and Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age author Michael Barrier confirm how difficult it was to reconcile a scenario in which the fundamentally invincible Bugs emerges a loser.
		If Slick Hare was the inspiration for Who Framed Roger Rabbit's Ink and Paint Club, then Finster must be the antecedent to Baby Herman--and regardless of Finster's biological age, the image of him pointing a gun at Bugs, his "guardian," perfectly encapsulates the anxiety surrounding juvenile delinquency at the time.

	TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
		Probably the most significant of the 60 or so cartoons that Tex Avery directed during his tenure at Warner Bros., A Wild Hare (1940) was the cartoon in which the personalities of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd were finally solidified.
		When Warner Bros. saw by 1940 that they had a major cartoon star on their hands in the form of a Bunny named Bugs, it must've only seemed natural to arrange for a face-off between this hare and a tortoise character.
		Sure enough, the following year brought Tortoise Beats Hare (1941), from director Tex Avery, his follow-up to A Wild Hare (1940), the cartoon in which he established the classic Bugs persona after several other directors took a shot.

		One young girl told an outlandish story about the tortoise calling up all his friends and tricking the rabbit.
		It was from an old “Merry Melodies” cartoon called “The Tortoise Beats the Hare.” What we thought was humorous was actually a word for word telling of Bugs Bunny’s version!

		Filled with funny sight gags (look for the excellent variation on the old "in one door and out another" routine) and hysterically funny line readings by Red, this short is a real gem.
		Another memorable short on disc one is "Slick Hare." Set in a Hollywood nightclub, the "Mocrumbo," this classic features caricatures of film royalty, including Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck, Ray Milland, and the Marx Brothers.
		Jones' commentaries were created from old interviews, and some of the other commentaries feature snippets of interviews with other Looney Tunes personnel.

		And the moral is the same: slow and steady wins the race.

		As with Volume One, I won’t even try to begin to highlight each and every cartoon on the four discs that make up the new collection — the sheer anticipation and fan-hunger surrounding this release means that you already know if you want it (you do) and what the shorts packed in are.
		Somehow, I managed to sit through this collection of fantastic cartoons in one sitting, though I would very much recommend taking longer to go through the set and savor the many layers that the discs offer.
		It’s an exhaustive set, and well worth any animation nut’s time and hard earned cash, perfectly complimenting last year’s Volume One and even perhaps beating it in the selection of classic shorts, if not the extras (which one has to admit were pretty tough to top).

		When Bugs meets other characters who are also "winners", however, like Cecil the Turtle in Tortoise Beats Hare, or, in World War II, the Gremlin of Falling Hare, his record is rather dismal; his overconfidence tends to work against him.
		Bugs Bunny has some similarties to figures from mythology and folklore, and might be seen as sort of modern trickster.
		The story was based on a fable by Aesop and cast Max against Toby Tortoise, and won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film for 1934.
