Facts about Duck Amuck

This cartoon nearly didn't get made because there was resistance to the idea of using Bugs Bunny in such a limited role near the end.
Released in 1953, but completed and copyrighted in 1951. During this late forties-early fifties period, Warner Bros., MGM and Disney/RKO stockpiled many cartoons, releasing them a year or two after completion.
In animation historian Jerry Beck's 1994 poll of animators, film historians and directors, this cartoon was rated the second greatest cartoon of all time.
