Bob Clampett/Arthur Davis. The Big Snooze, USA 1946
So with this we end Bob Clampett's career at Warner Bros.
Bugs and Elmer are up to their old tricks (mostly lifting footage from All This and Rabbit Stew, minus the racist caricature) until Elmer gets fed up with always jobbing so he walks out.
Not just the scene, mind you, but his entire Warner Bros. contract. While Elmer is content to fish and sleep, Bugs is in a panic. You can't have much of a chase short if there's no chase, right? So he does the only sensible thing, namely knocking himself and entering Elmer's dreams to mess with him there.
Certainly the most surreal short Bugs ever did at this point.
