My Green Fedora is a 1935 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short film directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The short was released on May 4, 1935.[2]

It features a song, "I'm Wearin' My Green Fedora", written by songwriters Al Sherman, Al Lewis, and Joseph Meyer specially for this short.

Plot

Peter Rabbit is assigned by his mother to babysit his baby brother Elmer. Peter reluctantly does so, though nothing he tries will stop his baby brother from crying. What works is Peter dressing in some old clothes, including a green fedora. He sings a song to match the hat. When Peter is not looking, a weasel snatches the baby and runs off to the tunnels underneath the house. Peter gives chase and manages to take care of both the weasel and Elmer with a garden hose.

Reception

The Motion Picture Herald gave it a below-average review due to the perceived scariness of the weasel, calling it "Not quite so good as some of this series. A little too scary for the kiddies."[3]
