Charles M. Jones. Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears. USA 1944
Winding things down and here we see the return of Chuck Jones and the first appearance of the Three Bears. The Bears were never a huge part of the Looney Toons, but they were different from the usual boneheaded hunters.
Papa is short of height and temper. Mama is long suffering, while Junior is slow witted as his father is angry.
All three bears are starving. Deciding to lure Goldilocks, they decided to brew up some porridge. Sadly all they have in the pantry are carrots, so they make carrot soup. This doesn't get them Goldilocks but it does get them a certain rabbit.
Papa had his heart of Goldilocks, but he'll settle for rabbit stew. Naturally they have to follow the storybook, a fact Bugs uses to his advantage, at least until Mama decides to tenderize him. Turning on the charm, Bugs pitches woo at the severally love-starved ursine, but maybe he would have been better off in the stew pot...
Pretty good and Mel Blanc is clearly having a ball as the abusive pa.
