The Big Snooze is a 1946 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon planned by Bob Clampett and finished by Arthur Davis, who were both uncredited as directors.

He tears up his Warner Bros. cartoon contract and walks off the set to devote his life to fishing, stunning Bugs, who piteously asks him to reconsider.

Bugs inspects his handiwork, then lifts the backdrop to reveal a trio of literal wolves in Zoot suits, lounging by the sign at Hollywood and Vine, who catcall at Elmer.

Bugs faces the audience in a closeup, finishing with the catchphrase from the "Beulah" character on the radio show Fibber McGee and Molly,[3] "Ah love dat man!"

Animation historian Jerry Beck writes, "In The Big Snooze, Clampett, who has drawn up imaginary worlds several times before, outdoes himself with the imagery in Elmer's nightmare.

The abstract rabbits foreshadow the minimalism of United Productions of America (UPA) cartoons, and the surreal landscape combining clouds, yellow skies, and musical notes is the closest we'll come to visualizing a Looney Tunes acid trip.

According to historian Milton Gray, Arthur Davis completed the short but didn't understand Clampett's humor, so he had to finish what he had and scrapped the rest.
