Apes of Wrath premiered

April 18, 1959

The Merrie Melodies short, Apes of Wrath, directed by Friz Freleng and starring Bugs Bunny, debuted on this date.

When the stork hiccups from his drunken speech when taking a break on his delivery trip at the beginning, if one looks closely, the stork is seen having two visible eyeballs in each of his eyes in a number of quick blink-and-miss frames. Whether this is an animation mistake or completely intentional on the animators’ part is unknown.
