Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe only original animation in this short is Sam falling and his parachute being filled with silverware. Everything else is either recycled from Hare Lift (1952), Roman Legion-Hare (1955), and Sahara Hare (1955), along with an episode of The Bugs Bunny Show (1960) which used this same plot.
- GoofsIn the lions' den sequence, Bugs creeps away among the lions, pursued by Yosemite Sam. When he gets to the far wall, where the ladder up is located, he creeps away from it to the left. But in the next viewpoint, Bugs is seen going up the ladder which he had just been walking away from.
- Alternate versionsThe line spoken by Satan when Yosemite Sam first meets him is altered from the theatrical version to the television version. The theatrical version has Satan say, "Well, who in Hell are you?" On television, it was changed to, "What the devil is your name?"
- ConnectionsEdited from Hare Lift (1952)
Featured review
Yosemite Sam dies and goes to Hell, where the Devil sends him back to Earth in order to get Bugs. It's a "clip show" cartoon, folks. That means footage from older shorts is used here with the only new footage being the parts with Sam in Hell. As you can see from the reviewers before me, this sort of cost-cutting stunt doesn't sit well with many fans. I'm being a bit more forgiving than the other reviewers, however. I know that after you've seen so many of the old classic shorts, you appreciate the great ones more and really hate the cheap lazy ones like this. I totally get that but, to be fair, viewed on its own terms this isn't a terrible cartoon. The average kid who might come across this on television today won't know or care about the fact that it's cobbled together from other shorts. The old footage is fun, after all. The new isn't that hot but I did like the final joke. One thing that really stands out when watching this is that the new animation is really pitiful spliced together with the superior older stuff, before WB animation started to go to...well, Hell.
