The Old Grey Hare

Robert Clampett. The Old Grey Hare. USA 1944. 


This one has Elmer, crying over his repeat failures to get a certain wabbit. A voice from above tells him to keep at it, but Elmer falls asleep and doesn't wake until the far off time of 2000!

Sure, he's ancient when he wakes up but so's Bugs. Plus he has a genuine Buck Rogers raygun! Pity that even old and with lumbago Bugs is still Bugs. 

Pretty good, and the idea of Bugs and Elmer having a life long feud is funny considering they had both only been around for a few years at this point. Some of the sight gags didn't age that well, but the back and forth between Bugs and Elmer make up for it.
