Review of Wabbit Twouble

"Wabbit Twouble" is an American cartoon from 1941, the days of World War II, so this one is already almost 80 years old and was directed by Robert Clampett and written by Dave Monahan with the former being the more famous of the two today I guess. Of course this statement does not include voice actor Mel Blanc, one of the biggest legends of his era and among the most prolific actors of all time if not the number one. Here we have a relativelly early Bugs Bunny cartoon, which you can see by the looks of the characters and the story. Bugs does not look yet the way he usually does in these cartoons and same is true about Elmer Fudd. Honestly, without reading about him here I maybe would not have even thought it is him because he looks way chubbier and way more human without the unproportionally big head and also he acts differently than usual. He just wants to relax and have a chilly day here, no rabbit-hunting or anything. But Bugs can be quite a nuisance, which is why I also did not find him really likable at all. My sypathies were with Elmer this time. Also the film is slightly longer at 8.5 minutes than they usually are. The first half was okay. Bugs turning forward the hands of time for a day in Elmer's mind was not unfunny, even if it never felt realistic. Sadly, the second half was really forgettable and bland and the bear added almost nothing for me. Did not help either with him getting the final shot of the film. Most memorable moment was actually a chubby version of Bugs, even if it only lasted for a second or so. Bizarre moment for sure. Overall, I think it wasn't a great cartoon and I give this one a thumbs-down. Nowhere near Bugs' finest. Even for cartoon lovers not really recommended. Go watch something else instead.
