Bugs Bunny - Any Bonds Today (1942) - Commissioned by the Treasury

A wartime cartoon starring Bugs Bunny that relates buying wartime bonds to being a patriot citizen. Controversial near the end where Bugs Bunny appears in blackface .
The 90-second cartoon, commissioned by the Treasury, was designed to encourage movie theater audiences to buy defense bonds and stamps. Its title card identifies it as Leon Schlesinger Presents Bugs Bunny, but it is more widely known as "Any Bonds Today?" It was neither considered a Looney Tunes nor Merrie Melodies cartoon and was not part of the Bugs Bunny series (but a spin-off)

Enjoy 🙏
