Elmer's Candid Camera - Evolution of The Characters

Evolution of The Characters

  • In this short the Bugs Bunny prototype now resembles Bugs except for the apricot-colored mouth, furrier tail, black nose, black-tipped ears, and a different voice. This voice sounds "rural", and at times sounds rather like Daffy Duck's early voice. The laugh at the end of the cartoon ("Heh-heh-heh-HEH-heh!"), is similar to that of another character initially voiced by Blanc, Woody Woodpecker, who would debut later in the year.
  • Elmer's voice is fully developed, and his appearance is similar to that in later cartoons, though he still wears Egghead's attire and has a shiny nose and cheeks. When in a mild-mannered mood, he is very much like the familiar Elmer. When enraged, as shown in the frame here, his appearance is decidedly uncharacteristic, nearly maniacal.

Famous quotes containing the words evolution of, evolution and/or characters:

    “The evolution of sense is, in a sense, the evolution of nonsense.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
    —Owen Barfield (b. 1898)

    “No author has created with less emphasis such pathetic characters as Chekhov has....”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
