BANNED CARTOON #1 - BUGS BUNNY

This Merrie Melodie is entitled "All this and rabbit stew" and aired in 1941. It was banned from the airwaves since 1968 for racial stereotyping. This short features Bug Bunny being hunted by a slow-witted, big lipped, gambling, African-American hunter. Eventually this character would undergo several changes and become the beloved Elmer Fudd.
