. . . of his "Wabbit" hole to smooch Elmer Fudd three times on the mouth in A WILD HARE. The plot of this eight-minute animated short establishes that: 1)Rabbits love carrots, 2)Birds sing in trees, and 3)You can pick up a skunk by its tail WITHOUT getting sprayed. But the rules are constantly changing for Hollywood. They may have done a scene-for-scene remake of PSYCHO, but just try doing the same with such classics as BIRTH OF A NATION or GONE WITH THE WIND nowadays. By the same token, Bugs' Pretzeling of Mr. Fudd's rifle here puts A WILD HARE on the NRA boycott list, along with BAMBI and THE YEARLING. The only way that a major Tinsel Town studio could conclude A WILD HARE today would be with product placement for "Wabbit" jerky!
