Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title reads "Tortoise Beats Hare" even though Cecil's last name it Turtle, he is in fact a tortoise. A tortoise spends most of its time on land, where's a turtle spends most of its life in water. A tortoise shell is domed, where the turtle shell is more streamlined to create less resistance when swimming. Also their legs differ. Tortoises have thick stumpy legs made for walking. Turtles have webbing between their toes and have long claws.

Bugs Bunny: Why you... you little blankety-blank-blank toitle... how did... you did... I didn't...
Cecil Turtle: ...and "how" about my ten bucks?
Bugs Bunny: Oh, alright; here!
Bugs Bunny: [after he gives Cecil the money] Onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnineten! And I hope ya choke!
- Crazy creditsBugs Bunny walks out on screen and reads the credits aloud, mispronouncing all the names. He becomes furious when he finally reads the title proclaiming his defeat for the entire audience to see. He then rips up the title screen, and the background appears.

Featured review
Cecil be da million
Aesop's fable gets brought to life in the first pairing of Bugs Bunny and Cecil Turtle. I guess that you could say that Bugs Bunny has a tendency to let his ego get in the way of everything, especially since Cecil has friends in high - and low - places. A previous reviewer said that Tex Avery helped bring Bugs to his fullest potential here. I don't know whether I fully agree with that, but there's no doubt that Avery (or, as Bugs pronounces it: a-vary) had some neat ideas.
Anyway, the title explains how it ends. Some scenes in "Tortoise Beats Hare" were shown in the sequel "Tortoise Wins by a Hare". I suppose that no matter what happens, that'll never be all, folks. At least not for the Looney Tunes.
