![]() 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. In official listings of cartoons in DVD/Blu-ray sets by Warner Media, Elmer's early cartoons from "Little Red Walking Hood" to " Believe It or Else" are classified as starring Egghead.*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. Additionally, the early Elmer Fudd was only used by Avery, whilst Egghead was inherited to Hardaway and Dalton.įurther confusing the matter is that in the compilation film, " Daffy Duck's Quackbusters", the Looney Tunes Back in Action movie, and in Looney Tunes Cartoons, Egghead is depicted as the early Elmer Fudd design instead of his original Joe Penner depiction, bearing Elmer Fudd's clothes and derby hat from Avery's cartoons. Further approving this theory is the similar character with the name "Elmer" was seen on the model sheets for "Little Red Walking Hood", the lobby card for " The Isle of Pingo Pongo", in the cartoon " A Feud There Was", and promotional material at the time. However, animation historian Michael Barrier was one of the first to expose the true relation of Elmer to Egghead, stating that the man in "Little Red Walking Hood" is actually Elmer Fudd, showing Egghead as a separate character. ![]() It is often confused by documentaries, fans, and even Warner Media that Egghead was a predecessor Elmer Fudd, and that he and another character in the Avery's cartoons starting with " Little Red Walking Hood" were the same individual. His voice, laugh, and mannerisms were very much like those of Joe Penner, except in his first appearance in "Egghead Rides Again" where his voice and mannerisms were much more like those of Daffy Duck.Ĭonfusion with Elmer Fudd Main article: Elmer Fudd#Early appearances Egghead initially was depicted as having a bulbous nose, a voice like Joe Penner, and an egg-shaped head, upon which he upon which he was bald in his first appearance and had a Moe Howard haircut only in three cartoons such as, "Daffy Duck and Egghead", "A-Lad-In Bagdad", and "Count Me Out". Įgghead debuted in the 1937 cartoon " Egghead Rides Again". ![]() Egghead was originally slated to appear in " Confederate Honey", but when Friz Freleng returned and took over Dalton's and Hardaway's director roles, Egghead was scrapped and the recently-finalized Elmer Fudd was used. Throughout the late-1930s, Avery used Egghead in most of the character's pictures such as "Egghead Rides Again" and "Daffy Duck and Egghead", while Ben Hardaway, Cal Howard, and Cal Dalton use Egghead in only two cartoons such as " A-Lad-In Bagdad", and " Count Me Out". ![]()
