Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . their favorite hare yakking in the guttural tones of White House Pretender Don Juan Rump during this prophetic offering from Warner Bros.' prognosticators of (The Then) Far Future, that unparalleled Animated Shorts Seers bunch (aka, The Looney Tuners) during this Pre-World War Two offering, ELMER'S PET RABBIT. This brief cartoon begins with the mentor of Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin (as an Elmer Fudd dressed in Classic KGB garb) buying a young Bugs in a pet shop for 98 cents, reflecting how Putin's tutor recruited reform school teenager Rump for a couple copies of Mad Magazine (not every traitor holds out for 30 pieces of silver!). The remainder of ELMER'S PET RABBIT documents the sexual perversion inherent in the Rump\Putin relationship once the latter assumes the responsibility of being Rump's KGB controller (this switch is telegraphed when a noticeably younger Elmer dons a bathrobe, "I-Swim-Across-the-Volga-Daily" Putin's trademark gear). ELMER'S PET RABBIT will strike 21st Century Viewers as being right up to the New York Minute, even down to the strange Moments of Rump\Putin Bromance dominating Today's headlines (that is, July 8, 2017).

tavm Just watched this early Bugs Bunny (first time he's named here) and Elmer Fudd cartoon on the ThadBlog as linked from YouTube. This was Chuck Jones' first time directing the "wascally wabbit" and as a result, Bugs has a different voice provided by Mel Blanc than the Brooklyn/Bronx one we're more familiar with. In fact, according to Thad, he's channeling Jimmy Stewart (his "shy boy" type personality of that time). Anyway, after Elmer buys his pet, Bugs goes all obnoxious on him by turning the radio real loud, pretending to die after his master repeatedly throws him out of his shower, and saying "Turn off those lights!" whenever Elmer catches him in his bed. Even with the different voice, Bugs is definitely his mischievous self and I laughed myself blue the whole time! According to Thad, there was an additional scene at the end of Elmer just giving the house to Bugs after the hell he went through but that was probably considered too sad since he suffers a mental breakdown at that point so it's just as well that cut scene is lost. Anyway, I highly recommend Elmer's Pet Rabbit.

PeachHamBeach I agree with a lot of the comments: this Bugs is different. After "A WILD HARE" by Tex Avery, this cartoon seems to be presenting some sort of "cousin" to Bugsy rather than the real thing. I noticed something very weird here: No BUCK TEETH!!! Not to mention this guy spoke in a different voice. Elmer is lovable and actually so is this strange bunny who wears yellow gloves, not white. He has some really funny moments. He does his share of highjinks and heckling, but still, this just isn't the Bugs we all know. So I have a suggestion: either they were still not sure who he was, or maybe he was trying to have some "range" of character!!! Not a terrible member of the body of work I love, but not my fave either.

Pumpkin-22 This very unusual early teaming of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny (long before he found his "voice") is of interest to hardcore fans, though it would be a while before they became the well-oiled machine...
