Trivia
The actual Sputnik satellite, launched the year before this short, resembles the space vehicle that hits Bugs and takes him to Mars. The Sputnik was actually a very small sphere with antennas. It had a diameter of 22 inches and weighed just 184 pounds.

Goofs
Marvin creates three creatures to capture Bugs. Bugs disposes of one by tricking it via the scooter type vehicles, but then runs into three creatures when there should only be two left.

The creature drives off the edge of the platform and drops into space, but like the myriad of characters in the cartooniverse, he reappears almost immediately in the next scene. Nearly every character in the Warner Bros. canon (and many others) has the ability to do this. Marvin's creature is no different.

Quotes
Marvin the Martian: Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

Connections
Edited from Jumpin' Jupiter (1955)

Soundtracks
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
(uncredited)
from the French melody "Ah ! vous dirai-je, Maman" (music first published 1761)

A true classic and favorite

Bugs awakens from a rather exhausting night (and he'll never mix radish-juice and carrot-juice again, that's for sure) and heads up the rabbit hole to take a bath. However, what he doesn't realize is that a rocket has been placed over his hole, and Bugs accidentally has climbed inside! After realizing what's going on, Bugs arrives at Mars. While trying to find a way home, he runs into Marvin the Martian, who is planning on destroying the Earth with his illudium Q-38 explosive space modulator! What follows is a classic chase-scene involving Bugs and a mob of dehydrated Martians. This has got to be one of my favorite all-time classic cartoons, not to mention the real start of Marvin the Martian's career (he had been in one other cartoon before this, but this is where Chuck Jones truly developed the Martian we all know today). And now if you don't mind, I have to run for the hills before I'm up to my armpits in Martians!!!
