I loved all the movies that paired Bugs Bunny with Daffy Duck. In each, Daffy was a selfish jerk who again and again got the worst of it. However, of all these pairings, I think this classic is the best. Yes, as usual the animation and writing are great,...but more importantly it's gosh darn funny! Elmer Fudd is hunting and Daffy and Bugs are doing their best to get the other one shot. Daffy begins by putting up signs saying it's rabbit season and Bugs responds in kind. Then, when Elmer catches up to them, they debate back and forth about whether it's rabbit season or duck season. Elmer is confused, but in the end, ends up shooting Daffy after each little debate--with comical results.
I think that apart from the wonderful interactions between these characters, the other reason this is such a great cartoon is the ending--which I will not divulge, lest it spoil your viewing.
Finally, if you enjoyed this short, I also recommend you see RABBIT SEASONING--a slight reworking of this plot. Both are Bugs and Daffy at their very best.
