Bunny or Hare
Permalink   


You know... the first time Bugs Bunny appear on tv, WB said he was a Hare (Hare and bunnies are not the same)... after people said he was a bunny.

To say true, Bugs Bunny is a hare and Lola is a bunny (you can see the difference in Space Jam)... the question is... do you think Ace is a bunny or a hare...

That question born when I saw the hunter, and some people call him bunny and others call his rabbit (all people call Lexi bunny, so she must be a bunny)... but in the origins of Bugs Bunny... he was a hare

So is a bunny or a hare???

Massive... I think it was Massive, called Ace a rabbit.

And then Ace "corrected" him, by saying it's Bunny! XD

Bugs Bunny was a hare.

Hares and rabbits are not the same.
Bunnies and rabbits however ARE the same animal.

'Bunny' is just a cutesy word for rabbit, and is often used for baby rabbits, much like the word 'kitty' for very young cats.

'Rabbits are often known affectionately by the pet name bunny or bunny rabbit, especially when referring to young, domesticated rabbits. Originally, the word for an adult rabbit was coney or cony, while rabbit referred to the young animals. Coney was abandoned as a term for the animal after it was co-opted in the eighteenth century as a synonym of a really voulgar word. More recently, the term kit or kitten has been used to refer to a young rabbit. Young hares are called leverets, and this term is sometimes informally applied to any young rabbit. Male rabbits are called bucks and females does.'

Maybe Ace corrects everyone when he's called 'rabbit' because he's proud to be Bugs Bunny's descendant (or most likely the writers simply wanted to underline his origins). That or he wants to be called by his last name by his enemies and those he doesn't really like in general, instead of being referred to as the animal, so he corrects them.

In my country that was translated differently in fact. Massive calls him 'hare' and he shots back saying 'wrong, I'm a rabbit!'.

In spanish there's Conejo and Liebre. In school they teach us that conejo is bunny and Liebre is Rabbit (when Liebre is hare)... I will change that... is funny how is the language n_n

Welcome. They don't always teach correctly in schools, do they? XP Happens here as well.

Rabbit here is 'coniglio' and hare is 'lepre'. Don't you love the similarties in our languages? X3

You'd think French would follow the same pattern since all three are Latin-based, and it does for 'hare' - 'lièvre'.  A rabbit, however, is 'lapin'.

is in the pronunciation... maybe you don't see it when we write lièvre and lapin but in the pronunciation you can "see it"

Skifox, tas appris le français a l’école ou tu viens d’une famille qui parle le français ???

Hmm, Ace does seem particular about being referred to as a bunny, but like you've all been saying, bunnies and rabbits are the same thing. I think Ace just wants to drive home the fact that he's a Bugs Bunny descendent.

Stella:  Did you mean not seeing a rabbit/hare difference in Space Jam?  If so, I'd have to agree with you.  Hares are bigger, have proportionally longer ears, and live above ground rather than in burrows, but I don't think the distictions carry over much to cartoon characters.

Tyr:  Je l’ai appris en lycée.  J’étais presque à l’aise en français, mais après deux ans en université sans vrai practice, je sais que j’ai perdu beaucoup. ;_;

B_O:  It's also pretty traditional for species to become the surname in cartoons, so to Ace, it's probably more than just a species issue.  'Ace Bunny' is his name, so he gets annoyed at being called 'Rabbit' just like you or I would if someone fouled up our names.

In one MM short, Elmer Fudd brought Bugs Bunny in a pet shop so I'll vote "Bunny".

wildhare.jpg



A Wild Hare (rereleased as The Wild Hare) is a Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies animated short film. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, directed by Tex Avery, and written by Rich Hogan. It was originally released on July 27, 1940. A Wild Hare is considered by many film historians as the first "official" Bugs Bunny cartoon. Various directors at the Warner Bros. cartoon studio had been experimenting with cartoons focused on a hunter pursuing a rabbit since 1938, with varied approaches to the characters of both rabbit and hunter. A Wild Hare is noteworthy as the Bugs Bunny's true cartoon, as well as for settling on the classic voice and appearance of the hunter, Elmer Fudd. The design and character of Bugs Bunny would continue to be refined over the subsequent years, but the general appearance, voice, and personality of the character were established in this cartoon. The rabbit is unnamed in this film, but would be christened "Bugs Bunny" in his very next short, Elmer's Pet Rabbit, directed by Chuck Jones. The opening lines of both characters—"Be vewy, vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits" for Elmer, and "Eh, what's up Doc?" for the rabbit—would become catchphrases throughout their subsequent films.


The basic plot of A Wild Hare, which centers on Elmer Fudd's hopeless pursuit of the much smarter Bugs, would serve as a template for many subsequent cartoons. In addition, many of the specific gags and plot devices in this cartoon became part of the template for later Bugs/Elmer confrontations, with subsequent shorts repeating them or varying them for comic effect. Examples include Elmer failing to recognise Bugs as a rabbit, Bugs kissing Elmer, and Bugs feigning death

I think WB don't know either if Bugs Bunny is a Hare or a Rabbit (and in Costa Rica you can buy a Hare from a petshop): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bugs_Bunny_cartoons

You can see that in many of his cartoons (more the first ones) he is called a Hare... and not only that... I read I don't remember where that Bugs have the name Bunny because they need something that match with the name Bugs and they didn't find a cazy name that match with Hare...

Bugs bunny last cartoon was in 1964 (the old type cartoon... becuase after that he did movies and things like that)... and the name of that cartoon is False Hare...

So... if Busg Bunny in his origines was a hare... that means that Ace is a hare... well... or have hare blood, because if Lola marry Bugs (and she is a bunny), that means that Ace and Lexi have hare and bunny blood...

But what happens if Lola never married Bugs... remember that cute gray hare with brown hair (for that time she was cute... now we see her old fashion)... maybe he married her and not to Lola... after all in the movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action he said something about having a female partner and that he didn't need her... (we can say that Lola and Bugs relationship didn't work)... and she only appeared after in the baby toones... no other cartoon... nobody mentioned her...

Maybe they broke up.

Maybe Lola ended up with something like this:

You brought up some excellent points, Tyranee! Moreover, kudos on the research; I learned quite a bit of history. In addition, I didn't know that it was possible to buy a hare at a pet shop.

Therefore, from the research that Tyranee conducted--It seems that Bugs is [was] a hare so most likely, Ace is a hare also. smile.gif

That's a marvelous story, Lumosnight! biggrin.gif

Thanks guys! I was starting to worry because I wasn't getting many reviews (I do prefer getting my reviews on FF.Net). There were practically no Daffy/Lola fics (except the M rated one "Daffy and Lola: Looniest Duet", but it's not written that well).

If Bugs was a hare, then that totally kills a major subplot in a fanfic I'm writing...TT^TT

So, I shall say that Bugs and Ace are rabbits.
