Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie stands as a testament to the rapid rise in popularity of Bugs Bunny. Only a year and a half earlier, Bugs had been introduced to the public in A Wild Hare (1940), and already the Treasury Department had commissioned a special Bugs film to sell war bonds.
- Quotes
Bugs Bunny: [singing] a tall man with a high hat and whiskers on his chin, will soon come knocking at ya' door and you'll all be in. and the tall man with the high hat will soon down ya' way, you'll soon be out when ya' hear him shout: "any bonds today?". any bonds today, bonds of freedom that's what I'm sellin'. here comes the freedom man, so buy 'em while ya' can! buy your share of freedom, today!
[puts on false whiskers]
Bugs Bunny: any bonds today? bonds of freedom that's what I'm sellin'! any bonds today? OH SAMMY! erm, my uncle Sammy.
- Alternate versionsOn official Warner Brothers shows or DVDs, a sizable portion of the short is excised as Bugs Bunny appears in blackface in a parody of Al Jolson's role in The Jazz Singer (1927). Other DVD releases leave this sequence intact.
- ConnectionsEdited into Bugs Bunny Superstar (1975)
I will say that although I would never want to join the army, it is fairly interesting to see Bugs, Porky and Elmer (why no Daffy?) singing about WWII, even if it is propaganda. Of course, if you're expecting them to do their usual Looney Tunes stuff, you'll get mighty disappointed. This cartoon is strictly about the war effort (other cartoons had them do crazy things to the Axis leaders). And knowing that at least some good things resulted from WWII, I guess that justifies this cartoon.
So if nothing else, it's worth seeing as a historical reference.
