The story of Bugs Bunny, Elmer the giant and Aloysius...

This episode seems to be the story of Jack and the Beanstalk - but instead there's a duck a lot like Daffy Duck (and at the moment we're presuming he's Jack). He throws away some beans, a beanstalk grows blah blah blah... Well, Daffy Duck climbs up, meets a rabbit in bed, thinks about the gold he's going to find, meets a giant and when the rabbit says he is Jack, Daffy Duck insists that he is called Aloysius. How confusing...

A witty Daffy Duck short, also featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd as the evil giant, in the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk" - but of course it HAS to be different!

Good for people who are not totally obsessed with Looney Tune episodes having every other joke a slapstick one and good for Daffy Duck fans in general. Unlike the title suggests, this short is mainly about the little black duck!

Enjoy "Beanstalk Bunny", whether you think there is a character called Aluwuisess featured or not! :-)
