Person to Bunny is a 1960 Merrie Melodies animated cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The short was released on April 1, 1960, and stars Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.[3] It is the last cartoon to feature Arthur Q. Bryan as the voice of Elmer, and was released shortly after Bryan's death.

Plot

[edit]

Bugs Bunny is interviewed in his Hollywood home for the television show People to People by Cedric R. Burrows (a play on Person to Person with Edward R. Murrow ). Daffy Duck interrupts, wanting attention, but Bugs sends him away. During the interview, Bugs mocks Elmer Fudd, making Elmer angry. Elmer arrives to confront Bugs, but Bugs tricks him into shooting a carrot instead.

Daffy, jealous of Bugs' fame, mocks Bugs with a rabbit suit. Mistaken for Bugs, Elmer chases Daffy, leading to chaos. Bugs outsmarts Elmer and returns to the interview. Later, Bugs tricks Daffy into fainting on live television to get rid of him.

Home media

[edit]

"Person to Bunny" is available on the Looney Tunes Superstars DVD. However, it was cropped to widescreen. It was also included in the Stars of Space Jam: Daffy Duck DVD, this time in the ratio in which it was originally animated (fullscreen aspect ratio). In 2020 the cartoon was released on Blu-Ray as part of the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection once again in its correct aspect ratio.
