Bars and Stripes Forever is a 1939 Merrie Melodies short directed by Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton. It is now in the public domain.
Shenanigans in (and out of) prison. The prisoners are all anthropomorphic dogs, and they resort to all means possible to attempt a prison breakout. When the dogs in prison make a break for it, the canine cops are on their heels. The prisoners are really in the doghouse with the warden when they attempt to escape from "Alcarazz," where "stone walls do not a prison make... but they sure help!"
The original opening and production code were restored for the Turner "dubbed version". However, the original ending is cut and replaced with the 1938 Leon Schlesinger "dubbed" card in the "dubbed version", at least in the American dubbed version.

For some reason a.a.p. hacked off the original card (hence explaining why early TV airings of the cartoon don't have the WB shield), and the Laserdisc release replaced the hacked a.a.p. opening with Gold Rush Daze's opening Color Rings.
