A Wild Hare (1940)
10/10
Hedy Wamarr? Bawbwa Stanwyck? Owivia de Haviwand? Did children recognize those names in 1940?

On one level, "A Wild Hare" is a historical reference as it was the first teaming of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. But even ignoring that, it's still a hoot, with that "wascawy wabbit" making mincemeat of Elmer.

There's just one thing that raises my eyebrows nowadays. Elmer asks about Hedy Lamarr, Barbara Stanwyck and Olivia de Havilland. Did six-year-old children in 1940 know who those women were, cuz I sure didn't recognize those names when I was six.

Oh well, it's still a great cartoon. Always a classic. And it sure wasn't the wast time that that wascawy wabbit twicked Elmer Fudd.

Olivia de Havilland. Just yesterday, I saw "The Adventures of Robin Hood", and let me tell you: she looked hot in those dresses!
