Trivia

The final classic Warner Bros. cartoon short to use the traditional "bullseye" opening/closing logos. After this, all new WB shorts up to 1969 would use the modern "abstract" opening/closing logos.

Goofs

When Bugs says "I don't see why anybody thinks these club initiations are dangerous...", the audio is a few frames behind his mouth.

User Reviews

Good later Warner Brothers short

Though there are fans who dislike the Warner Brothers output from 1964 or thereabouts to 1969, I don't think it was all that bad. It certainly doesn't match the best of the heyday, but a lot of it was entertaining. This one was enjoyable, if not a true classic, but then, there were less than extraordinary shorts in the 1930s, '40s and '50s also. Bugs Bunny's retirement followed this (at least theatrically-like many stars of the silver screen, Bugs did television to keep himself in carrots) until 1990. You just can't keep a good hare down. Worth watching. Recommended.
