Encrencas do Pernalonga

Bob Clampett's first Bugs Bunny cartoon seems more like the kind of film that Tex Avery would have made if he stayed with the studio (not surprising, since Clampett inherited Tex's crew). Unwarranted troublemaker, casual asides to the audience, and a likable foil.

Clampett's style starts to break from Avery's and take its own in the facial expressions. Elmer's takes during the bear attack (either one) are priceless. And the goofy-scary design of the actual bear is a great blend...perfect for a cartoon.

This is also the first appearance of the "fat Elmer," a redesign Clampett wanted to use because he felt the character looked funnier...and so Elmer could more resemble his voice actor, Arthur Q. Bryan. To a point he does look funnier, but one can already see the future physical limitations it will set on the character (see "The Wacky Wabbit" for a good example of that).

All in all, a silly first Bugs cartoon for Clampett. Definitely one to see!

I have made no secret of loving the Looney Tunes cartoons, and this cartoon featuring inspired duo Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd is no exception. Thanks to the brilliant visual gags and the razor sharp dialogue, Wabbit Twouble never ceases to be less than hugely entertaining. The animation is spotless and the music is rousing and dynamic. Although you do feel sorry for Elmer as he is the butt of the joke as is usually the case, you have to love Bugs here, he isn't what I feel as obnoxious but certainly devious and cunning. Their chemistry is another reason to see this cartoon, it is somewhat electric! And the voice acting of Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan is superb. Overall, a hilarious cartoon and definitely one I recommend. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Both the fat Elmer and the Elmer we came to know and love were great! Here director Bob Clampett uses the fat Elmer wisely and puts him in a series of great gags that leave you laughing from start to finish. This was truly a great start for the fat Elmer. Sad is that he never really lasted that long.

Bugs Bunny is one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters, and this short is one of my favorites directed by Bob Clampett. In this cartoon, Elmer Fudd goes on vacation to Jellostone National Park for relaxation, but Bugs Bunny plays pranks on him.

My favorite scene is when, after Elmer hammers up Bugs' hole, Bugs opens the board like a door and mimics Elmer: "That'll hold all wight." He even chuckled like him. I also love the "play dead" scene, which involves a huge black bear-not a grizzly bear, but a black bear! The facial expressions Elmer uses during the bear attack (either one) are priceless.

A fat Elmer Fudd goes to Jellostone National Park in search of 'wewaxation', but has the misfortune of putting his tent over Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole in this great Robert Clampett directed and Dave Monahan written Looney Tunes short. This cartoon is hilarious with almost every single gag hitting it's mark. My favorite being Bugs kissing a Elmer who's pretending to be dead thinking a bear is still attacking him. Elmer's reaction to this is simply priceless.This cartoon is the twelth short on disk 1 of the 'Loony Tunes Golden Collection'. It also has a Commentary track and a featurette.

My Grade: A+
