March 29, 1941 –
A very rarely seen Merrie Melodies cartoon (due it it’s racial stereotypes), Confederate Honey, directed by Friz Freleng, and starring Elmer Fudd, debuted on this date.
This cartoon was originally planned to be an Egghead cartoon directed by Ben Hardaway and Cal Dalton. However, when Friz Freleng returned after leaving from MGM, the cartoon was taken over by him, who decided to use the Elmer Fudd character instead.
