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.

When Elmer Fudd's Uncle Louie bequeaths him 3 million dollars on the condition that he doesn't hurt any living creatures, Bugs Bunny exploit's the situation by moving into his house and taking over his life. Friz Freleng's 'The Wabbit Who Came to Supper' is a fun take on a classic, much used storyline which was probably best realised in the Tom and Jerry classic 'The Million Dollar Cat'. Freleng's take on the tale is also very fine, overcoming the odd pacing problems with some very funny moments. My favourite bit is Bugs's petty duping of Elmer out of a nickel. Also notable is the famous premature New Year routine and the early take on the "Don't go down there, it's dark" gag (perfected in 'Hair Raising Hare'). This is a very early Bugs Bunny cartoon and you can occasionally tell by the odd look of the characters. Aside from the obese version of Elmer (an early experiment that was quickly abandoned), Bugs occasionally looks extremely weird, never more so than in the scene when he examines his teeth in a mirror. Nevertheless, it's a joy to watch Bugs and Elmer alternately turn the tables on each other resulting in a great climactic chase. The closing gag is a little weak but by that time 'The Wabbit Who Came to Supper' has done more than enough to endear itself to the viewer. While it falls short of classic, 'The Wabbit Who Came to Supper' never fails to entertain with its fast paced, well-timed antics.

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.

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.
