"Hare Remover" question

[Bugsy-Kun]

Because i'm bored yesterday, i watch "Hare Remover" from the LTGC 3 and i notice something...

In the scene where Elmer holds Bugs in a happy way, the phrase that Elmer said was strangely cut by a other scene? Does the LTGC DVD's supposed to be uncut ike they said or it's just a mistake?

I know it's hard to understand but this strange cut shake me my head all night long

That mysterious "cut" that occurred when you watched "Hare Remover" has always been that way ever since it was released back in 1946. Behind the scenes politics are the reasons commently cited for that weird edit (i.e. Frank Tashlin, the director, was actually gone from the studio when this cartoon was released so they have may tampered around with his footage a little prior to completion). There are also speculations that "Hare Remover" was actually co-directed by another unknown director but I find that a little hard to believe.

Well thanks Matt for the info!!
I remember that's the last WB cartoon directed by this director.

Actually, it's the last cartoon, period, directed by Tashlin. After directing this, he found a loftier career writing and then directing live-action features. Some of his best remembered films as director include "Artists and Models", "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?", "Rock-a-Bye Baby", and "The Glass Bottom Boat". Tashlin's last foray into animation was the 1967 MGM cartoon, "The Bear That Wasn't", which Chuck Jones produced and directed and Tashlin co-produced. The short was actually an adaptation of Frank Tashlin's book of the same name (and I MUCH prefer this one-shot of Jones' to the vastly overrated "Dot and the Line". It's much more entertaining and worth watching.).

Interesting!! :)
I know that Tashlin directed some live-action movies after his cartoon short career. I think he's a unique and amazing director.

I second that! The man has directed some of the funniest, wackiest, expertly-timed, innovative, and all-around great cartoons of all time. My all-time favorites of his include "The Case of the Stuttering Pig", "Porky the Fireman", "Porky Pig's Feat", "Brother Brat", "Plane Daffy", "Booby Hatched", "The Unruly Hare", "Nasty Quacks", "Hare Remover", and his 1941 Columbia classic, "The Fox and the Grapes". That's a very impressive amount of work I've just listed.

I've only seen one of his live-action films as director ("The Glass Bottom Boat"). I'd love to see more but they seem to be unavailable in my area (I once tried to order "Artists and Models" online but it kept getting delayed and delayed until the video service just told me it wasn't available :mad: :rolleyes: ). Maybe some day...

Tashlin directed some stop motion animated cartoons after leaving Warners. One of the only remaining films, "The Lady Said No", (http://cartoonbrewfilms.com/ladysaidno) is available for download on Jerry Beck's and Amid Amidi's cartoonbrewfilms.com.

And that cut in "Hare Remover" is indeed weird. It looks like a line of dialog was removed. Probably due to the Hays Office.

Ummmm...:o It seems to have been forgotten that besides working on feature screenplays in 1945-'46, that Tashlin also went to the John Sutherland studio where he wrote and or directed three wax-puppet stop-motion toons ("The Lady Says No", "Choo Choo Amigo" and "Pepito's Serenade"). Though filmed in stop-motion, the actual animation was done first on paper by a regular animator then sent to the stop-motion guys. These films were released in '46. A little later Tash directed one last stop motion toon (something of a Christian one) entitled "The Way Of Peace" for the American Lutheran Church.

And although already mentioned, "The Glass-Bottom Boat" (MGM-1966) it should be noted that it featured animated titles.
