Bugs Bunny 107 Oily Hare

Oily Hare is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short, released in 1952, directed by Robert McKimson, written by Tedd Pierce, and starring Bugs Bunny. The title is a pun on oily hair, as with the earlier cartoon Slick Hare, along with the plotline actually having to do with oil. The plot is similar to the short The FairHaired Hare, which was released one year earlier and features Orville (Yosemite Sam s brother) as Bugs antagonist. Oily Hare also recycles the same ending where Bugs home is filled with explosives and blown up. Along Highway approximately 531 miles from Dollar, Texas and near Deepinahearta, Texas, Bugs rabbit hole in Deepinahola, Texas upsets oil tycoon Orville, who sounds and acts like Yosemite Sam, because it is not producing any oil.
