Slick Hare is a 1947 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng. The film was released on November 1, 1947, and features Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. It parodies the Mocambo nightclub in Los Angeles—in the cartoon referred to as "The Mocrumbo". Mel Blanc voices Bugs, Arthur Q. Bryan voices Elmer Fudd and impressionist Dave Barry portrays Humphrey Bogart. The title is a pun on "hair", from an era when hair slicked down by oil was a popular fashion style for men.
Plot
The cartoon commences with a satirical portrayal of 1940s Hollywood luminaries indulging in culinary extravagance at the Mocrumbo club, replete with exaggerated antics and whimsical nods to Hollywood celebrities.
Amidst the glamorous milieu, Elmer Fudd, cast as a hapless waiter, encounters the formidable Humphrey Bogart, whose demand for fried rabbit sets off a chain of absurd events. Elmer's frantic quest for a rabbit leads him to an unwitting Bugs Bunny ensconced amidst crates of carrots, igniting a miscommunication that sees Bugs fleeing from the impending dinner invitation.
Bugs' escapades unfold in a series of comedic encounters, from disguising himself as Groucho Marx to a frantic pursuit through the eccentricities of a showbiz setting, including encounters with Carmen Miranda and Sydney Greenstreet.
As the tension mounts, Bugs' quick-witted antics and Elmer's hapless endeavors culminate in a chaotic climax, with pie-slinging antics and mistaken identities punctuating the farcical proceedings. Ultimately, Bugs' comedic prowess prevails, as he ingeniously assumes the role of Lauren Bacall's main course.

Production
Background artist Paul Julian visited the kitchen at the Mocambo, and based this cartoon's kitchen backgrounds on the unhygienic things he observed, later commenting in an interview: "I was so bloody revolted by it that I came back and made a documentary out of it!"
Reception
Cartoon voice actor Keith Scott writes, "One of the last of Warner Bros.' topical caricature cartoons, Slick Hare is much more accessible to a modern audience than some other entries in the movie-star parody genre. This is because Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd carry the comedy. With these two strong personalities in the foreground, the throwaway movie-star gags are more like the icing on a cake."
Home media
This cartoon can be found on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2.
The short is also an extra on the DVD release of the 1947 Humphrey Bogart film Dark Passage, available individually and as part of the Bogie & Bacall: The Signature Collection DVD boxed set.
