Hare Brush

Elmer is a wealthy business magnate who thinks he's a rabbit and is sent to a mental facility. The Fuddster dresses as a bunny and takes off into the forest to escape, where he meets Bugs and offers to switch places with him. Fudd's sycophants nab Bugs and hypnotize him into believing he's Elmer, by forcing him to repeat, many, many times, "My name is Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht."

In due time, Bugs (now convinced that he's Elmer) goes out into the woods in hunting garb, and happens upon Fudd, still convinced he's a rabbit. This leads to a role-reserved hunt which is soon interrupted by the IRS, who drag "Elmer" away, citing a problem with back taxes. The real Fudd happily declares, "I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I ain't going to Alcatwaz!"

New Merrie Melodies theme music begins with this cartoon.

One of the few Bugs shorts in which the rabbit doesn't come out on top, and one of Fudd's few triumphs, even though he has to don another identity in order to do it.
