Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

. . . to warn America against computers with this animated short, TO HARE IS HUMAN. It turns out that Wile E. Coyote is an Early Adopter of the Univac Computer. However, before the conclusion of HUMAN Mr. Coyote gets blown up five times and crushed once. It develops that his Univac has been hacked by Bugs Bunny, turning Wile's life upside down. By the end of this episode, it's revealed that Bugs is Alan Turing (who won WWII by decoding the Nazi Enigma Machine), Edward Snowden, and the Dread Pirate Roberts, all rolled into one. A country that turns its financial system, record keeping, and national security over to computers deserves to be Terrorized back to Stone Age Anarchy by every pajama-clad Third World hacker clicking away in some tent, tee pee, igloo, or cave, Warner points out to America with HUMAN. However, tax dollars have been squandered for the past 60 years on public schools teaching fluff like sex and driver's education, rather than worthwhile subjects, such as Looney Tunes. Since you get what you pay for, Today's U.S. roads are clogged with bad drivers, our birth rate has never been lower, and computers lurk around every corner.

The second of Wile E Coyote's encounters with Bugs Bunny, and while not quite as funny as the first (the classic "Operation Rabbit"), it's still great fun and well worth watching. It gets off to a slow start, with Wile E -- having easily put the bag on Bugsy -- allows the rabbit to squeeze his out of the bag while he carries on a conversation with himself. But as soon as the coyote looks into that bag to see what Bugs has left him, the fun begins. This time, our self-styled genius relies on a giant computer -- "Univac, the Electronic Brain" -- to come up with ways to capture Bugs... and of course each idea ends with one barbecued coyote! Among the funniest gags is a pop-up carrot toaster -- which launches two hand grenades right into the face of our luckless predator. This cartoon even serves as a warning to us today, though it was made over half-a century ago. Wile E obeys every command from his electronic brain, even when it orders him to stand under a falling rock and "take his medicine".. kind of like motorists today will slavishly follow every twist and turn recommended by our GPS units -- to the point of driving right into the middle of a swamp! Of course, we have to hope our GPS units don't have the same internal mechanism that Wile E's computer does!

"To Hare Is Human" is a Warner Bros. cartoon directed by Chuck Jones that pairs Wile E. Coyote with.......Bugs Bunny! Quite an unusual combination, but it works. Just add a distinctive voice of elegance for the Coyote, and substitute Bugs for the Road Runner, and you've got it made.My favorite scenes: I love the opening, in which the Coyote introduces himself to Bugs and offers a long scholarly explanation about the advantages of his own brainpower, after which Bugs plants an explosive surprise for him and dances back towards his hole while singing "Sweet Georgia Brown". While the Coyote attempts to burglarize Bugs' hole, Bugs (reading in bed while wearing a bunny-eared nightcap) tosses a banana peel for the Coyote to slip on. The Coyote throws a stick of dynamite in Bugs' vacuum; Bugs climbs out of his hole (his ears tied together like a kerchief), dances a jig toward a trash can (where the Coyote awaits), and dumps the contents of his vacuum."To Hare Is Human", and to err is Coyote!

Sort of a sequel to "Operation: Rabbit", Chuck Jones's "To Hare Is Human" once again has an eloquent Wile E. Coyote trying to trap Bugs Bunny. Needless to say, Bugs always avoids harm, and WEC gets harmed in the process. But even more than that is how this cartoon represents what the baby boom generation grew up with. Bugs vacuums his rabbit hole with his ears tied up like a 1950s housewife, and he even owns a womb chair! Imagine that: Bugs Bunny as Laura Petrie (Mary Tyler Moore's character on "The Dick Van Dyke Show")! Not to mention that the Univac sounds like a 1950s product, and looks like an early computer.But maybe I'm reading too far into the cartoon. It was probably intended as pure entertainment, and it entertains. Worth seeing.
