Maybe Elmer Shouldn't Be Armed Anyway
-
They're making new Looney Tunes, which is fine, and the animation and style are in line with the classics, which is also fine. One thing I noticed, though, that nobody is mentioning in their coverage: While the sample they released is a traditional Bugs-Elmer battle, there's one thing missing. Elmer is chasing Bugs without a rifle. It's not mentioned, not explained. Why would a hunter chase a rabbit without a gun? (He briefly wields an ax and a scythe, but ineffectually, and no firearms.) And if it's because, you know, guns are violent, the entire premise of the cartoon is Bugs repeatedly blowing Elmer up with dynamite. It's plenty violent. But no rifle. Interesting. (Variety)
