    Excellent Bugs, Daffy and Elmer teaming

    This cartoon is one of the better ones using all three that Warner Brothers did-almost as good as the hunting trilogy. The scene where Daffy and Bugs await their fate at the hands of Elmer is priceless! Daffy is his typical insufferable self and the ending is perfect for both Bugs and Daffy. This airs fairly often on Cartoon Network. Recommended

    Jack and the Beanstalk

    The Looney Tunes version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' with Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny climbing the beanstalk as Jack and Elmer Fudd as the giant is a great and very funny short. Especially the first half where Daffy and Bugs decide who is Jack and who Elmer must chase is hilarious.

    The story of Bugs Bunny, Elmer the giant and Aloysius...

    This episode seems to be the story of Jack and the Beanstalk - but instead there's a duck a lot like Daffy Duck (and at the moment we're presuming he's Jack). He throws away some beans, a beanstalk grows blah blah blah... Well, Daffy Duck climbs up, meets a rabbit in bed, thinks about the gold he's going to find, meets a giant and when the rabbit says he is Jack, Daffy Duck insists that he is called Aloysius. How confusing...

    A witty Daffy Duck short, also featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd as the evil giant, in the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk" - but of course it HAS to be different!

    Good for people who are not totally obsessed with Looney Tune episodes having every other joke a slapstick one and good for Daffy Duck fans in general. Unlike the title suggests, this short is mainly about the little black duck!

    Enjoy "Beanstalk Bunny", whether you think there is a character called Aloysius featured or not! :-)

    "I'll gwind your bones to make me bwead."

    Chuck Jones' version of Jack and the Beanstalk is another terrific buddy comedy with Bugs and Daffy. Daffy is Jack, Elmer Fudd is the giant, and Bugs is...well, Bugs. Daffy and Bugs are hilarious together as usual. They do a fun "he's Jack" bit that reminds me of their Hunting Trilogy greatness. Love the animation. Some cool angles and designs, as well as nice action. Everything's well-drawn and the colors are rich. Mel Blanc and Arthur Q. Bryan both provide excellent voice work. Not high on my list of favorite Chuck Jones cartoons but that's only because he had so many fantastic ones. This is definitely a funny short and worth a look for all Bugs & Daffy fans.

    Chuck Jones in his animation prime!

    The humor and timing in this cartoon is all-over fantastic, but the highlight of this cartoon is the mere 20 or so seconds of Daffy Duck yelling at Bugs inside a giant glass. Of course, Daffy making the loudest noise possible while we hear none of it outside of the glass is great (the key to comedy IS silence!) The expressions of panic and exhaustion on Daffy's face while Bugs remains calm and expressionless is worth seeing this cartoon alone. In my top five Warner classic shorts.

      The pack of matches is full when Giant Elmer starts smoking Bugs and Daffy out, but is empty after Giant Elmer uses four of them. A standard pack of matches contains 20 matches - to match the number of cigarettes in a standard pack of cigarettes.
