Wabbit Twouble

Bob Clampett. Wabbit Twouble. USA 1941

Bit of a step up from the last short, this was the first appearance of the 'fat' Elmer. For some reason they decided to remodel Mr. Fudd after his voice actor Arthur Q. Bryan, but would only last for 3 more shorts.

Similar to a Wild Hare, this has Elmer heading out into the Great Wide Open (Jellostone Park, years before Yogi arrived), except this time he's packing a tent instead of a camera or gun. Shame he decided set up his campsite directly over the rabbit hole of one Mr. B. Bunny...

Bugs is more tormenter and Elmer's more of a sap. He's trespassing, but it does seem a bit excessive.

They did a pretty neat bit where the credits are written like Elmer's speech impediment.
