Trivia
This cartoon caused some controversy in Canada due to Bugs' ending line, "Ah sure, I know. But aren't they all witches inside?" being viewed as too misogynistic. Bugs' closing line about Witch Hazel was edited out of commercial broadcasts in the 1980s, and was replaced in later versions with "Sure uh, I know. But after all, who wants to be alone on Halloween?".

Goofs
When Hansel and Gretel are eating the goodies in the giant pan their voices are mismatched with each other.

Quotes

Bewitched, bewitched, you've got me in your spell...

In Witch Hazel's first appearance, she tempts Hansel (Hansel?) and Gretel into her house, only to have Bugs Bunny intervene; of course, he might be just as tasty. If absolutely nothing else, it's always great to see the various and sundry tricks that Bugs comes up with on the spot - always helped, natch, by the fact that any useful substance is immediately at hand. If "Bewitched Bunny" has any problem, it's that the cartoon sort of stereotypes Germans (the children have accents like the characters in "Fargo"). But no matter, this cartoon is purely a joke, and it's impossible not to like. I'd say that Witch Hazel, with her lovable cackling, did as much to advance the cause of witchcraft as Harry Potter or Samantha on "Bewitched". A real classic.
