Bugs' Bonnets

Chuck Jones, Bugs' Bonnets USA 1956


So we kick off 1956 with a Chuck Jones take. 

The premise is simple if a bit odd. Basically how one dresses can impact one's behavior (i.e. putting a business man in a pirate suit makes him act like a pirate).

And wouldn't you know it, a truck containing a ridiculous amount of hats just loses its contents as Elmer is hunting Bugs?

Cute; basically Bugs find a hat of a gangster, Elmer finds a hat of a policeman, but Bugs then finds the wig of a judge, etc. It's a nice showing of one-upmanship from both sides and the ending is unexpected for the 1950's.
