The Wabbit Who Came to Supper

An 8? Come on. This one deserves a ten. Friz Freleng did a wonderful job. Elmer inherits $1,000,000 from his uncle, but he doesn't get the money if he harms Bugs who makes this concept just about impossible. Classic scene when Bugs is outside Elmer's door pretending to freeze to death? Bugs: You know, this scene ought to get me the academy award.

It's still odd for me to watch these old Bugs Bunny cartoons and see an elongated Bugs and a huge Elmer Fudd. Nonetheless, that's what we get here as Elmer is racing through the forest with a shotgun after Bugs. By the way - what kind of hunting outfit is that: a bowler hat, reddish-pink shirt and green tie???!

Just as Bugs is about to get it, a telegram boy on a scooter arrives with a telegram for Elmer, stating that Uncle Louie is giving him three million dollars! But there is a "P.S." that says "You don't get one cent if hurt any animals, especially rabbits."

You just know Bugs, who is reading this over Elmer's shoulder, is going to make life miserable for him (at least in the next six minutes of this eight-minute cartoon). The rabbit wastes no time, either. By the time Elmer races home, the "wascally wabbit" is already in his shower! r Bugs knows a good thing when he sees it - blackmail, to get food and other goodies (or "I'll call Uncle Louie").

I almost felt sorry for the poor sap Fudd as Bugs puts on his "Academy Award" dramatic performance but, in the end, both guys wind up losers as the cartoon writers used the familiar "taxes" bit on the inheritance.

Overall, the humor was too dated and not really ready-for-prime time stuff (the 1950s) but the restoration job on this Golden Collection disc was tremendous. That artwork made Elmer's house look pretty impressive. He might have been a dumb dodo but he had nice- looking furnished house.

Elmer Fudd is once again trying to hunt Bugs Bunny after he hears he's going to inherit three million dollars from uncle Louie if he doesn't harm animals, especially rabbits.And that is a hard thing to do after Bugs Bunny comes to his house.The Wabbit Who Came to Supper from 1942 offers many funny moments, even though it lasts only eight minutes.Mel Blanc is the voice of this animated bunny character and Elmer's voice is Arthur Q. Bryan.Bugs Bunny is one of the greatest comedians ever.He may be a cartoon character but he has comedic talents at least as much Jerry Lewis or Jim Carrey.Watch the goofing of Bugs Bunny in this classic and enjoy.That's all, folks!

When an enormous original Elmer Fudd, who is hunting Bugs at the time, gets a telegram that he has inherited three million dollars but may harm no animals, he thinks he's in heaven. Unfortunately, Bugs sees the telegram and begins to make the big guy's life miserable. He moves into his house and takes advantage of every perk there is. As a viewer, it is hard to watch because Bugs is a nasty figure.

There is a slight psychedelic look to The Wabbit Who Came to Supper.

Elmer Fudd has to quit hunting for Bugs Bunny when he receives a telegram from his rich uncle Louie.

Uncle Louie will leave three million dollars to Elmer but he cannot harm an animal, especially rabbits.

Of course Bugs Bunny will take advantage gf the situation. He follows Elmer home and constantly riles Elmer Fudd.

It really is a case of how desperate is Elmer for the inheritance.

There is some frenetic animation. Elmer looks odd with his reddish shirt.
