. . . FOREVER BEFUDDLED runs less than three minutes, packing in more than its share of useful information. We get to see Looney Tunes' legendary voice artist Mel Blanc's son, and LT director Bob Clampett's daughter. Looney director Chuck Jones chimes in, along with Looney historians Leonard Maltin and Jerry Beck. Even Looney reset voice artist Joe Alaskey antes up his two cents' worth (or at least he's in for a penny). Even though Mr. Blanc Senior's contract gave him sole voice credit on hundreds of Warner Bros. animated shorts, we learn that Mel was a friend and colleague of Arthur Q. Bryan (who voiced Elmer Fudd)--NOT a rival. We're instructed that Mr. Fudd evolved from a 1930s Beta Version named Egghead, and that his originally bulbous nose just shrank and shrank as the years went by. We hear that WABBIT TWOUBLE is one of Mr. Maltin's Looney Tunes Faves. We see clips of this and several other illustrative shorts. What's not to like?
