Beanstalk Bunny, a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon was released on the February 12th, 1955. This theatrical cartoon was directed by Chuck Jones, and starred Mel Blanc as the voices of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Elmer Fudd, voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan, was also featured in the cartoon.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The cartoon begins with Daffy Duck as Jack who just sold his cow for some beans from a stranger, however he feels as if he has been fooled into buying these beans. Subsequently Daffy Duck tosses out the beans and they land right into Bugs Bunny’s rabbit hole. A beanstalk erupts and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck go up the beanstalk together where they find Elmer Fudd at the top as a giant. Elmer exclaims that he wants to “gwind your bones to make me bwead." Elmer then continues to chase the two around his castle as they are trying to escape. Elmer traps Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck under a glass cake cover however they escape because Bugs has a glass cutter with him. The chase continues and finally Elmer Fudd doesn’t know where they are. Bugs Bunny wants to leave and go home; however, the selfish Daffy Duck decides to stay so that he can steal from the giant. As Bugs Bunny is running towards the beanstalk he comes across a forest of giant carrots and of course has to stop and eat. The cartoon ends with a very full Bugs Bunny resting under a half eaten, giant carrot and Daffy Duck acting like the minute and hour hands of the giant Elmer’s pocket watch. This cartoon is now available on laserdisc and has been since its release in 1994. The cartoon itself runs seven minutes and can be seen on the disc, “Hare Beyond Compare.”
