Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis cartoon has been largely barred from TV showings because of complaints about its treatment of Inuit peoples, both in the (perceived) stereotypical way the hunter is drawn and when Bugs insults him by calling him a "big baboon" and an "Eskimo pie-head".
- GoofsAs Bugs Bunny runs toward the water, he is wearing an inflatable float devise. But suddenly, as Bugs jumps up and into the water, the float device is gone.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: Oh, you again! Well, scram! You've already ruined my vacation! Why, I ought to bang you one on your little kisser.
[Penguin starts crying, his tears turn into ice cubes]
Bugs Bunny: Oh, all right, all right! Turn off the ice factory. There, that's better. I'm sorry, but what am I gonna do with only four days vacation left? Huh? Well, now what?
[Penguin whispers into Bugs' ear]
Bugs Bunny: What? You mean the days are six months long up here? Wow! If I stay up here, I won't have to be back to work 'till July, 1953.
[Puts on top hat and tails]
Bugs Bunny: I always wanted a nice, long formal vacation. Let's go, kid.
- Alternate versionsMany TV airings of this short mute out Bugs calling the Eskimo hunter "an Eskimo pie-head," since it is considered offensive to the Inuit.
- ConnectionsEdited into Sahara Hare (1955)
The film begins with a familiar scene--with Bugs tunneling to one place but ending up in another by mistake. While he's headed to Miami, somehow he's ended up near Antarctica (where there are NO Inuits!). Soon he sees a cute little penguin being chased by the hungry native and Bugs decides to intervene. However, he does NOT want to adopt a penguin and soon leaves the creature--but returns when the native is about to eat the bird. So, Bugs pulls out his usual set of tricks (including dressing up as a woman) and gets the better of the dumb Inuit hunter...who should be living near the Arctic!
As with any Bugs Bunny cartoon from this era, the animation is exceptional and the film is full of laughs.
