Foxy by Proxy
Foxy by Proxy is a 1952 Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Bugs Bunny and directed by Friz Freleng. Mel Blanc voices Bugs Bunny and one of the dogs that talks in the short, while an uncredited Stan Freberg voices the large hound. This cartoon is considered a remake to "Of Fox and Hounds" from 1940; in fact, the opening sequence was "borrowed" directly from the original.
Plot.
A number of smaller hounds come out of a giant dog house, followed by a large
for most of his life.
- Due to the long production time for theatrical cartoons, the cartoon already was out of date by its release in 1960, as Edward R. Murrow had already left "Person to Person" earlier in 1959 and was replaced by Charles Collingwood.
- This short reused footage from earlier cartoons "Rabbit Fire", "Hare Brush", "All This and Rabbit Stew", "The Big Snooze", "Foxy By Proxy", and "Show Biz Bugs."
