Technically speaking, Bugs Bunny appeared in three other films before this one. However, the look and especially the sound of the Bunny were quite different. However, here he looks close to the classic rabbit and sounds just like him--but more importantly he acts like him, as he outsmarts Elmer Fudd again and again in this film.
As would be the case in many subsequent films, Elmer is out rabbit hunting and unfortunately his prey is a lot smarter than he is. Time and time again, he is defeated by the fast-thinking Bugs.
What makes this film outstanding is its historical importance as well as the beauty of the cartoon. The animation and especially the backgrounds are stunning--and much nicer than in later Bugs cartoons. Clever and worth seeing for any fan of animation.
