El Gran Cambio

Classic Bugs Bunny short directed by Frank Tashlin. Elmer Fudd is a mad scientist (!) with a very cool-looking laboratory. Elmer's trying to create a Jekyll & Hyde formula but needs a guinea pig to test it out on. Enter unwitting test subject Bugs. What a fun cartoon. Great voice work from Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan. Energetic music from Carl Stalling. The animation is excellent with dynamite action and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Beautiful Technicolor is always a plus. Lots of funny bits and lines in this one. Bugs and Elmer are in top form. The bear's a hoot, too. The only real flaw is that it ends rather abruptly.

I wish they would bring back all the original cartoons from the past.it is not violent to me.always made me laugh 😆 🤣.

Elmer Fudd is a mad scientist this time.He wants to use his "Jekyll and Hyde" potion but keeps failing with test animals.This potion would turn its victims into monsters.Elmer goes out to catch Bugs Bunny with his old fashioned rabbit trap.Bugs decides to humor him.Then a bear enters the lab and Elmer thinks the potion has worked and the bear is actually Bugs.Later Bugs mistakes the bear for Elmer.Hare Remover from 1946 is the last cartoon Frank Tashlin directed at Warner Bros.Mel Blanc sounds as good as Bugs Bunny as he always did.Same thing with Arthur Q. Bryan as Elmer Fudd.This Bugs Bunny has its moments, even though they did come up with better.But there are Bugs' famous quips, one being "I think Spencer Tracy did it much better.Don't you, folks?"

Hare Remover has a lot going for it, I agree the ending is somewhat abrupt, but everything else worked for me. The animation is really good, the characters are drawn very well and the backgrounds and colours are lush. The music by Carl Stalling is rousing and bounces along nicely, and Hare Remover is filled to the brim with razor sharp dialogue and plentiful sight gags such as the mistaken identity gag and any part involving the bear. Bugs is still arrogant and rascally, Elmer is still dim-witted yet lovable and the bear is suitably ferocious. Another strong asset is the brilliant voice acting of Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan. In conclusion, maybe not quite classic status, but very funny and hugely enjoyable. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Elmer is mixing chemicals in his little junior chemistry set "trying to make a normal character into a devilish fiend." We then see his head change in shape to a devil-like one with pointed ears. (I always suspected Fudd was a sadistic, evil punk!)

The first clever gag involves a test tube with his solution and the wild colors it turns, including plaid and barbershop rings, etc. "Rover," his experimental dog, must drink the stuff. Rover is chained up so bad this would have animal-right activists on his back in no time today. Fudd forces the liquid down the dog's throat. (Man, is this guy plain evil or what?)

When the dog freaks out and smashes through the front window and runs away, Elmer goes looking for another experimental animal. Who-know-who winds up (voluntarily) in his laboratory. And.....you know who turns the tables? Along the way, we get two cases of mistaken identity, and that turns out to be the big joke of the cartoon.

I enjoyed Bugs' line referring to the Spencer Tracy film version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Overall, this is "fair," clever in the one "identity" gag but annoying at times, too, with Fudd's abrasive and stupid laugh and carrying-on.
