I can understand now why it was edited, but cartoons like this are historical, and should be kept intact for the time it was made and all that. I didn't think much of it when I was a kid. But if I owned a copy, I'd rather have the uncensored version like this.
You can't erase cartoon history by editing it off. Although it's wrong by today's standards, it still entertained a lot of kids in those days, no matter what race they are.
I just bought a DVD called CARTOON EXPLOSION from Amazon.com that has this cartoon on it, but on the DVD it ends right at 7:07 and skips to the end card. Shame on the DVD producers =(
people ask me why i love bugs bunny? 6:55-7:31. he's cute and unpredictable although the background already gave us some kind of clue. and i too wish i was in Dixie lols
@raiderify i think they were trying to be funny at the end because when blackface was seen on screen in the 40s people would just laugh, but today this would be consider racism
if yo truly believed in canada, rite? and then how come your healthcare is gettin

This is how the cartoon is suposed to be in it's complete not edited..it's been years since I've seen it this way...and I agree no it's not insulting. I wasn't offended by it.
@TheLizzard - when it was on TV the edited version cut off Bugs when he starts singing "Dixie"...its a real abrupt cut, because the Merrie Melodies logo came on as the mounties/minstrel singers just started to sing...bad edit...
I watched this entire cartoon for years until I was around 8 or 9 when someone said it was insulting - I wasn't insulted, my parents weren't insulted, and no one I knew or know was/is insulted - I don't understand what's wrong with the entire cartoon as originally drawn?
Oh I just love this one! Watched it SO many times when I was young. It's been almost 20 years since my brother and I would watch this a my grandma's house after school. Thanks for sharing this vid!
The cartoon was hilarious. The people back then knew what real cartoons/real humor was, unlike the nonsense kids are forced to watch now. Admittedly, the end did bother me a bit, seeing as I'm black. Just seeing people in a bunch of black face paint jumping around mocking former slaves, even if it wasn't meant in a harmful or malicious way, does bother me. Video as a whole was great though. Funny.
@15comebackkid I'm not black but I agree with you about the ending! I don't think those type of portrayals are even funny at all! I tend to focus more on the other parts of the cartoon short that are actually funny.
@JamSlick i think you missed the point of the cartoon it wasnt racist, it was actually identifying with part of black heritage. it was merely playing off the irony of a black man wishing he was back in the south on the plantation of his youth, bugs is asked if he had one wish and he chooses to "go back to dixie". your a fool if you do not realize their are always extremes and two parts to every story good and bad.
@REVOLTbydesign Actually the end was a parody on a type of show that was popular during that time period: blackface. It's where white people would paint their faces black and pretend they were African-American and do all kinds of racist things because they were "black". It's considered very offensive and is the root of my "black" stereotypes that are prevalent even today. That's why the ending was cut off.
@DrsJacksonn Blackface was outlawed during the Civil Rights Movement because it was done by white actors who depicted ridiculous "black" stereotypes that are alive to this day, and it's considered very offensive. I'm not sure why they added the ending all of a sudden.
Maybe, though I think toons have different standards of what is assault and what isn't. After all they can survive explosions or getting run over. Elmer might add assault anyways just because he hates that 'scwewy wabbit'. XD
I know this is wrong to say over a cartoon...but um...at 5:48 what was Elmer pulling to know he was shooting the gun...look at his right hand...sorry. And Bugs seemed very grateful after. lol
@croftman86 Elmer was probably just pulling on Bugs's thumb; don't forget... his arms were at his sides and his hands (paws) would have been in close proximity to Elmer's.
@yousmartducky - but the cuts appear to be spontaneous, no? Because at one point, I watched a Tom and Jerry cartoon on youtube with a blackface gag, then the next day, the very same one was on TV, unedited.
good question. The story that bugs was based on was that rudolf ising went hunting and he tried to shoot a rabbit, the rabbit would get away or he missed it every time. this became a studio joke that escelated into tex avery creating the prototype daffy cartoon the cartoons were popular so they created bugs a prototype a clone of daffy. years later chuck jones decided to constantly have bugs outwit daffy resulting in him demanding to be shot and thats it.
By the way, does anyone know exactly why the attire for blackface performance was a big, ugly bowtie, white gloves and and long-tail suit? I always wondered about that....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You white people saying 'it isn't racist' need to shut up. You don't know what it feels like to be demeaned on a constant basis. Nothing to do with political correctness.
The Minstrel Show was demoralizing and demeaning. Imagine being depicted in the mos negative stereotypical way. It may have been funny to you ivory tower idiots, but not to us,
I don't appreciated people putting on black
make up to make fun of my people.
Fuck u ignorant people telling me not to complain. You have no idea.
Nice one idiot, the jews have suffered for thousands of more years than you have before any of your people were slaves. Get over yourself and join the "free world" and work to earn your place in the pecking order. Or whine that evolution saw your family fit enough to let you enjoy the spoils of 21st century ipods, internet, and fast food. When did you ever pick a field of cotton or toil with war? Oh yeah probably never, since you only read about it.
LMAO. Yes, let's compare suffering, because it's not as if Jews are not in an advantaged position isn't it? It's not as if racism and discrimination doesn't exist today?
No of course not, in your deluded little world, obviously in the 21st century, I must be living the high life.
And it's not as if Jews still go on about the holocaust? No, of course not. Only black people go on about their suffering of the past... because in your world, slavery has had no effect on black people today huh?
Nicely said. The jews were slaved for thousands of years. In Egypt and by the Germans. You don't see them going around and blaming everyone for their problems. Black people need to get over it and move on. Also black people today never had to go through that. It's just something they hang on to so that they can act like assholes and call "racism" whenever something bad comes their way. They also don't help themselves look any better with all of the gangs and thug life.
You don´t see Jews complaining? LMAO what about Israel. That is one big Jewish complaint- unnerving everyone. And i´m not even hating on Israel. I´m just saying...
@SigmaChi04 I would've snapped at u for the first line but i read thru the whole post before saying something. You have a point, but i think u shouldn't underestimate either oppression, neither that of the "african americans" nor of the jewish people. They all paid a heavy price for anything and everything they are now. sadly the jews now run the economies but the "african americans" ... are still persecuted (in the US and Canada) and most stick to the "hood"
the spoils of 21st century fast food. you´re not stupid jew- you´re a stupid american.
maybe YOU should get off the spoils of 21st century fast fóod, pause, and read the crap you wrote. pecking order? why, that´s the exact same shit hitler and his cronies were pumpig to justify to go after your people. pecking order. right...
I think what Sigma is refering to is that in today's world, all people (black, white, mexican, whatever) have it easier than when slavery was part of society. Today there are a ton of blacks that constantly refer to slavery as though they personally had to go and pick cotton and work in sub-par environments for no money and barely any food/water. The "pecking order" is just them saying that nothing should just be given to anyone, one must work to get what they want.
just as there are a lot of whites acting as if THEY personally invented things like cars. but i agree that nothing should be given free to anyone- including the work these slaves have done. so- where´s the pay? look, i´m not disagreeing with you, but it´s a complex subject. peace
it's one thing to hear bugs singing that confederate "i wish i was in dixie" song...but how am i supposed to explain the "black face" gag to my kids....
This show was not made for kids. Kids just started watching it. The older the looney tunes episode, the more likely you will see something racist. All this and Rabbit stew was a really bad one though.
Remember that these were first made in the 40's.
Not to say that racism is okay because it is not. Anyone who trys to encourage racism GFYS.
No one calls Loony Tunes racist for Elmer Fudd, and he's as stereotypical as they come. The only reason people think "All this and Rabbit Stew" is racist is because they show a black guy. Even though they make fun of him they make fun of everyone else to. People just get scared when someone dares make a joke about a black guy. It's the stupidity of racial sensitivity.
Did you not notice the fact that they depicted him as unintelligent with a gambling problem. Loony Tunes has some racial jokes. I still watch it though.
my meemaw and grandad had a videotape of this cartoon and the one where daffy messes with the ww2 bird guy. I never noticed the cotton fields and the black face as a kid, I just liked the end because of the song
I know the cenorship on a lot of cartoons were done for a reason but I've seen this cartoon and other like it with out being cut and looked fine to me...what child is going to know the meaning behind it....Hell I never did when I was a child watching bugs bunny.
The end of this cartoon where Bugs proclaims his last wish in a chorus of "I Wish I Were in Dixie", which is followed by Bugs, Elmer Fudd and the Mounties all in blackface singing "Camptown Races" has been targeted for censorship because of its stereotypical depictions of African Americans. Here is a list of channels that have cut the ending and how the ending was edited
In this short, the rotund early-1940s version of Elmer Fudd is portrayed as a Mountie, in pursuit of Bugs Bunny, who is wanted for being a "screwy wabbit", across the snow-packed tundra (presumably in Canada). Elmer elaborates on the charges: "Wesisting awwest, distuwbing the peace, being a pubwic nuisance, jaywawking, conduct unbecoming a wabbit." Bugs soon teaches Elmer that these are far from the only tricks he can pull.
Fresh Hare is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon. It was directed by Friz Freleng, written by Michael Maltese, and produced by Leon Schlesinger. It was released to theatres on August 22, 1942.
The title is a typical WB pun (as in "fresh air") that has little or nothing to do with the plot, other than being set in the crisp, frigid air of a Canadian winter.
Resisting an officer, assault and battery, trespassing, disturbing the peace, miscellaneous misdemeanors, public nuisance, traffic violations, going through a boulevard stop, jay walking, triple parking, conduct un-becoming to a rabbit, violating traffic regulations
Another thing I wanted to note. The ending seemed like an innocent gag of nostalgia, not actually glorifying the Minstrel Shows. Even black people laughed at these moments back then.
It also goes back to the basis of cartoons. Everything is a stereotype, a charicature. Hell, we're forgetting the most famous black character in these shorts: Daffy Duck.
One of my top 10 favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons. He IS without a doubt the original master of trolling. XD

By the way, does anyone know exactly why the attire for blackface performance was a big, ugly bowtie, white gloves and and long-tail suit? I always wondered about that....

You white people saying 'it isn't racist' need to shut up. You don't know what it feels like to be demeaned on a constant basis. Nothing to do with political correctness.
The Minstrel Show was demoralizing and demeaning. Imagine being depicted in the mos negative stereotypical way. It may have been funny to you ivory tower idiots, but not to us,
I don't appreciated people putting on black
make up to make fun of my people.
Fuck u ignorant people telling me not to complain. You have no idea.

Nice one idiot, the jews have suffered for thousands of more years than you have before any of your people were slaves. Get over yourself and join the "free world" and work to earn your place in the pecking order. Or whine that evolution saw your family fit enough to let you enjoy the spoils of 21st century ipods, internet, and fast food. When did you ever pick a field of cotton or toil with war? Oh yeah probably never, since you only read about it.

LMAO. Yes, let's compare suffering, because it's not as if Jews are not in an advantaged position isn't it? It's not as if racism and discrimination doesn't exist today?
No of course not, in your deluded little world, obviously in the 21st century, I must be living the high life.
And it's not as if Jews still go on about the holocaust? No, of course not. Only black people go on about their suffering of the past... because in your world, slavery has had no effect on black people today huh?
TheHatedHater 2 years ago
Nicely said. The jews were slaved for thousands of years. In Egypt and by the Germans. You don't see them going around and blaming everyone for their problems. Black people need to get over it and move on. Also black people today never had to go through that. It's just something they hang on to so that they can act like assholes and call "racism" whenever something bad comes their way. They also don't help themselves look any better with all of the gangs and thug life.

@SigmaChi04 I would've snapped at u for the first line but i read thru the whole post before saying something. You have a point, but i think u shouldn't underestimate either oppression, neither that of the "african americans" nor of the jewish people. They all paid a heavy price for anything and everything they are now. sadly the jews now run the economies but the "african americans" ... are still persecuted (in the US and Canada) and most stick to the "hood"

I think what Sigma is refering to is that in today's world, all people (black, white, mexican, whatever) have it easier than when slavery was part of society. Today there are a ton of blacks that constantly refer to slavery as though they personally had to go and pick cotton and work in sub-par environments for no money and barely any food/water. The "pecking order" is just them saying that nothing should just be given to anyone, one must work to get what they want.

just as there are a lot of whites acting as if THEY personally invented things like cars. but i agree that nothing should be given free to anyone- including the work these slaves have done. so- where´s the pay? look, i´m not disagreeing with you, but it´s a complex subject. peace

This show was not made for kids. Kids just started watching it. The older the looney tunes episode, the more likely you will see something racist. All this and Rabbit stew was a really bad one though.
Remember that these were first made in the 40's.
Not to say that racism is okay because it is not. Anyone who trys to encourage racism GFYS.

No one calls Loony Tunes racist for Elmer Fudd, and he's as stereotypical as they come. The only reason people think "All this and Rabbit Stew" is racist is because they show a black guy. Even though they make fun of him they make fun of everyone else to. People just get scared when someone dares make a joke about a black guy. It's the stupidity of racial sensitivity.

The end of this cartoon where Bugs proclaims his last wish in a chorus of "I Wish I Were in Dixie", which is followed by Bugs, Elmer Fudd and the Mounties all in blackface singing "Camptown Races" has been targeted for censorship because of its stereotypical depictions of African Americans. Here is a list of channels that have cut the ending and how the ending was edited

In this short, the rotund early-1940s version of Elmer Fudd is portrayed as a Mountie, in pursuit of Bugs Bunny, who is wanted for being a "screwy wabbit", across the snow-packed tundra (presumably in Canada). Elmer elaborates on the charges: "Wesisting awwest, distuwbing the peace, being a pubwic nuisance, jaywawking, conduct unbecoming a wabbit." Bugs soon teaches Elmer that these are far from the only tricks he can pull.

Fresh Hare is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon. It was directed by Friz Freleng, written by Michael Maltese, and produced by Leon Schlesinger. It was released to theatres on August 22, 1942.
The title is a typical WB pun (as in "fresh air") that has little or nothing to do with the plot, other than being set in the crisp, frigid air of a Canadian winter.

Another thing I wanted to note. The ending seemed like an innocent gag of nostalgia, not actually glorifying the Minstrel Shows. Even black people laughed at these moments back then.
It also goes back to the basis of cartoons. Everything is a stereotype, a charicature. Hell, we're forgetting the most famous black character in these shorts: Daffy Duck.

Two jokes I don't understand.
1. When Bugs is cycling through the keyring, he whistles at the key after the front door key.
2. When Bugs makes a woman-like hole in the snow, Elmer looks back at it with a high-pitched tone overheard.
Can anyone explain these to me?
Cerotype 3 years ago
1. The whistle is because he found the key to Elmer's girlfriend's house.
