Bugs Bunny: Fresh Hare

Old public domain bugs bunny cartoon. Note: This cartoon from 1942 was banned from being aired on tv for over 30 years because it was considered too "racey" for the time. Also one of the first time the Elmer Fudd character appeared.

FYI - nothing from 1942 is public domain. The earliest anything is public domain is 1921/22.

You are misinfomed. Even a brand new film/cartoon/book can be public domain if the creator/writer/studios choose to release all rights and make it free. Several music groups have done that with certain songs. Something can also become public domain if a copywrite expires. The old copywrites were only good for 25 years. A very famous western author "Louis LaMour" ran into this with some of his earliest storys printed in magizines. Rights expired and stuff printed w/o his permission.

I kept waiting for the "racy" part to happen, but it never did.

Thanks for posting it anyway.

The banned "racy" part was the girly "pin-up" picture posted on the tree.

Censors were a lot stricter in those days, especially where kids programming was concerned.

@morgaine325 Public Domain is 70 years not 90

I have 2 things to say to you:

1. In the description, you said this was banned. I saw it on TV once

2. Thanks for including the deleted part ;)
