Despite popular belief, this cartoon was never fully remade substituting Elmer Fudd in place of the black hunter. One of the central scenes in the film was reanimated with Elmer in the opening of the cartoon The Big Snooze, but that's it.
One of the "Censored 11" banned from T.V. syndication by United Artists in 1968 (then the owners of the Looney Tunes film library) for alleged racism. Ted Turner continued the ban when he was hired and stated that these films will not be re-issued and will not be put on Home Video. These cartoons will probably never air on television again, and only non-Warner Bros. licensed public domain video tapes will probably ever have these cartoons on them.
This is the only Bugs Bunny cartoon among the infamous 'Censored 11'.
