That’s actually how foxhunts are ment to be… XD
At least 40 dogs are always used.
when the dogs group are running and chasing bugs, how can there be so many dogs?! it must be like 100 of them, except for the fat one
“First I’ll run through a brook to lose my sent. Then I take to the trees. Now up on a barn. Then I slide down the drain pipe and I’m…. a dead duck.”
LOL That was a good one. XD
one sequence in this cartoon is taken from a certain entity in the Censored Eleven
Call me stubby
Rather kind of Bugs to stick up for his natural enemy, isn’t it?
Though Bugs was the star, the cerebrally-challenged dog stole the show.
“Oh, boy, oh, boy! A fox hunt! I’m gonna catch a fox, and cut his tail off.”
This is my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon.
This brought back so many childhood memories of watching cartoons with my father.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Hahaha simply amazing
In some syndicated prints (particularly on ABC), the part where the large, dopey foxhound cuts Bugs’ tail with a pair of scissors and runs off with it was deleted [1] (though the actual cutting is implied, not shown), leaving the end joke where Bugs says, “Eh, just call me stubby,” unclear.
Meanwhile, the other dogs have caught up to Bugs in his costume, and he tries to evade them, but to no avail. When he reveals that he is a rabbit, one of the dogs (voiced by Blanc) declares that they are now after rabbits. After a short chase, which includes Bugs running through an open log, Bugs then runs back into the log, and while the dogs run into it, Bugs turns the log three times to ensure that the crowd of dogs always run off the cliff, with the crowd falling to the ground
At this point, Bugs (with his fox costume back on) stamps fox tracks to mislead this hound, which lead to train tracks, which the dog continues to follow. When the dog finally reaches Bugs (in costume) and tries to get him, Bugs questions what kind of tracks the dog was following, which ends up putting the dog on the front of a locomotive, while the dog exclaims that he caught a train.
Once Bugs directs the larger fox where the others went, Bugs digs out a fox costume he had from his hole and begins to play tricks with the large fox hound, leaving Bugs amazed at the dog’s inability to recognize a rabbit from a fox. Once the large hound realizes the difference, he runs back to the tree where Bugs was standing, only to find Bugs undressed. The rabbit giggles at the dog’s intelligence, declaring, “I’ve seen better heads on a glass of root beer!”
The cartoon opens with hunters (aboard horses) blowing horns to awake fox-hunting dogs. A number of smaller hounds come out of a giant dog house, followed by a large fox hound (this is the dog voiced by Freberg) who is excited by the prospect of the hunt- especially the moment where the fox’s tail is to be cut off. The hunters and dogs then pass over Bugs’ hole, waking him, with the larger fox hound lagging behind.
Foxy by Proxy is a 1952 Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Bugs Bunny and directed by Friz Freleng. Mel Blanc voices Bugs Bunny and one of the dogs that talks in the short, while an uncredited Stan Freberg voices the large hound. This is a remake of Of Fox and Hounds from 1940. In fact, the opening sequence was “borrowed” directly from the original version.
Aw poor Bugs getting his tail cut off but it was nice of him to defend the Fox we never saw.
The pile of running dogs was absolutely epic! I wonder what that dog will do with Bugs’ tail….
“He’ll catch on any minute now, ”
“Hey, ya know somethin, that was the fox all the time” lmao
This cartoon never gets old.
Just call me stubby
HA HA HA HA HA
The log-turning gag was also used in The Big Snooze and All This and Rabbit Stew.
“I GOT A GOOD TRAIN… I CAUGHT A TRAIN… ALL BY MYSELF I CAUGHT A TRAIN… I did…”
I Absolutley never get tired of that part.
You’ll laugh yourself to tears
