A Wild Fudd

Elmer Fudd is dwiven nuts by the horse-whinny version of Bugs Bunny in “Elmer’s Candid Camera” (1940). Bob McKimson gets the sole animation credit but Ken Harris, Bobe Cannon and Phil Monroe, I suspect, animated on this cartoon as well. Is that Harris doing Elmer in the net?



Highlights, modelling, gags that you tire of before they finish unfolding. Yes, it’s an early Chuck Jones cartoon. Fortunately, this Bugs was jettisoned by the studio after Tex Avery figured out the character and Jones went on to make outstanding, memorable cartoons with the new weisenheimer version.
