"Any Bonds Today?" is the fan nickname for a 1942 untitled War Time Cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd and directed by Bob Clampett. With a total length of 1 minute and 38 seconds long it's the shortest officially released Looney Tunes cartoon of The Golden Age of Animation.This was one of the 12 Bugs Bunny cartoons banned by Cartoon Network for showing now racially insensitive content, though, much like "What's Cookin' Doc?", this is one of the least offensive shorts on that list. At worst, the short comes off as a product of its time, thanks to the short scene of Bugs donning blackface and singing like Al Jolson, as well as the fact that it's a commercial encouraging viewers of the time to buy war bonds. | |

No Plot? No Problem! | |
| Any Bonds Today? / int_1fffccf7 | comment |
No Plot? No Problem!: Bugs, Porky and Elmer sing and dance in order for the audience to buy war bonds. That's all that happens. But seeing that this cartoon was rushed out after the Pearl Harbor attacks on December 7, 1941, and only made to support the war effort it's understandable. | |

Patriotic Fervor | |
| Any Bonds Today? / int_23be181a | comment |
Patriotic Fervor: The cartoon plays on the fact that if you buy war bonds you're protecting "the land of the free" against the Axis. | |

Repurposed Pop Song | |
| Any Bonds Today? / int_979ca348 | comment |
Repurposed Pop Song: The song "Any Bonds Today" was basically Irving Berlin doing a rewrite of "The Yam" (which includes "any yams today?" as a repeated line), which he wrote for Carefree in 1938. In turn, that was based on a never-recorded 1931 Berlin song called "Any Love Today?". | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Any Bonds Today? / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: When this cartoon aired on the Cartoon Network ToonHeads special about lost, rare, and obscure Warner Bros. works (both live-action and animated), the entire blackface part was cut by using a simple page-turning effect. It was also one of 12 Bugs Bunny cartoons to be banned for racially insensitive content. | |

| Any Bonds Today? / int_a7850fbf | comment |
Only Known by Their Nickname: The title card reads Leon Schlesinger Presents Bugs Bunny, but it is commonly referred to as Any Bonds Today?, since the entirety of the short is a performance of that song. | |

Blackface | |
| Any Bonds Today? / int_e796ce97 | comment |
Blackface: Bugs at one point sings in Blackface. Many modern viewers assume he is imitating a black person, but in reality this is a shout-out to popular singer Al Jolson and his role in The Jazz Singer. | |
