      ADD NOTES
      • Dan McFoo shares the same personality and voice of Elmer Fudd, because Arthur Q. Bryan provided their voices. Edit
      • "Elmer's Candid Camera" was made in 1939, not 1940 as it says on the cartoon card: "Made in MCMXXXIX" which is 1939 whereas 1940 would've been MCMXL. Edit
