In this 1942 cartoon, Mountie Elmer Fudd is on the trail of Bugs Bunny who's wanted dead or alive, "preferably dead". Bugs foils Elmer with tricks like the Elmer-shaped snowman. Finally Bugs lets himself be arrested. Elmer takes Bugs back to the log stockade and puts Bugs up before a Mountie firing squad. But Bugs starts singing "Dixie". The stockade becomes a field of cotton, and all the Mounties, including Elmer, turn into singing Negro minstrels!
This is the complete uncensored version.This has the full blackface minstrel-show finale, censored from TV for almost thirty years.

The final scene is a spoof of the movie Dixie which is about a Blackfaced preformer.
Below is the trailer for Dixie. Watch for Bing Crosby in blackface!
