I. Freleng. Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips. USA 1944
...yeah this one's a hard sit through. Pretty darn racist even by '44 standards, we see Bugs in a war time cartoon.
Bugs, floating in a box somewhere in the Pacific, ends up on a small island. It is sadly occupied by some Japanese soldiers, but Bugs manages to make short work of them thanks to good 'ol American knowhow.
Also racist stereotypes
I realize this was made in 1944, but dang. I mean, even the few good gags get ruined. Bugs appears as a 'Good Rumor' ice cream vendor but tosses out some slurs to the soldiers. Plus the portrayal is sadly keeping in line with the racist propaganda at the time.
I get why this one isn't aired.
