Ant Pasted (1953)
Ant Pasted is a 1953 animated short film from the Looney Tunes series. It is a very weak flick.
Elmer Fudd, on a fourth of July picnic, throws some of his firecrackers into an ant colony, and the ants declare an all-out war on him. I found this premise very tiresome and boring by now as they had had such a cartoon many times before and certainly done better.
Elmer is excellent here, I do admit that as he’s always great, but he needs Bugs to fully function properly. The animation is fine and the cartoon isn’t too long, but the problem with the movie is that the ants are utterly forgettable themselves. The action is also far from great.
Ant Pasted is good in Elmer, but overall too forgettable, tiresome and boring by now.
