Which comedian voiced the March Hare?

The comedian who voiced the March Hare is Jerry Colonna.

Colonna was a prominent American comedian, radio personality, actor, and musician known for his eccentric delivery, wide-eyed expressions, and enormous moustache. Those comic qualities helped shape Disney’s energetic interpretation of the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland, released in 1951. He performs opposite Ed Wynn, who voiced the Mad Hatter.

The March Hare is one of Lewis Carroll’s best-known tea-party characters. His frantic behavior draws on the old expression “mad as a March hare,” a phrase associated with the breeding season of European hares. Carroll used that familiar saying to explain the character’s supposedly irrational conduct, while Disney amplified it through slapstick, repeated tea offers, and distracted movements.

Colonna’s role is sometimes mixed up with the other major Wonderland voices. Sterling Holloway voiced the Cheshire Cat, Richard Haydn voiced the Caterpillar, and Ed Wynn played the Mad Hatter. Colonna also supplied narration and voices for other Disney productions, including the “Casey at the Bat” segment of Make Mine Music.
