So Much for So Little is a 1949 American short documentary film directed by Chuck Jones. It won an Academy Award in 1950 for Documentary Short Subject, tying with A Chance to Live. As a work of the United States Government, the film is in the public domain.

Synopsis

The cartoon states that, annually, 118,481 babies out of 2 million will die before reaching their first birthday. Thus, the cartoon shows John E. Jones, a baby that may add to this statistic if not given proper healthcare. The cartoon proceeds to show most of John's life, including his school years, marriage, later life (as a father), and his golden years, providing other helpful health information along the way. Before the cartoon ends, however, it returns to John as a baby, reminding the audience that John needs proper healthcare to survive. The cartoon then states that if every American paid just three cents a week, sufficient healthcare could be provided for John and babies everywhere.

The premise of the framing animation was a general parody of the popular 1970s/1980s television series Fantasy Island, with Daffy and Speedy playing caricatures of that series' principal characters, Mr. Roarke and Tattoo (respectively). They even wear the white suits worn on that show by Mr. Roarke and Tattoo.

Satan, the Head Devil, loses his left horn, which is found by an elderly man in Britain (there are clues to the cartoon's location; the bin says "Keep Britain Tidy" and Rule Britannia is heard twice) who uses it as a hearing trumpet. Soon the man experiences a series of aural and visual hallucinations: A bug sounds like a locomotive; a butterfly causes him to see strange patterns; a short man in a pink suit makes mischief, at one point pulling a telephone from the horn and turning the phone's mouthpiece into a shower outlet. These hallucinations become steadily more strange and frightening before finally culminating in a "GIGANTIC EXPLOSION!" Having suffered enough, the gentleman leaves the horn behind in favor of his original hearing trumpet, which he had thrown out at the cartoon's beginning. After he leaves, Satan materializes and is glad to find his missing horn; he screws it back on and disappears. The cartoon ends with the moral: "The other fellow's trumpet always looks greener".

The cartoon starts with a brief narration describing a labor shortage that "became so bad" that compels employers to hire "anybody or anything". Daffy is a hotel bellboy and Elmer Fudd is the manager. Elmer tells Daffy to take a customer to room 666. The customer (voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan, in his natural voice), asks for peace and quiet, and suddenly threatens to punch Elmer in the nose if disturbed at any time.

Le lapin Bugs Bunny creuse sous la terre pour rejoindre son lieu de villégiature, « La Brea Tar Pits » à Los Angeles, mais son tunnel débouche par erreur en Écosse. Il se dit qu'il a dû raté le virage pour Albuquerque. Il voit tout à coup un Écossais en kilt (nommé MacRory en anglais) jouant de la cornemuse. Il prend la cornemuse et l'Écossais pour un monstre attaquant une femme. Il frappe de toutes ses forces et s'acharne sur la cornemuse qui « expire » peu à peu, la met en pièces. L'Écossais est furieux. Bugs découvre sa méprise mais est encore persuadé que MacRory porte une jupe et trouve cela indécent. Quand Bugs le lui dit, l'Écossais rougit de confusion, et Bugs s'empresse de l'habiller avec un tonneau évidé.

Le cartoon commence avec Elmer en train de contrôler les éclairs. Elmer brise le quatrième mur en chantant sa phrase fétiche « Ne faites pas de bruit, je chasse le lapin. » Elmer suit les traces de Bugs et dans le trou de ce dernier, il envoie de vifs coups de lance alors que Bugs est dans un autre trou. Ce dernier lui chante « Ô puissant guerrier au javelot vengeur ? Pourrais-je te demander un Quoi d'neuf docteur ? » Elmer lui répond « Je dois tuer le lapin ». Bugs lui demande : « Ô puissant chasseur, ce n'est pas aisé, c'est un dur labeur alors comment procéder ? » Elmer répond : « J'utiliserai ma lance et le casque magique ! » Bugs rétorque « La lance et le casque magique ? » Elmer dit : « Oui, casque magique ! » Bugs dit alors : « Casque magique... » et Elmer lui rétorque : « Oui, et son pouvoir est unique ! »
