A Eterna Caçada

Elmer Fudd using his metal rabbit detector finds and chases Bugs Bunny out of the wood and into a crowded theater. (Rabbits pay less for theater tickets by the way, so dress up like one the next time you go to the movies, kids) Bugs using his wit constantly gets the befuddled hunter ejected from the theater as well as annoys the patrons by his constant moving around. An all around funny short. It may not be a classic, but stick with it, trust me the ending is truly killer. This animated short can be found on Disk 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3.

My Grade: A

This is a funny animated classic with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. Nothing spectacular, but quite enjoyable, fun and entertaining. It's one of those old-fashioned animated shorts with good artwork, classic humor, charm and full of amusement.

Bugs Bunny is a very smart rabbit. This time he's chased by Elmer Fudd, who wants to catch him. They go through several places (forests, the city, cinemas and even a circus at the end). Elmer Fudd, however, is so stupid that you have to feel sorry for him. His tries to catch the rabbit are always unsuccessful - he's always outsmarted by that rabbit and that's where all the fun is. His stupidity even makes him end up in a lion's mouth.

Bugs Bunny is voiced by one of Disney's most legendary artists: Mel Blanc, a guy with an extraordinary talent for doing voices and sounds, like few people ever had. His most famous line is one that everybody knows by heart: «Hey, what's up, Doc?».

Elmer Fudd's most famous lines in this are "wabbit" instead of "rabbit" and "on the contwawy" instead of "on the contrary".

Elmer Fudd uses his Army surplus wabbit detector. He tracks Bugs Bunny off a cliff and to his home. Bugs escapes and takes a car to the movies. It is a long way up to his seat in the top balcony. He is followed closely by Elmer Fudd.

This is a classic Bugs Bunny vs Elmer Fudd cartoon. They are the perfect foils for each other. There is a bit of transition as they move from the forest to a theater. I guess that it's a little awkward to be hunting in a theater. So it does need to go from the woods to the city. Ultimately, I am sold by the characters climbing up the stairs in the dark. That has always been hilarious to me.

This is pretty good. As usual, Elmer is after that "cwazy wabbit." Elmer chases Bugs out of the woods into a movie theater. What transpires is one blitz after another. Being trampled by patrons. Being grabbed by head ushers. Being put on a unicycle, blindfolded. But he never loses his spirit. Even though he never wins, we should all be a bit like Elmer.

This is a wonderful Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd cartoon--probably the best of all of their pairings except for those that also included Daffy Duck (now they were super funny). However, despite it being such a wonderful cartoon short, I can't understand the title, as this seems to have nothing to do with the cartoon.

Bugs is initially being chased by Elmer in the forest. Eventually, Bugs hot foots it to the big city to try to escape and eventually hides out in a movie theater. The film's pace is non-stop and the production values are terrific. The bottom line is that if you DON'T like this cartoon, then you probably won't like any Bugs Bunny cartoon--it is simply wonderful and fun.
