Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBugs' chastising of Elmer for calling his rifle a gun is a very inside reference to a dirty joke popular among WW2-era soldiers, based on their use of the word "gun" as a slang term for "penis." The entire joke is, "This is my rifle/This is my gun/This one's for fighting/This one's for fun."
- GoofsWhen he is transformed into the old lady, Elmer drops his gun. Yet, after Boy Scout Bugs helps him across the street, the gun is lying on the ground on that side.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: [wearing a judge's wig] You're a family man, Monahan, so I'm only going to sentence you to 45 years, at hard labor. One thing I cannot stand is a dishonorable police officer.
Elmer Fudd: [as a bride] Ohhhh, ju-u-u-udge? Will you marry me?
Bugs Bunny: [groom's hat flies on top of Bugs' head] Certainly, my darling sweety. I would be delighted to marry up with you.
However, the real highlights here are the abstract backgrounds. One of the things I love about this era of Looney Tunes is how experimental the crew got in making unique-looking backdrops, a far cry from the realistic styles from the late '30s to early '50s. The setting is an early fall forest, but it's not drawn lushly as to imitate real life; its influence is more UPA and magazines of the time, where objects such as trees and rocks are more loosely defined but still recognizable to the human eye as to what they are. The color combinations are similarly fantastic, with the predominant color being green, but mixed with browns and blacks, plus splashes of reds and yellows to signify fall. Still frames from this cartoon could be used as actual paintings in a museum, they're that striking. At the same time, the backgrounds don't overtake the comedy- it's more something extra you appreciate after you've seen the cartoon a couple times.
This wasn't the only LT cartoon to experiment with background styles, but it was one of the most impressive results.
