Remember, it’s Elmer season!
Jones redefined our understanding of Bugs and Daffy in a series of co-starring cartoons where Bugs’s self-knowing stasis constantly defeats Daffy’s frenetic over-reaching (e.g., 1955’s Beanstalk Bunny and 1957’s Ali Baba Bunny). Yet it was Jones’s depiction of Dafffy’s multifaceted reaction to his continuous cycle of inspiration and humiliation in the fifties "Rabbit Season" trilogy Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit! Duck! that drew most of the attention and sympathy.

80 years ago today, America’s greatest contribution to culture was introduced to the silver screen. And as wonderful as “A Wild Hare” is, Bugs only continued to experiment and dominate as the golden age of animation moved on.
The Hunting Trilogy is widely considered to be among Bugs and Daffy’s best shorts, and for good reason. The interplay they share together and with Elmer is as riotously funny now as it was as it premiered almost 70 years ago.
This first part, in particular, is so ingrained into the cultural subconscious that trying to talk about it is pointless, since everything will come down to highlight reels. And if you do, I’ll give you suuuuch a pinch!
Happy birthday, Bugs!
Jeffrey, you naughty bow wow
So, uh, thanks to the last episode of the Ducktales reboot I was in a nostalgic mood and had a very stupid idea.
