Trivia
"That's thirty for today" references an old expression meaning the end of a story. 19th century telegraph operators used "XXX" as an end-of-message flag to confirm that the message did not get cut off in the middle. Roman numerals XXX equal 30, so "30" came to be slang for the end of a story and, later on, the end of anything, including a speech, a work shift or even life.

Goofs
Before meeting the gang of dogs, Bugs passes the same door (with the 'ice' note) and the box labeled 'ice' several times.

Quotes
Bugs Bunny: Eh, what's up, dogs?
Dog #1: What is it?
Dog #2: Hey, maybe it's a giraffe, the giraffe!
Spike: Nah, that ain't no giraffe. A giraffe's got a long neck like this
[Pulls on Bugs' neck]
Spike: Hey, fellows, it's a rabbit.
Dog #1: Oh, a rabbit.
Spike: Dog pile on the rabbit!
Dogs: [as they all jump on top of Bugs] Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!...
Bugs Bunny: [Hopping on top of the dog pile] Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!

Manhattan, despite his Brooklyn-Bronx accent

In his first before-he-was-famous story (followed by "What's Up, Doc?"), Bugs Bunny tells a never-seen reporter of how he grew up in New York City and had to defend himself against a gang of tough dogs. Not surprisingly, the wascawwy wabbit makes mincemeat out of the dastardly canines no matter what the situation.

I would actually say that it's a little strange that they have Bugs grow up in Manhattan. After all, he's partly famous for his Brooklyn-Bronx accent; it's part of what gives him his edge. Then again, maybe I shouldn't dwell on that. The point is that this is a really cool classic cartoon. Definitely worth seeing.

I wonder what was with the accent that Bugs put on at the beginning of the interview.
