Interesting.
They FELT like they were at least 15 or 20 minutes long, lol !!
I know, right? I thought that was weird , too, when I learned that. The original pre-YouTube YouTube short. They were ahead of their time without even realizing it.
It’s funny to think of these cartoons now, like how this one’s a little over 7 minutes long, but when I was a kid they seemed longer. I love Bugs Bunny. I hope I’m more like him in my next life. 🙂
It had something to do with Warner bros. They would only allow six minute slots in programming for looney tunes to produce cartoons. So actually at seven minutes, this was a long one.
