Merrie Melodies - Fresh Hare (1942)

Elmer Fudd is a mountie who is trying to catch the "wanted" Bugs Bunny. He lays a carrot on the snowy ground for Bugs to grab before cuffing him. Then Bugs locks Elmer to the bomb that Elmer was trying to get Bugs in. It explodes while Bugs pretends to look for the keys. Elmer gets angry, but Bugs fools him as being the guard after taking his hat, while Elmer's clothes then are removed, even his underwear. A chase through the snow happens, including a part where Bugs' ears split around a tree, but Elmer hits it. The impact causes all the snow to fall off the tree, which reveals Christmas decorations, and Elmer emerges from underneath with snow on his face that gives him a Santa Claus appearance. The song Jingle Bells plays in the background, and Bugs says to the astonished Elmer, "Merry Christmas, Santy!" and burrows his way out of Elmer's path.
Bugs then talks to a snowman that is supposed to be Fudd, saying that Elmer can't catch Bugs, let alone catch a cold, and even threatening to punch the mountie square in the nose. When he finishes making his fist, he turns around and strikes Elmer. Bugs then pretends to be Elmer's shotgun, making noises. The chase continues through the snow, forth and back, until Bugs makes a painting of himself on a rock, and Elmer runs into the icy wall.
Elmer gives up trying to catch the rabbit, sobs in tears, and then says that he's a disgrace to the regiment for failing to catch Bugs. Bugs comforts Elmer and promises to give himself up and lets Elmer take him in. Just before Bugs is sentenced to death by a firing squad, Elmer tells Bugs that he can make one last wish before he dies. Bugs then stars singing "(I Wish I Was In) Dixie", which inexplicably turns into a blackface minstrel performance of "Camptown Races".
