comment |
All This and Rabbit Stew is a 1941 Merrie Melodies cartoon short starring Bugs Bunny. It's notable for being one of the four Bugs Bunny cartoons directed by Tex Avery and being such a controversial racially offensive cartoon that it is included on the Censored Eleven list, a list of 11 Looney Tunes cartoons banned from being distributed or broadcast in the USA, and is also one of the 12 Banned Bugs Bunny cartoons.The plot features Bugs Bunny being hunted by a slow-witted Afro-American hunter who is a hodge-podge of every possible stereotype associated with black Americans at the time. As a result it's more notorious for the controversy than for its artistic merits nowadays.The scene where Bugs fools the hunter with a hollow log over a cliff was re-used in the Bugs Bunny cartoon "The Big Snooze", only with Elmer Fudd used instead.Should not be confused with the 1950 Terry Toons cartoon short of the same name. |

The Gambling Addict: The hunter drops everything for a game of craps, which was stereotypical behavior attributed to blacks at the time. |

Public Domain Animation: This cartoon has fallen into public domain because its copyright hasn't been renewed ever since — likely due to the subject matter. This notably allowed it to be featured in the movie All About The Benjamins. |

By the Lights of Their Eyes: The hunter chases Bugs into a dark cave. Only their eyes are visible as the hunter confronts what he thinks is Bugs, but then Bugs' eyes appear behind the hunter. Turns out the hunter was attacking a bear, and when he finds out, he becomes a fireball as he speeds out of the cave. |
