![]() ![]() He actually only appeared in about 37 (out of 168) of the original Bugs Bunny cartoons, although he did co-star with other characters in many other shorts, along with several of his own solo appearances, amounting to 71 classic shorts total, between 1937 to 1962. He is also a millionaire, who lives in a mansion and owns a yacht. Fudd cartoons include Chuck Jones' masterpiece " What's Opera, Doc?", the Rossini parody " Rabbit of Seville", and the "Hunting Trilogy" of " Rabbit Fire", " Rabbit Seasoning", and " Duck! Rabbit, Duck!. ![]() Since Elmer made his ninth cartoon, " Elmer's Candid Camera" (1939, released in 1940) He speaks in an unusual way (rhotacism), replacing his R's and L's with W's, so "Watch the road, Rabbit," becomes "Watch da woad, wabbit!" Elmer's signature catchphrase is, "Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits", as well as his trademark gloat, "huh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh." The best known Elmer J. His aim is to hunt Bugs, but he usually ends up seriously injuring himself and/or other antagonizing characters. cartoon pantheon (second only to Bugs himself). He has one of the most disputed origins in the Warner Bros. However, unlike the tyrannical, power-hungry Marvin or the scheming, malevolent Sam, Elmer is dopey and unlikely to do Bugs great harm. He is one of the series' main recurring villains, along with Marvin the Martian and Yosemite Sam. Fudd is a fictional cartoon character, one of the most famous Looney Tunes characters, and one of the archenemies of Bugs Bunny. ![]() Roy Rogers (singing voice in A Feud There Was) What about vehicular manslaughter? Next will we have to take the CARs out of CARtoons?Įnough is enough.Mel Blanc (1937-1940 1950 1957 1959–1989) But who cares about explosives? As long as Elmer Fudd is disarmed our children are safe to now watch these cartoons, right? Forget about the Unabomber, the Time Square Bombing, the Boston Marathon Bombings, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the World Trade Center Bombing, the Underwear Bomber, Centennial Olympic Park, the list goes on. Yet explosive devices are depicted every bit as much, if not more, than in the original cartoon.Īpparently nearly 40,000 bombings in the United States in a 20 year period doesn't mean much. I don't think that is politically correct at all!Īpparently this decision was made due to the mass shootings that have taken place in the US. This just depicts hunters in a vile and barbaric image. The idea that Elmer no longer has a firearm, but is using a scythe to try to "hunt" Bugs Bunny I feel depicts hunters as primitive and barbaric with a lust for murder and mayhem! Surely a scythe would not dispatch game in a quick and humane manner compared to the shotgun he was using. Just respect each other's thoughts and feelings, and coexist. People don't have to agree with each other in order to get along. To me, that's far more politically correct as it shows both sides and also a peaceful resolution. The two of them could be amazing friends who both love, enjoy, and appreciate nature, but have a difference of opinion where hunting and animal consumption are concerned. They could both share their sides and their opinions without being angry or hostile to each other and could just agree to disagree. ![]() The vegan could say how emotionally, he cannot accept the idea of an animal being killed for consumption or human gain/profit. The viewer could actually be educated on several facts regarding the benefits of hunting that many people are unaware of. Elmer Fudd could explain all the benefits hunting has for conservation and proper wildlife Management, and how he appreciates organic meat free of artificial hormones, antibiotics, etc. The two of them would have calm and rational discussions about their opinions on hunting and/or consuming animals. If they truly wanted to be politically correct what they could do is introduce a new character who is a vegan. But in the name of "political correctness" our beloved Elmer Fudd has been stripped of his firearm. You may or may not be aware that HBO Max has relaunched Warner Brothers classic Looney Tunes Cartoons. ![]()
