The Turtle and the Rabbit is a 1935 American animated short film directed by Wilfred Jackson .
action
Max Hare (= rabbit ) and Toby Tortoise (= turtle ) start a race. Toby is seen as a clear outsider and actually even the snails are faster than him. Max, on the other hand, is fast as the wind and soon out of sight. His clear superiority makes him arrogant. He lies down on the edge of the track to take a supposed nap, but in truth just waits for the new hope-giving Toby to overtake him, only to humiliate him again with a lightning-fast overtaking maneuver. A short time later, Max meets a group of young rabbit ladies whom he wants to impress. He plays baseball and tennis with himself and shoots an arrow, only to have the same arrow shoot an apple from his head like William Tell .
In the middle of what he was doing, he suddenly heard cheers. The turtle slowly but steadily approaches the target. Max throws kisses to the rabbit ladies and hurries towards the goal. Toby, however, mobilizes his last strength and reaches the goal shortly before the surprised rabbit - the enthusiastic crowd carries the turtle away on their hands.
