This one is beyond funny. It is the perfect combination of Wagner's stirring music, shorn of it's silly, pretentious, story, and recombined with a really silly story, but which nicely deflates the original. It certainly has the chops to make the claim of being the greatest cartoon ever, but probably no cartoon is the greatest cartoon ever, there are too many really great ones, maybe even too many at just Warner Bros.
@discolando Bugs having none of a Wagnerian heroines ample proportions, Chuck Jones said "we invested all the fat curves we owned in Brunnhilda's charger". Check Herr Meets Hare for the original charger (circa 1943 or 44) by Freleng (I think). This cartoon matured in Jones' mind for over a decade and was so worth that long gestation period. Might be a good place to recommend Chuck's autobiography Chuck Amuck. He gives us a good picture of himself, the times, the place, and cartoon making.
The animation on this is incredibly sophisticated and holds up well even by today's standards-an impressive feat considering it was made almost half a century ago. And honestly, who else but Mel Blanc could have managed to make Elmer Fudd sound convincing singing Wagner? The old Warner Bros. crew were so truly ahead of their time.
@dkupke man agreed 100 percent, no wonder this short was one of the best animations masterpieces ever. However this short was Arthur Q bryan doing elmer's voice up until his death in 1959. Mel took over after his death!
looney toons is my primary memory for like the first 10 years of my life. I only feel nostalgia for a few things from that time and like 75% of them are looney toons shorts
This is chuck jones at his best. I love this and fantasia. Both are masterpieces. No wonder this is at the library of congress. I wonder they dont this now push the bounderies of what a cartoon can be. I cant imagine them doing spongebob does hamlet or dora the explorer does les misbarles
Milt Franklyn arranged and conducted this, 'rabbitsmom'. When this was originally released in July 1957, Stalling was easing himself into retirement, sharing his musical duties with Franklyn, and finally retired in early 1958.
@tyrionimpstark666 actually old spongebob episodes were heavily based off of these cartoons and a lot of references can be found and the music is similar in both. Ren and Stimpy did the same thing, but to a lesser extent and was a lot more entertaining for adults.
@CattitudeInterlude I think they put Wagner's glorious music to better use than he did subject matter / story wise. Sort of like Boorman in the Excaliber movie.
Look back on the cartoons of old. Bugs and friends, Mickey Mouse and friends. Also look at the animated features predominantly held by Disney through to the 70's. Computer animation might be today's thing but these cartoons, some reaching close to 80 years still tower over them in terms of quality, feeling, and artistry. A true American art form.
I would like to think that Wagner is somewhere bent over laughing his head off at this rendition of his opera! If it wasn't for Bugs, the world of classical music would have been closed to many of us as kids.
@joelt6502 I'd like to think that, too, but then reality hits: Wagner was a 19th-century German, a people not known for their light-hearted sense of humor. On top of that, Wagner was not exactly known as a fun-loving fellow.
This is just genius! Obviously, it's hilarious: Elmer singing "KILL THE WABBIT" and Bugs coming down in drag on that overweight horse. But my God, the music is so moving juxtaposed with Chuck Jones' exhilarating animation. At the end of the cartoon when Elmer is carrying Bugs up the staircase, I got chills.
This cartoon may have been what saved Wagner's music from being solely associated with Nazi Germany, and it was only 12 years after WWII.
@JackHanleyCO The funny part is Walt Disney wanted to do that almost a decade before this cartoon was released; he had wanted Fantasia to be a work in progress, getting re-released every few years with new pieces added, and he had specifically wanted to include Wagner in a future rendition of it. But Fantasia was not a box office success, and the idea was abandoned.
I love how bugs always has these plans set up in advance or magic powers. Just in case I need a giant mare, armor, and a wig; strategically placed 100 yards from my hole.
@PhantomWerewolf OMG, no! As great as Mel was, he didn't sing both parts. Elmer Fudd was voiced for over twenty years by Arthur Q. Bryan, and he sang here as well. Warners always had the best voice talent.
@rougeleader302 Not true. Duck Amuck and One Froggy Evening is also being preserved as culturally, historically or aesthetically signifigant by the US Library of Congress. That makes him the only animator to have 3 shorts thus preserved.
The part that really amazes me, considering these cartoon's are almost half a century old, is just how incredibly sophisticated the animation is even by today's standards and how well it still holds up against cartooning today. Chuck Jones was truly ahead of his time in his art.
@dkupke They also had a lot more time and money to put a cartoon together back then since it was meant to be shown alongside a movie. When you're trying to put together 26 half hour episodes a year, you have to take a lot of shortcuts just to be able to keep up.
@Errickfoxy Most definitely. Back then animation was a hot industry, so studio's put a great deal more resources into their artistic departments. Today CGI has taken the reigns, so the titans like Disney, Warner Bros., etc. don't have as much money or development poured into animation.
@dkupke animation in general was better back then, it wasnt so computer generated, teams of people would draw it out, or at least proportionally a lot more than today's standards.
@dkupke Actually back then they put much more attention to detail. Take a loony toon cartoon from the fifties and set it by todays...or even better, take disney movies and compare them to the disney channels 2d crap!
@dkupke This was made by people who gave a damn about quality as well as making a buck. Most modern animation seems to be all about the latter at the cost of the former.
eh whats up doc whats cookin whats up doc eh ya lookin for bugs bunny bunting doc is gone-a hunting just to get a rabbit skin but now the rabbit's gone again!~~~
Happy 71st Birthday, Bugs!(Yes, today marks 71 years since Bugs first existed in Warner Bros. as well as on our screens to make us laugh no matter how young or "young at heart" we may be.) Had to share this on Facebook since I've got many friends who adore this cartoon. Thanks & I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially since it brought me back to my fond childhood memories of watching Looney Tunes on Saturday mornings as a kid....when cartoons were actually worth waking up early on Saturdays! lol.
I have many a fond childhood memory of watching the Bugs and Tweety show and Saturday mornings. Whenever the music for this one came on, my mother, father, and brother would drop what they were doing and converge on the livingroom. And when that stupid horse came on, we would all be on the floor laughing! That and Daffy Duck as Robin Hood.
Chuck Jones's book Chuck Amuck, admits that the giant horned shadow of Elmer in this cartoon is a tribute to Bill Tytla's Devil in Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia! Warner Brother cartoons loved to parody films that they really enjoyed, whether those films were made at Warner Brothers, Disney or anywhere else!
This freaked me out as a little kid, because I was convinced that Bugs was dead. Now I realize how funny it is as an adult, but I can remember being absolutely freaked. I loved seeing it again! I really wish they made cartoons like this now.
I always thought the fat horse was SO funny, and I also always thought that Bugs was getting too much into his little romantic song with Elmer, and was actually surprised back to reality when his wig fell off!
