Looney TV: All This And Rabbit Stew (1941)

Every so often, Bugs Bunny would be matched with a hunter not named Elmer Fudd. 1941's "All This And Rabbit Stew" is one of those cases.

"Rabbit Stew" hasn't seen the light of day on television much since it was booted off Cartoon Network by its parent, Time-Warner, in 2001 due to the use of the African-American hunter (Danny Webb) as a stereotype modeled after Stepin Fechit. However, it is available online as it is in the public domain.



I remember seeing this back in the 70's, but back then, no one was that concerned about political correctness.

That one log gag brings to mind a certain cartoon that happened to be Bob Clampett's last for WB. That explains why Elmer Fudd has big shoes in the cartoon.

So they recycled the log gag? What a shock.
