Which Is Witch

Which Is Witch is a Looney Tunes cartoon released by Warner Bros. in 1949, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce. It was released on December 3, 1949, and features Bugs Bunny. The cartoon has been taken out of circulation in recent years due to racially insensitive depictions of Africans.

Plot

In Darkest Africa, Bugs Bunny runs afoul of Dr. I.C. Spots, the diminutive witch doctor of a nearby tribe who wants to use the rabbit in a potion. Realizing he's about to be cooked, Bugs flees from the doctor, disguising himself as a native. The doctor sees through the disguise and chases Bugs to the river, where the bunny makes for a nearby ferry boat. Dr. Spots follows, but is swallowed by a crocodile. Bugs beats up the reptile and turns it into a crocodile-skin bag, with the tiny witch doctor inside dressed in crocodile shoes.

Reception

The Film Daily reviewed the film on January 1, 1950: "When Dr. Ugh, Witch Doctor extraordinary for a tribe of little people, decides it's time to leave. The jungle medico learns he can't split the hare, and B.B. emerges victorious once more. Wonderful cartoon."
