The hare emerges from his tent like a

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.

Short children's movie which highlights and delivers the moral more strongly than full length expensive movies

This movie teaches, in my opinion, one of the most important life lessons ever. Treating something like it is important involves rejecting disturbances no matter how tempting they might be. The Tortoise has become a sort of a coat-of-arms to me. The Hare on the other hand embodies all the typical flaws including being conceit.Being skillful and gifted means nothing unless we stay humble. Without humble character skills might even do us damage.In short, the moral is: Finish things once started. Work humbly.Watch this precious gem whenever you need to remind yourself on how to do your work. You may even become a child again for a moment.
