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
Bugs Bunny finds himself in Dark Africa, where a short witch doctor named Dr. I.C. Spots tries to use him in a potion. Realizing he's about to be cooked, Bugs escapes, with Dr. Spots in hot pursuit. Despite a failed attempt to disguise himself, Bugs manages to elude the witch doctor by swimming to a ferry boat. Dr. Spots follows but meets his demise when a crocodile devours him. Despite their conflict, Bugs retrieves Dr. Spots from the crocodile's belly, now clad in crocodile skin attire. Making a sarcastic comment about the new fashion, Bugs emerges victorious from the encounter, even sporting a crocodile skin handbag.
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."
