Charles Jones. Elmer's Candid Camera. USA 1940
Here we have what many consider the first proper Bugs Bunny short, also the first appearance of Elmer Fudd.
Elmer, having recently bought a camera, decides to that a certain gray 'wabbit' would be the perfect first photo. The rabbit has other ideas.
Personality wise, Bugs here is still the jerkish screwball (vocally he sounds more like a slowed down Daffy Duck) who torments Elmer.
We also see Bugs tricking Elmer into thinking he's dying, prompting Elmer to feel sympathy...at least until he lets him out of the net. Then he goes nuts.
Somewhat regard as an old shame, at least by Jones.
