Hitchcoc Bugs Bunny almost always gets the last word, and this cartoon really promotes that. In this one, Daffy Duck has convinced Elmer Fudd it is rabbit season to deflect the fact that it is really duck season. Of course, he never has a chance against the clever rabbit. Since Elmer is no Rhodes Scholar himself, he falls for every verbal trap put forth and Daffy ends up paying for it with buckshot dismantling him. On several occasions, the clumsy hunter shoots the poor duck, usually rearranging his head in some way. There is the obligatory scene where Bugs dresses up as a Southern Belle and Elmer goes bonkers over him/her. Good animation. Nowadays, all the shooting and talk of death would never allow this to be shown to children the way it was in 1952.

utgard14 Very funny Bugs & Daffy cartoon. The second of their hunting trilogy with Elmer Fudd. The cartoon starts with a series of signs Daffy has put up to direct Elmer to Bugs' home, telling him it's rabbit season. He's hoping Elmer will shoot Bugs. Needless to say, things don't go as Daffy planned. The rest of the short is Bugs outsmarting Daffy and getting him to say or do the wrong things, which usually results in dimwitted Elmer shooting him. Sounds so simple but that's the beauty of it. It's brilliant in its simplicity. Classic comedy from Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. Great voice work from Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan. One of the best Looney Tunes ever made.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) In this short film, which runs for the usual roughly seven minutes and is one of the more famous ones from the giant Warner Bros' body of work, Daffy Duck should have read the above Beckett play for his own safety. It's duck season and he tries to distract trigger-happy hunter Elmer Fudd from him by putting "rabbit season"-signs everywhere. Sadly, Fudd is not exactly a mastermind and needs help in figuring out that Bugs Bunny is, in fact, a rabbit. Daffy leaves his safe hideout (oh no he shouldn't) to tell him so, yet Bugs Bunny's wit keeps teaching Daffy one thing over and over again: It's actually duck season. Before it all ends we get to see Bugs dressed up as a desirable femme fatale. By now, you can probably guess "fatale" to whom. Oh, what a despicable bunny!

kenny_c_hueholt While other people have said this is the weakest of the Chuck Jones "hunting trilogy," I actually think this one's the best. I always get a kick out of that "Would you like to shoot me now or wait till you get home?" gag. It's funny how no matter what, it's always Daffy that gets shot, not Bugs. Oh, and I liked Daffy's line at the beginning, "Awfully unthporting of me, I know, but hey I gotta have some fun!"
