Evolution of ELMER FUDD - 84 Years Explained ( + History of EGGHEAD) | CARTOON EVOLUTION

CARTOON EVOLUTION #26 - Elmer Fudd

I take a look at the history and evolution of Elmer Fudd, the dopey “chicken-brained” hunter of the Looney Tunes, and one of the earliest antagonists created for the series. With origins in an earlier character known as Egghead, Elmer spent many years rotating through primitive designs. Eventually, Elmer would emerge as the original adversary of Bugs Bunny, before going on to appear in some of the most beloved Looney Tunes cartoons of all time – continuing today as one of the longest-running characters, where he continues to change in design and personality.

I discuss how Elmer has evolved over time, alongside other Looney characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian and the Space Jam franchise! I also spotlight how animators have continually changed his look, appearance and personality over time. Here's my look at Elmer Fudd (and her predecessor, Egghead) through the years!
