	Movies - Elmer's Candid Camera

Elmer's Candid Camera is a 1940 Merrie Melodies
cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, and first released on March 2, 1940 by Warner Bros. It markes the first appearance of the mature version of Elmer Fudd (who had evolved from Tex Avery's "Egghead" character), and the final appearance of the protypical version of Bugs Bunny.

The plot of the short has Elmer interested in taking photos of the country landscape, but Bugs finds him a convenient victim to harass, just for the fun of it. This torment eventually drives Elmer insane, causing him to jump into a lake and nearly drown. Bugs saves him - and then kicks him straight back in the lake.

Trivia

The bunny in this short is very similar to Bugs Bunny, and the personality is somewhat similar to the famous rabbit. The only major difference is that the bunny in this short has yellow gloves, furrier tail, and different voice.
