It's the dead of winter and the Wolf is starving. A rather dim rabbit stumbles into the Wolf's lair and instead of being afraid, he befriends the wolf and melts the starving wolf's heart.
This Hugh Harmon cartoon would have been much better had it been made a few years earlier--back when sweet cartoons were the rage. But by 1942, cartoons were becoming crazier--more violent, funnier and just plain weird, with MGM acquiring Tex Avery and Looney Tunes churning out some of their best work. However, there unfortunately was Hugh Harmon who was also at MGM at the same time as Avery--and although his cartoons looked beautiful (and this one does), it's also very sweet and nice. And, I gotta be honest...I don't WANT nice and sweet, I was crazy and violent! Despite coming from MGM, it looks nothing like an Avery or Tom and Jerry cartoon....and soon this would be all the studio would be making.
