Mississippi Hare is a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.[1] The short was released on February 26, 1949, and features Bugs Bunny.[2]
Bugs Bunny, discovered slumbering amidst a cotton plantation, inadvertently embarks on a journey down the Mississippi River after being mistaken for cotton and bundled onto a riverboat. Assuming the guise of a distinguished gentleman to evade scrutiny, Bugs encounters Colonel Shuffle, a volatile riverboat gambler resembling Yosemite Sam. Engaging in a high-stakes poker game, Bugs outwits Shuffle, who subsequently challenges him to a duel. Through a series of comedic misadventures, including a flirtatious dance and a failed attempt at retribution, Shuffle is repeatedly thwarted by Bugs. Despite momentarily assuming a Southern belle persona to evade Shuffle's advances, Bugs ultimately emerges unscathed, jesting at the comedic potential of a romantic denouement.
