Falling Hare

Falling Hare is a 1943 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Bob Clampett. The cartoon features Bugs Bunny. In this film, Bugs Bunny tries to prevent the wrecking of an American military aircraft by a gremlin. The setting is a base of the United States Army Air Forces. The film's finale explicitly refers to wartime rationing in the United States. This is one of the few Bugs Bunny cartoons to have entered into the public domain, as in 1971, United Artists, the copyright holder for most of the pre-1950s Warner Bros. cartoons at the time, did not renew the copyright. Despite being in the public domain, the film's usage is restricted as a derivative work of the still copyrighted A Wild Hare, which will enter the public domain in 2036.
