Person to Bunny is a 1960Merrie Melodies animated cartoon directed byFriz Freleng.[1] The short was released on April 1, 1960, and starsBugs Bunny,Daffy Duck andElmer Fudd.[3] It is the last cartoon to featureArthur Q. Bryan as the voice of Elmer, and was released shortly after Bryan's death.
Bugs Bunny is interviewed in his Hollywood home for the television showPeople to People by Cedric R. Burrows (a play onPerson to Person withEdward R. Murrow). Daffy Duck interrupts, wanting attention, but Bugs sends him away. During the interview, Bugs mocks Elmer Fudd, making Elmer angry. Elmer arrives to confront Bugs into apologizing for insulting him on national television, but Bugs tricks him into shooting a carrot instead.
Daffy, jealous of Bugs' fame, mocks Bugs with a rabbit suit. Mistaken for Bugs, Elmer chases Daffy, leading to chaos. Bugs outsmarts Elmer and returns to the interview. As he returns, Daffy pesters Burrows to put him on air, only for Bugs to suggest "putting him on" in order to get rid of him, which Burrows obliges. As Daffy is about to perform, he asks Bugs if his friends will see him on TV, to which Bugs responds that not only will Daffy's friends be watching, but "forty million other people" will also be watching. Daffy faints upon hearing the last line, and Bugs and Burrows cordially bid each other good night to end the cartoon.
"Person to Bunny" is available on theLooney Tunes Super Stars' Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl DVD. However, it was cropped to widescreen. It was also included in theStars of Space Jam: Daffy Duck DVD, this time in the ratio in which it was originally animated (fullscreen aspect ratio). In 2020 the cartoon was released on Blu-ray Disc as part of theBugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection once again in its correct aspect ratio.
