Many folks seeing "Wabbit Twouble" will be shocked at the more obese and less cute version of Elmer Fudd you see here. Originally, he was cuter and skinnier...and after experimenting with a few shorts in the early 40s, the studio relented and returned to the original look. Why? Well, believe it or not, this fat Elmer actually LOOKED like the man who voiced his character, Arthur Q. Bryan! While you rarely see Bryan in the flesh, I saw him in a few Joe McDoakes shorts (also by Warner Brothers) and the likeness is strong!
This cartoon is different from most featuring Bugs and Elmer. This is because Elmer is NOT hunting nor wants to hunt the rabbit...he just came to Jellostone Park to get 'a weel good west' (a real good rest). However, Bugs does his best to annoy Elmer and make his vacation awful!
It's very funny watching Bug torment poor Elmer and you can't help but laugh at this. Add to that some amazingly nice 3D looking animation at the start and you have an excellent cartoon...one well worth seeing despite Elmer's redesign.
