When a beanstalk sprouts from a rabbit hole, Jack (Daffy Duck) climbs it. So does Bugs (his bed went up with it). And Elmer is the mean Giant. Written by Ed Stephan <stephan@cc.wwu.edu>
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.
