All This and Rabbit Stew

Your typical Bugs Bunny chase cartoon, although he doesn't dress up in this one and Elmer Fudd's place been taken by a black hunter, which probably is the reason why it was banned in the first place.

The hunter tries to catch Bunny in which he obviously doesn't succeed, as he has an encounter with a huge bear and falls from a mountain a number of times. When in the end he finally does catch him, Bugs persuades him into a game of dice which the black hunter loses, and Bugs is leaving him without his gun and clothes.

Maybe a bit racist (though the hunter basicaly does the same things as Elmer Fudd), this cartoon isn't the best Bugs Bunny has offered the world. 5/10.

The most hilarious Bugs Bunny short I have ever seen.Bugs Bunny versus a not quite inteligent hunter.The sadistic rabbit gives a grand show,even stripping the poor man.No repetitions.You have to see it.(By the way the hunter is not caucasian but I fail to see what is the point mentioning it against this short).

Unless you can find this in a video store that deals in obscure or underground films (which is how I found it) chances are you will never see this short. Too bad, it's damn funny. In place of Elmer Fudd, we have a little black sambo stereotype as Bugs' foil. The kid is, of course put through the same rigors that anybody foolish enough to hunt Bugs, gets put through. It is capped off by Bugs hypnotizing the kid by rattling a pair of dice, and taking all of his possessions in a crap game. Is it wrong to laugh at, I don't think so, if that were then the case, it would be wrong to laugh at Redd Foxx or Richard Pryor, or when they rip on Whitey. (And are hilarious when they do) I doubt Warner Brothers will ever release this, or many other of their cartoons that are on this same level, on DVD. Which in a way, is kind of sad...

Well, to be fair to the other reviews of this short, the hunter is basically Elmer, except black. But to counter most of the reviews, it not one of the best ones, or one that is a must have. I do think that it is an interesting short to watch, considering the time period in which it was made. Although some would disagree, I don't view this short as portraying the hunter dumb BECAUSE he is black, but it does stereotype him by the accentuated lips and of course, the craps game at the end. A good piece to watch for study, but not for entertainment.

This Bugs Bunny short is very racist, in the way that Bugs BUnny is being hunted by a black man who is depicted as being stupid and slow. At the time this was being made, it is almost certain that this short was an insult to black people and the only reason this episode is excusable nowadays is because at the time, many people did not realize that this insulting is horrid.

The only reason I watched it is because I am a Looney Tunes fan and I am interested in racist episodes because they are like nothing nowadays (which is a good thing). I give this quite a high rating because the jokes are very good in "humour" rather than "insulting" terms and the animation is good. That is the only reason I like this short.

As I have said before, here a black man is hunting Bugs Bunny. Here Bugs goes through the same things that he usually does with Elmer (running away, playing tricks and the like).

I recommend this only to Looney Tunes fans who do not mind rascism too much and for cartoon historians. For most of the modern world, it is an excruciating thing to watch - which is a good thing. :-)
