While I'm not usually a fan of Elmer Fudd, this was one of my favourite Warner Brothers' cartoons when I was a child even though at the time I had no idea that it was based on the music of Wagner.
It is great seeing Elmer Fudd singing about how he is going to kill the wabbit with his spear and magic helmet before falling in love with Bugs after the latter slips into a disguise as an operatic heroine. Of course the disguise slips and Elmer summons lightning bolts to strike down the fleeing Bugs.
Here Chuck Jones has given us one of the best cartoon shorts that I've seen, they certainly don't make them like this any more sadly.
