Help Me Find This Half-Remembered Cartoon

September 4, 2017 3:07 AM

In my youth, I saw a cartoon where somebody runs into a room so fast that they end up running right out again. I would have seen it in the 70s or 80s but it could have been from an earlier era. Can you help me find it?

Here's how I remember it:

Bugs Bunny is in a room. Somebody (Yosemite Sam?) wants to get in. So Sam runs at the door, hoping to break it down-- but Bugs opens the door before Sam gets there. As a result, Sam's momentum carries him all the way through the room and right out the other side.

But my memory is vague. It might not have been Bugs and Elmer, and it might not even have been Warner Brothers. All I'm sure about is that somebody ran into a room so fast, they ended up running out.

Googling "Bugs Bunny door" turns up this entirely different door gag as well as this one. But neither one has the running-all-the-way-through-the-room element.

Oh Christ I know this. And while I couldn't find it, I DID find a clip where Elmer Fudd's head goes through a door and Bugs Bunny paints it blue, possibly answering this question.

Best answer: The only example that I know of is in fact in the Pink Panther series with Peter Sellers, so no cartoon at all. This one.

Best answer: You might be thinking of "High Diving Hare." Highlights here. Are you thinking of the scene starting at about 2:32?

Response by poster: When I was a kid, I loved the Pink Panther movies as much as I loved Bugs Bunny. So it seems very likely that over the decades, the scene Namlit found has merged in my memory with the one Lord Fancy Pants found. Thank you!

Found it.

Yosemite Sam is busting down the door with Bugs on the other side and...
