When the first mission to the moon is announced, Bugs Bunny volunteers to `man' the rocket and be the first to set foot there. When he arrives however, he is joined by a rocket from Mars that has also come to the moon for the first time. However the alien has come to use the moon as a base to attack the earth as opposed to exploration.
I usually quite like the Mars based cartoons but occasionally they will be too simple - requiring too much set up before the jokes start. That is sort of the case here; the cartoon has to explain why Bugs is on the moon in the first place and so on. The short then sees Bugs trying to foil the alien attack on earth but this isn't very funny. The antics don't really have any imagination and nothing really happens of note.
The characters are also quite weak. Bugs is OK, as he always tends to be however the alien is really poor. I don't know what's up with his voice, but he doesn't sound as sharp or as `good' as he usually does (awful use of words there, sorry!). The dog is just a clown rather than a character.
Overall this is amusing but none more than that. It lacks imagination and wit; just going through the motions at times without really pushing it. It's a shame because the setting of space should open it up for all sorts of crazy antics but it doesn't work here.
