Beanstalk Bunny

Charles M. Jones, Beanstalk Bunny USA 1955


And we greet 1955 with a short from Chuck Jones. 


Daffy, having just traded his cow for some beans, curses his luck and tosses them aside. When they grow into a giant beanstalk stretching up into sky, he changes his mind. When he notices Bugs Bunny's bed tangled in the vines, Daffy kicks him away. On account on this being a 'Jack and the Beanstalk' picture and HE'S Jack.


Bugs opts to follow and where there is a giant beanstalk there's a giant. Elmer in this case, and he's looking for Jack. Bugs doesn't sweat it, and why should he? He's not Jack, pointing to Daffy. 


Jones, Maltesse plus Bugs and Daffy? Perfection. Bugs is at his heroic best, while Daffy and Elmer provide the best foes he can hope for.
