- TriviaDue 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.
- GoofsDr. Spots' shield was lying on the ground when Bugs pretended to photograph him. In the next shot, the shield disappeared.

[first lines]
Bugs Bunny: [reading off the signs] "Hubba Hubba, one mile. Kuka Munga, one mile." Hm, well, I'll flip to see which way I go. Heads I go this way. Tails I go that way.

Bugs Bunny: Heh! Tails! I go that way.
Featured review
Bugs and the Witch Doctor
Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons. Actually appreciate it even more through young adults eyes, due to having more knowledge of it, various animation styles, studios, directors and how it all works.
'Which is Witch' is not one of Friz Freleng's best cartoons by any stretch, in a period where he had hit his stride and in one of his better periods. It is certainly entertaining and well above average, but it's not one of Freleng's funniest, most imaginative, cleverest or wildest. He did do better than 'Which is Witch' before, during this period and since, but it is a long way from a lesser effort. The presence of Bugs Bunny alone is enough to elevate the cartoon's quality.
It can be argued that some of the content is not for the easily offended, some of it is stereotypical and not in a subtle way and a way that can come over as questionable. There are far more offensive cartoons around though, like 'Angel Puss', 'Plane Dumb', some of the "Censored 11" and some other stereotype-heavy cartoons from Van Beuren.
Also it is a cartoon that is a product of its time and while interesting from a historical perspective it doesn't hold up so much now. The ending agreed is lame, instead of ending on a bang or being uproarious it instead felt too pat and rather cutesy. The story is slight and the pace is not always razor sharp.
However, Bugs shows why he is one of the best and most justifiably popular and famous characters in animation and ever, with such a great personality. The witch doctor is an amusing if somewhat stereotypical foil and they work really well together.
The animation is bright in colour, fluid and rich in detail and smooth in movement and design. Ever demonstrating why he has always been my personal favourite of the Looney Tunes composers, Carl Stalling provides yet another energetically characterful, beautifully orchestrated and cleverly action-enhancing music score.
Furthermore, there is very amusing and witty dialogue. Same with the gags, there are many and they are funny, sometimes hilarious, clever and well animated but there are more hilarious and more inventive around. Mel Blanc's voice work is terrific as always.
Overall, pretty good and well above average. 7/10 Bethany Cox
