As this gray rabbit torments Nature lover Elmer Fudd throughout this Warner Bros. The offish lout of a deep-voiced rabbit starring in ELMER'S CANDID CAMERA sports hideous, beaver-sized buck teeth and an overly Ginormous bushy white tail. But it's all in fun and sure to please most fans of the duo. When Elmer responds in the affirmative, Bugs tosses him back in-which is probably the reason so many of the other comments object to the sadistic nature of the Bugs Bunny character. The bunny, after rescuing Elmer from nearly drowning in a pond, asks him if he's perfectly alright. Brightly colored, it's fun to watch and interesting to see the early development of both characters. When Bugs objects to being photographed, the cartoon turns into the usual back and forth shenanigans of pursuit and chase. He comes across a sleeping rabbit and prepares to set up his camera. The timid and fumbling Elmer is only anxious to use his new camera to photograph wildlife. Still, it's easy to see why the two very different kind of characters were naturals to be set up against each other. The major trouble with ELMER'S CANDID CAMERA is that neither character is the fully realized creation he would become later on. 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. There was the sense that everything was trying to find its feet. The story was a good idea but drags badly in the middle that the cartoon lacks momentum. 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. 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. Mel Blanc and Arthur Q Bryan are great, though they is even better in later cartoons, and Elmer is still rather likable. 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. 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. *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.
