It is one of Elmer Fudd's first cartoons, but sadly it is not one of his best. I am a great fan of Looney Tunes, so I was all for seeing Elmer's Candid Camera. Enjoy "Elmer's Candid Camera"! :-) P.S CCTHEMOVIEMAN-1!! THE ANIMATION REMINDED ME OF BAMBI TOO! :-) I recommend this to people who have an understanding of how it feels to be photographed by a complete stranger, Happy Rabbit and Elmer Fudd. There is no real plot, even less so than in most plot less cartoons. I like this cartoon for Happy Rabbit (even though some of his violence aimed at Elmer is a wee bit unnecessary), Elmer Fudd, the animation and the way some of the gags turn out. You would not like being photographed by a complete stranger without permission, would you? Cartoon capers commence. Happy Rabbit wakes up and is very angry with Elmer for photographing him, as he had never met him. He goes out and soon finds Happy Rabbit, peacefully sleeping (for some reason in open view). Anyhow, in this cartoon, Elmer is going to photograph wildlife. In "Elmer's Candid Camera", he behaves more like Elmer Fudd and looks more like Elmer Fudd, but his appearance was to change into who we know today in the future. The reason this cartoon is one of Elmer Fudd's debuts is because that this is the first cartoon where his name is mentioned. His other debut is "A Feud There Was." In "A Feud There Was", there is an old WB character called Egghead, but he is called Elmer Fudd. His last appearance is this cartoon, which is why I have mentioned all this information. Happy Rabbit then evolved into another cartoon bunny (I do not know if he was called Happy Rabbit as well) and his first appearance is "Hare- um Scare-um". He first appears as a rabbit that looks a lot different (but better) in "Porky's Hare Hunt" and this bunny's next appearance was "Prest-O Change- O". In this old WB cartoon, we see a rabbit who is probably called Happy Rabbit and he was the bunny that evolved into Bugs Bunny. I been tol’ I can’ shoot wittle gway wabbits no more, but I wike this scythe.*Wiping tears from eyes with hankie* All right, not really, but for some reason I love this rabbit, even if he is a little mean to his companion in the cartoon. You’ll never get out alive!”ĭon’t say: “My wight to bear arms has be viowated. Last year, Disney put warnings on some of its older films, that they “may contain outdated cultural depictions”.ĭo say (as Bugs Bunny did): “Don’t take life too seriously. Dr Jacqeuline Antonovich tweeted: “I can’t believe this needs to be said, but Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd were never responsible gun owners anyway.”Īny other examples of franchises making adjustments ? Either as recognition that times have changed or political correctness gone mad, depending on which pole you happen to be standing on ? As it happens yes. Some praise for Warner Bros for taking a stance. What has the reaction been like? Like all reactions these days – polarised. Also, if they are making it more acceptable for a 21st-century audience, could they have maybe changed the name? Or at least corrected the spelling ? They couldn’t spell its sister series Merrie Melodies either, remember? Not yet! But if that happens Looney Tunes will have a lot to answer for. Scythe culture isn’t a thing in America, nor has scythe crime ravaged the country. That’s pretty violent! Also arguably scarier, with its Grim Reaper associations, than the gun. So there’s dynamite and explosions, while Elmer’s shotgun has been replaced with a scythe. If they are not doing guns, what are they doing? There is still plenty of “cartoon violence”, Browngardt says reassuringly, acknowledging that the whole thing is based on conflict. “We’re not doing guns,” the executive producer of the new series, Peter Browngardt, told the New York Times. They have been disarmed? Who by? Warner Bros, which has just relaunched Looney Tunes, the cartoon series in which they appeared, with a new collection of shorts streaming on HBO Max.Īnd have Elmer and Sam been stripped of their weapons in response to out-of-control US gun violence? Exactly. Not going on holiday? Because of Covid-19? No, they are no long totin’ guns. What is? What’s up, doc ? Sam and Elmer are no longer packing. What was the name of BB’s other gun-totin’ adversary, with the big droopy orange moustache? Yosemite Sam. Got it! The hunter in Bugs Bunny, right? Right. Permanently frustrated, frequently injured. Appearance: Hunting gear, brown and red hat, double-barrelled shotgun.
