Today, we file reports regarding aircraft malfunctioning with a different frame of mind than 80 years ago. In the WWII era, some people actually believed that gremlins might be responsible for mechanical failures, so that was great material for a 7 minute Warner Bros short featuring Bugs Bunny.
Bob Clampett directs & Warren Foster wrote this toon that’s very inspired by Tex Avery in a time where a lot of studios were also shooting bits about gremlins, so Warner retitled this toon to Falling Hare. Voiced by Mel Blanc, this gremlin takes a lot of his vocal inspiration from Lou Costello of the Abbott & Costello comedy team.
Carl Stalling has a rip-roaring musical score that quotes several songs that emphasize the over-the-top screwball comedy of the toon. This is one of the toons that failed to meet a copyright renewal deadline, so it fell into public domain & was used a lot, including for the Gremlins 2 movie.
