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
The first of three races with Bugs and Cecil
All of the Bugs vs. Cecil cartoons are extremely good, while Rabbit Transit was the one that introduced me to that lovable turtle Cecil(despite the fact this is the actual cartoon that introduces him), Tortoise Wins by a Hare is my personal favourite. From the title, you may already know how Tortoise Beats Hare ends, but the cartoon begins brilliantly and originally while the final gag is actually amusing. The story is well done, the animation is excellent(even if Bugs looks a little different having longer ears for example), the music is rousing and bouncy, the dialogue is witty and sharp and the sight gags are a real joy. Not to mention Bugs and Cecil having a great time together and individually, and Mel Blanc's vocals are superb. Overall, delightful. 9/10 Bethany Cox
