CECIL IS A TORTOISE, NOT A TURTLE! IS HIS DEBUT EPISODE CALLED TURTLE BEATS HARE? NO! HE'S A TORTOISE! -- Wack'd About Wiki 14:33, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Is that bit at the end of the Tortoise wins by a hare accurate, or just vandalism? I live in the united states, and so for all i know it could be true, but i just find it hard to believe that they would include mass suicide in a cartoon. 12.218.144.63 01:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
An earlier edit using language like "they all look identical to Bugs" was changed because turtles don't look like rabbits. I intended to say that they appear identical to each other to Bugs, who enters the episode unfamiliar with turtles. But I'll grant that Wahkeenah's "they all look like Cecil" is probably better wording. -- Damian Yerrick ( talk | stalk) 05:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
...is a shorthand way of saying that the film ends and a black circle comes in and closes out the picture (much like the iris of the eye, or of a camera). Many films and cartoons end this way. The term is used in various film books, such as the Beck / Friewald book, Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, a highly detailed encyclopedia of the WB cartoons that is a secondary source for much of the material in wikipedia about the WB cartoons. Wahkeenah 03:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I fixed the order of some of the plot points in "Tortoise Beats Hare." The old version had Cecil phoning for help right after making the bet with Bugs, but he actually makes the call after the start of the race. I also removed references to the other turtles as Cecil's cousins/relatives, since they are never referred to that way in the cartoon. (Maybe all turtles just look alike to us, as well as to Bugs?) 96.252.89.97 ( talk) 05:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.252.89.97
The article needs a pic of Cecil with his shell on. Can anyone with a TV-in box and a video of "Tortoise Beats Hare" get a pic of the scene where Cecil phones Chester? You can adapt the rationale from the existing "naked Cecil" pic. -- Damian Yerrick ( talk | stalk) 00:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
