A Hare Grows in Manhattan A Hare Grows In Manhattan is a Warner Bros. cartoon in the "Merrie Melodies" series, released on March 22, 1947 and directed by Friz Freleng. It stars Bugs Bunny and a pack of bulldogs (one resembles Hector). Unlike many cases where "hare" is a pun on "hair", the title here is a pun on a then-recent book which figures into the climax of the cartoon (however, it does also contain a punning reference to what hair does: grow).

Jack the Giant Killer "Jack the Giant Killer" is an English fairy tale and legend about a plucky (presumably) young adult who slays a number of giants during King Arthur's reign. The tale is characterised by violence, gore and blood-letting. Giants are prominent in Cornish folklore, Breton mythology and Welsh Bardic lore. Some parallels to elements and incidents in Norse mythology have been detected in the tale, and the trappings of Jack's last adventure with the Giant Galigantus suggest parallels with French and Breton fairy tales such as Bluebeard. Jack's belt is similar to the belt in "The Valiant Little Tailor", and his magical sword, shoes, cap, and cloak are similar to those owned by Tom Thumb or those found in Welsh and Norse mythology.
