Friz Freleng, Yankee Doodle Bugs, USA 1954
The return of Clyde! You know, Bugs' nephew? Last seen in 1951's His Hare-Raising Tale?
Clyde is having some trouble with his history homework. Thankfully dear old Uncle Bugs is at hand and more than willing to regale his nephew with tales of America's founding and history.
Better than a clip show at least. The short breaks down into eight segments, each one focusing on a different part of America's history (Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, Washington crossing the Delaware, etc.).
Not bad, but Clyde is a bit too flat to really contribute anything, but the jokes are good; although this does suggest that Bugs has been kicking around this land since at least 1780's.
