Mjeteconer Just perfect...

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

TheLittleSongbird I am a great fan of Looney Tunes, so I was all for seeing Elmer's Candid Camera. It is one of Elmer Fudd's first cartoons, but sadly it is not one of his best. It is not completely terrible, the animation is very beautifully coloured and detailed and the music is wonderfully orchestrated and lively in tempo which helps to give Elmer's Candid Camera some energy. Mel Blanc and Arthur Q Bryan are great, though they is even better in later cartoons, and Elmer is still rather likable. However, the rabbit character that looks like Bugs but doesn't act like Bugs is not very likable, he lacks verve and he is too sadistic at times as well. The humour also feels flabby rather than funny, the dialogue is not as fresh or as witty and the gags not as clever or imaginative. The story was a good idea but drags badly in the middle that the cartoon lacks momentum. There was the sense that everything was trying to find its feet. Overall, could have been much more, it's not a complete disgrace but it is towards the "my least favourite" end of the Looney Tunes spectrum. 5/10 Bethany Cox

aefrench This is an okay cartoon short from the Warner Bros. Studio, but it's not among its best.Elmer decides to take up photography, and goes out to take pictures of animals. When he gets there, he meets a rabbit, (who looks like Bugs, but there is no mention that it is actually him) who proceeds to make it difficult for Elmer to enjoy his new hobby.There are some funny parts in the cartoon, such as when Elmer is actually trying to photograph the rabbit. Simply put, the rabbit is not going to just allow Elmer to take his picture. However, there are some parts that were just a bit silly. This is really an average cartoon.

slymusic Directed by Chuck Jones and animated by Bob McKimson (who later became a director himself), "Elmer's Candid Camera" is a good Warner Bros. cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in their earliest stages, certainly not as we know them today. In this film, Elmer wishes to photograph wildlife and Bugs gets in the way. As usual.Here are my favorite segments from "Elmer's Candid Camera". When Elmer prepares to take a picture of the sleeping Bugs, a bird chirps noisily and Elmer shushes it, after which Bugs momentarily awakens to shush the bird himself; then, when Bugs walks out of camera range and chats with Elmer, Elmer suddenly grabs Bugs by the neck, and Bugs mistakes Elmer's action for a romantic advance. Later on, Bugs grabs the accordion part of Elmer's camera and pops him in the face, causing the hapless Elmer to fly backward into an apple tree. In addition, I have the utmost praise for composer/orchestrator Carl W. Stalling, whose music score throughout this cartoon is a gem; as an example, the opening credits & first scene are complemented by the popular song "What's New?"."Elmer's Candid Camera" is a nice cartoon, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere, and Elmer turns into a lunatic near the end of it. Fortunately, "A Wild Hare" would be released that same year (1940), finally solidifying the physical appearances and personalities of this famous wabbit/hunter duo.

Michael_Elliott Elmer's Candid Camera (1940) *** (out of 4)Elmer, in his first appearance, is reading a photography book, which inspires him to head out into the wilderness to photo some wildlife. Sadly for him his first target is a troublesome rabbit (a future Bugs Buggy). This certainly isn't classic Looney Tunes but it's a fairly entertaining short in its own right. I think most people will prefer the more classic approach to the characters but if you're fair to this film then you should enjoy it. Not too much happens storywise as Elmer keeps getting jokes played on him. None of the jokes are all that funny but that doesn't mean there isn't any charm here. The highlights are certainly the sequences where Elmer finally goes overboard and blows his cool after the rabbit plays all his jokes.
