Trivia:
Due to pressure from Warner Bros., this cartoon was one of 11 pulled from rotation by the Cartoon Network for its 2001 "June Bugs" marathon, which was to show the complete chronology of Bugs Bunny cartoons. This is in addition to the "Censored 11" that have been withheld from distribution since 1968. The reason given was the short would potentially offend African-Americans. more

One of those cartoons pulled from circulation due to racially offensive material. "Which Is Witch?" portrays Bugs Bunny getting chased by witch doctor I.C. Spots, but always outsmarting the guy. Obviously, it no longer looks appropriate how they portray Africa, but there are some funny gags throughout (namely "heads or tails"). Probably equally offensive as the representation of Africans is what happens with the crocodile.

So, it's OK to watch as long as you understand what it portrays. Personally, I wish that someone would make a movie portraying an African person teaching materialistic white people how to live communally.
