What happens

Pre-Hysterical Hare is a 1958 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Robert McKimson and written by Tedd Pierce. The short was released on November 1, 1958, and stars Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. The two are in their usual hunter-and-bunny antics, but set in the Stone Age. The first half of the title is a play on "prehistorical". This cartoon marks one of the few instances where Elmer Fudd is voiced by somebody other than Arthur Q. Bryan during the latter's lifetime, being voiced by Dave Barry instead. The film contains footage from the 1950 short film Caveman Inki directed by Chuck Jones and animated by Lloyd Vaughan, Ken Harris, Phil Monroe and Ben Washam. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
