"The hare emerges from his tent like a boxing champion, the tortoise more like a lethargic geriatric - and the entire crowd assume this is a fait-accompli. Racing away, the hare even stops for a nap. His opponent politely tip-toes past him, only for him to be easily overtaken again and this time allowing the complacent hare time to flirt with some bunny girls watching from a wall, generally taking his victory as assured. He even plays himself at baseball and tennis and generally just shows off! Meantime, with just yards to go, the tortoise is approaching the finish line so the hare has to get a move on - else the unthinkable might happen! It's quickly paced if a little over-scored this animation, but the cocksureness of the hare and the steadfastness of the tortoise play out well in an engaging tale of never taking anything for granted - however confident you might be."
