Edgar Allan Pooh . . . in the arms of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd is quickly shown cramming the long shaft of his fun gun down the mouthy hare's throat. As EASTER YEGGS begins, a skeptical Bugs is shown Tsk-Tsking as a reads a book entitled HOW TO MULTIPLY. Warner Bros.' animators make it abundantly clear that Bugs is studying up on advanced math in a Biblical sense, as in "One plus one equals Baby." But carefree bachelor Bugs' resistance to what can only be regarded as a Sex Education tome suggests that America's favorite bunny has no interest in being a link in a Multi-generational chain in the Disney sense. In lieu of Intersexual Hanky Panky, Bugs fools around with Elmer Fudd, despite the latter's strong desire for (as he puts it himself) "Some nice, juicy Easter Bunny stew." Before Wisconsin ordered Jeffrey Dahmer to be executed Shish-Kabob style with a mop handle, many hours of post-conviction interviews were recorded with America's most infamous Gay Young Cannibal. It's not surprising that during one session J.D. named EASTER YEGGS as his favorite Looney Tune.
Robert Reynolds This is a Bugs Bunny Easter-themed short from Warner Brothers. There will be spoilers ahead:This is a fairly interesting Bugs Bunny. Here, Bugs is once again minding his own business, reading "How To Multiply", when he hears crying and investigates. He sees the Easter Bunny, who tells Bugs a sob story and cons him into delivering the Easter eggs this year. Bugs makes his first stop, which sets the tone for the short, as he meets a kid whose "pacifier" is a revolver! The kid screams, "I wanna Easter egg!" and proceeds to injure our hero. when Bugs tries to discipline the monster, the little Damian in training sets up an alarm, bringing three massive and well-armed adults who aim to perforate a certain rabbit, fleeing stage left!The stage is set for Elmer to make an entrance. Once again, Elmer is bent on shooting Bugs, which is what he tries to do in most of their shorts together. He's waiting to shoot the Easter Rabbit and make "Eastew wabbit stew"! Bugs gets the drop on him and the race is on.Most of the remainder of the short consists of Bugs outwitting Elmer and fending off a very pushy Easter rabbit nagging him to deliver more eggs in a whiny voice. The best gag here is Bugs playing magician with Elmer's pocket watch.Bugs gets the best of both Elmer and the Easter rabbit in the end, though what happens to poor Elmer shouldn't happen to anyone! The Easter rabbit gets what he deserves.This short is available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Volume 3 and is well worth watching. Recommended.
eusebius123 The people complaining about Elmer Fudd hunting for food clearly haven't watched many Bugs Bunny cartoons. "Wabbit stew" was always what Elmer was after when he went hunting — it was one of his catchphrases well before this cartoon was made (example: "Hare Tonic" from 1945, directed by Chuck Jones). It's part of what makes that line so funny in this cartoon! Jones didn't ret-con Elmer into being a vegetarian until "Rabbit Fire" in 1951, so it's hard to understand how McKimson should have been able to foresee that four years earlier. And the mention of Elmer as a vegetarian was just for the sake of a gag anyway, not to establish a running character trait — after all, in 1953, Jones was back to having Elmer hunt for "wabbit stew" in "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!".As for Bugs being mean-spirited, the same comment applies — Bugs was always somewhat of an amoral character in the 1940s cartoons, even going so far as to be an outright jerk sometimes (particularly in his earliest appearances, such as "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" and the Cecil the Turtle shorts). Jones didn't make him into a goody-two-shoes type character until later in the 1950s.And of course it's not like the WB cartoons ever cared much about canon or continuity anyway. Next thing you know, someone will be complaining about inconsistency in "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century" because Daffy Duck usually isn't a space marine.
Stephen Holloway Bugs has to fill in for an brown easter rabbit who don't want to deliver the eggs and talks Bugs into deliver them. In his first stop he pays an spoiled brat an visit and he gets the best of Bugs. Although Bugs wants to quit, he tries once more. His next stop was at Elmer's house who wants an Easter Rabbit Stew to eat. He tries to trap Bugs by drowning him but it failed. Instead, Bugs has an raft and goes into an log that was oddly enough the Tunnel Of Love. After they leave the log, Bugs tries out an couple of tricks but, they failed. After an brief chase, that includes the brat, Bugs paints Elmer's head to look like an easter egg and the brat attack Elmer. With one egg left, the lazy rabbit carries it unknowing is was an bomb that Bugs had made. How did Bugs made an bomb, I don't know but it works and Bugs laughs as the film fades.Overall, the cartoon was good .I recommend it as an McKimson classic as well as an Bugs Bunny classic as well. It's not perfect but it's still an classic. Final Score: an 9 out of 10
