The Old Grey Hare
AnimationComedyhuntercartoontime travelflashbackflash forwardcartoon rabbitfrenemiesreminiscingshort filmold menold age
A playful, nostalgic cartoon romp that uses time travel and aging to celebrate a lifelong rivalry between hunter and rabbit, grounded in affection and comic mischief.
Failed hunter Elmer Fudd laments that he's never able to catch the rabbit (Bugs Bunny); just then a bolt of lightning strikes, and the voice of God takes him through a flash-forward to the year 2000. Elmer and Bugs, now both elderly, look back to when they first met as babies.
