Featured review
Ode to the gweat wabbit hunter
Elmer Fudd began life as Egghead, a very different character with a voice that evoked a forgotten comedian named Joe Penner. He developed "right along with Bugs" as Leonard Maltin points out; and both characters were solidified in the 1940 cartoon "A Wild Hare." He was voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan, who developed the characterizationwhich included replacing r's and l's with w'son radio, a medium that once demanded unique voice talents. Maltin explains why Elmer's and Bugs Bunny's "Wabbit Twouble" is his "all-time favorite cartoon" and how it is a good example of what makes Warner Bros. cartoons so great.
I often underestimate Elmer Fudd; but however funny his other opponents are, Bugs Bunny's classic antagonist is Elmer Fudd. Elmer is blessed with an actor who hadn't just come up with a funny-sounding voice. Bryan *was* funny. And his comic inventiveness and timing made Elmer what he is. And also Elmer was used sparingly, which prevented him from wearing out his welcome.
This documentary short was created for the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume One" and can be found on Disc 1.
