According to Wikipedia, Jones saw Disney's Trick or Treat, starring Donald and the Nephews, and fell in love with the voice characterization by June Foray of Disney's Witch Hazel. He then made this, which is much more sophisticated than the excellent Disney. So I guess Prince Charming showing up for Snow White, in the wrong cartoon, was a tip of the hat to Disney. Disney made great cartoons, with great characters, and so did Chuck, but Jones understood the medium itself, as medium, far better.
From "Mama" witch to girlfriend. Bugs has some serious psychological baggage. First he shows up as the stern father figure, then denests the loathsome competitors, Hansel Und Gretel, next he lets Witch Hazel mother him, and finally makes off with her to a cozy bunny hole. Sophocles could not have done better.
@LucanVaris Sorry but that's not Lola. That's Hazel in the form of Honey Bunny, Bugs' occasional girlfriend before Space Jam. Lola wasn't around until Space Jam came out.
@DaveWollenberg yeah she did...she played in a few episodes of Witch Hazel and in the episode "Feed The Kitty" with Pussyfoot the kitten and Marc Anthony the bulldog. She played as his owner
@NBK1122 It's because the ones CN shows are among the most memorable era of the Looney Tunes shorts, which can also be found on DVD. The post 50's era (where the new shorts appear on TV) were heavily censored.
This reveals the makeup of the male population, fix a man some dinner. And he will stick around and forget that an attempt on his life was made with a hatchet.
@wurtzgood If you didn't notice it also reveals the "makeup" of the female population. She used "magic powder" to look more appealing on the outside to get Bugs, but was still continued to be a witch on the inside ;).
I remember long ago watching the ol' Bugs Bunny show on ABC that came on at night, and there was a lot of "bumpers" surrounding the cartoons, some extra animation that helped segue smoothly into a cartoon, this one in particular.
At 3:23, I would say a walking broom, oh this must be a cartoon, and the heavy weight witch can fit on it, hmm well isn't this day just full of surprises.
At 3:08, I would be like Oh Boy what have I got myself into and say oh sure you let them leave and not me, and say well yeah maybe next time, we can schedule a dinner date sometime but for now I must be leaving to find some more kids who have ran away from school, bye now.
@Keenarnor also I think it has something to do with the fact that the children are supposed to be speaking in heavy German accents so Hansel is probably saying his name in a different way than the characters are accustomed to
A running gag in the story is the thick German pronunciation of Hansel as "HAHHN-sel". According to the DVD commentary, Eric Goldberg points out that Hansel was considered an odd name back in the 1950s, hence the characters trying to pronounce it right.
The voices are Bea Benaderet and Mel Blanc - Later known as Betty and Barney Rubble.

I refer to it as the goddess-dominatrix paradigm: A woman has power over
a man who desires her. She was created for him, wherefore he feels a need
for her. And she might desire him, if he is useful. And if you cannot tell
them apart, the goddess and the dominatrix, then it is as if you are wearing
a blindfold: she is Wonder Woman. As in, "Who's that girl?"

Disney cartoons come across as lifeless, no soul, demonic even.
Whereas Looney Tunes characters have personality, seem to be
full of life, and abundantly so.

zombiefan011 3 months ago
@zombiefan011
Because kids were reading the story for decades and pronouncing it "Han-sell" instead of the correct "Hahn-zel".
It was funny because German's didn't rise-up and try to destroy Hitler, their leader, so, millions of innocent people were tortured and murdered.
Any chance to loathe and ridicule Germans was considered patriotic, including mocking their accents.
"Loony Tunes" were NOT for just children.
They were shown in theaters before the movie.
Political humor ruled.
