Awesome Movie
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
This is an okay cartoon short from the Warner Bros. Studio, but it's not among its best.Elmer decides to take up photography, and goes out to take pictures of animals. When he gets there, he meets a rabbit, (who looks like Bugs, but there is no mention that it is actually him) who proceeds to make it difficult for Elmer to enjoy his new hobby.There are some funny parts in the cartoon, such as when Elmer is actually trying to photograph the rabbit. Simply put, the rabbit is not going to just allow Elmer to take his picture. However, there are some parts that were just a bit silly. This is really an average cartoon.
Elmer's Candid Camera (1940) *** (out of 4)Elmer, in his first appearance, is reading a photography book, which inspires him to head out into the wilderness to photo some wildlife. Sadly for him his first target is a troublesome rabbit (a future Bugs Buggy). This certainly isn't classic Looney Tunes but it's a fairly entertaining short in its own right. I think most people will prefer the more classic approach to the characters but if you're fair to this film then you should enjoy it. Not too much happens storywise as Elmer keeps getting jokes played on him. None of the jokes are all that funny but that doesn't mean there isn't any charm here. The highlights are certainly the sequences where Elmer finally goes overboard and blows his cool after the rabbit plays all his jokes.
A fat Elmer Fudd plans to take picture of wildlife, and then he runs into a very crude early version of Bugs Bunny who torments him without end in this vaguely amusing short. Obviously the characters of both Bugs and Elmer aren't nearly fully realized in this earlier short, but you can tell that it's on it's way, even if it had a tad to go to get there. It's worth watching for it's historic value, but it's not particularly great either. And if eternally grateful that they did away with Bugs Bunny's jackass type laugh in later shorts. This cartoon is on Disk 3 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1"My Grade: C-
The Elmer character is different from the one we are more familiar with from the toons of the late 40's and 50's. The rabbit character is a prototype of Bugs Bunny. Interestingly, the rabbit has a laugh similar to Woody Woodpecker's at one point.
