Censorship

  • Due to the film's stereotyping, All This and Rabbit Stew has not been seen on television since 1968, and is one of the "Censored Eleven" group of banned Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts. It is also the only Bugs Bunny cartoon in the Censored Eleven. The cartoon was scheduled to air as part of the June Bugs 2001 cartoon marathon on Cartoon Network, even appearing with a warning stating that the cartoon may contain stereotypical depictions that may not be appropriate for some viewers, but at the last minute, this cartoon (along with 11 others) was pulled.
  • After winning a dice game, Bugs wins the black man's clothes and then runs off with them, leaving the man with nothing but a patch of leaves covering his crotch. In the course of the iris out, Bugs is seen holding the leaves. This bit is edited from some versions of the cartoon.
