It stars [[Bugs Bunny]] and it is the debut for [[Marvin the Martian]] &mdash; although he is unnamed in this film &mdash; along with his Martian dog, [[K-9 Looney Tune|K-9]]. All the voices are done by [[Mel Blanc]]. Marvin's nasal voice for this first film is different from the later one he is most known for, which was similar to one that Blanc used for the emcee in ''[[What's Cookin' Doc?]]'', for just one line, where the emcee says, "Shall we give it to him, folks?" The title is a play on "daredevil", although it has only a vague metaphorical connection to the plotline, as Bugs is a reluctant participant in the cartoons acrobatics. The cartoon was directed by [[Chuck Jones]] and written by long-time accomplice [[Michael Maltese]]. It was animated by Ben Washam, Lloyd Vaughan, Ken Harris and Phil Monroe, with effects animation by A.C. Gamer. The music was scored by [[Carl Stalling]] and the backgrounds painted by [[Pete Alvarado|Peter Alvarado]], with layouts by [[Robert Gribbroek]]. This was also the latest-released WB cartoon to be purchased by [[Associated Artists Productions]] for distribution; marking the end of the so-called "pre-August 1948" era for Warner Bros. cartoons (it was also the only Marvin the Martian cartoon to be sold to a.a.p., all others were retained by WB). It is also the latest-produced a.a.p.-owned WB cartoon to have been originally released in [[Technicolor]], a few that were produced later were released in [[Cinecolor]]. This cartoon appears on disc 3 of the [[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1]] DVD set. ==Summary== [[File:K-9.png|thumb|200px|left|[[K-9 (Looney Tunes)|K-9]] thinks he shows Bugs a thing or two by mistakenly letting him take the Uranium Pu-36 back away from him.]] Chosen to be the first rabbit shot into [[space]], Bugs is literally dragged to the launching pad. He protests in panic, but becomes more cooperative when he learns the [[rocket]] is loaded with [[carrots]]. When he lands on the [[moon]] he panics, but soon finds an unnamed [[Martian]] (later known as Marvin) set to blow up planet [[Earth]] using [[Uranium| Uranium Pu-36]]. Bugs steals the [[uranium]] but soon has to deal with Marvin's space [[dog]], who tries to retrieve it. In one of Bugs Bunny's classic word [[switcharoos]], he successfully gets the uranium back. This prompts an angry Marvin to [[berate]] and scold his dog. Bugs quickly arrives as a [[Mars]] delivery boy with another stick of uranium (actually [[dynamite]]) which Marvin uses on his explosive rocket. Bugs now has a problem as he's unable to leave the moon, having blown it up and reduced it to a [[crescent]] (from which he, Marvin and the dog precariously hang) to thwart the Martian. When the technicians contact him, asking for a statement to the press, he screams "'''GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''" ==Running gag== * A running gag of a planet being blown up leaving only a little bit left along with Marvin the Martian and a hero and sidekick is in 1953 [[Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century]]. ==See also== * [[Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography (1940–1949)]] * [[List of Bugs Bunny cartoons]] ==External links== * [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040422/ Haredevil Hare] at [[Internet Movie Database]] {{S-start}} {{Succession box | before= [[Bugs Bunny Rides Again]] | title= [[List of Bugs Bunny cartoons|Bugs Bunny Cartoons]] | years= 1948 | after= [[Hot Cross Bunny]]|}} {{S-end}} [[Category:1948 films]] [[Category:Looney Tunes shorts]] [[Category:Films directed by Chuck Jones]] [[ca:Haredevil Hare]] [[es:Haredevil Hare]] [[fr:Haredevil Hare]] [[pt:Haredevil Hare]]'
