I’m going to name this fox Elmer Fudd because it was constantly hunting rabbits and I never saw it actually get one. Still very exciting to watch the chase. What a beautiful animal. | Mark Smith Photography

When you think of Bugs Bunny getting hunted, Elmer Fudd is probably the first name that comes to mind. But was he really the first Looney Tune to go after the wisecracking rabbit? The answer goes back to a 1938 cartoon where Bugs wasn’t quite… Bugs yet. #BugsBunny #LooneyTunes #FactOrFiction #CartoonTrivia #ElmerFudd #PorkyPig #AnimationHistory #WarnerBros #ClassicCartoons #BugsBunnyFacts | The Real Brandolorian

“Shh! Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting Elmers,” Bugs Bunny . . Directed by Chuck Jones in 1951, “Rabbit Fire” has Daffy Duck and Bugs arguing back and forth whether it is duck season or rabbit season. The object of their arguments … the hunter, Elmer Fudd. This is the first cartoon of "The Hunting Trilogy" starring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd. . . 👉 Enjoy the clips!
