Wabbit Twouble

From Freepedia

Wabbit Twouble is a Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Bugs Bunny, produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions released on December 20, 1941 by Warner Bros. Pictures. In the cartoon, Elmer Fudd expects to find rest and relaxation at Jellostone National Park, but he mistakenly sets camp in Bugs' hole, and Bugs (and a neighboring bear) don't have much leisure in mind.

It was the first Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Robert Clampett, with a story by Dave Monahan and musical direction by Carl Stalling. Sid Sutherland is the only credited animator, although at least three more, including Rod Scribner and Robert McKimson, animated on the short as well. Mel Blanc provided the voices for Bugs and the bear, and Arthur Q. Bryan provided the voice for Elmer.

For this cartoon, Elmer was redesigned as a fat man (based on voice actor Arthur Q. Bryan's own physique) in an attempt to make him funnier. the "fat Elmer" would only make four more appearances -The Wabbit Who Came to Supper, The Wacky Wabbit, Fresh Hare and Any Bonds Today? - before returning to the slimmer form by which he is better known. The title card credits are written in "Elmer Fudd-ease"; that is, written the way Elmer would say them ("Diwected by Wobbert Cwampett" and so on).
