ToonHeads - The Twelve Missing Hares (Unaired June Bugs 2001 Special)

Warning this video is not recommended for kids due to racial stereotypes portrayed in this episode.

ToonHeads - The Twelve Missing Hares.

A June Bugs 2001 special focused around Bugs Bunny shorts deemed unsuitable for broadcasting on Cartoon Network. The special features many clips showing racial character stereotypes from various Bugs Bunny shorts and how they are incorrectly portraying different cultures and also how it is inappropriate to show them on TV to young audiences. It features 12 Bugs Bunny shorts banned from broadcast called the twelve missing hares hence the title.

It was supposed to air in June 2001 but got cancelled last minute due to the Cartoon Network Executives getting cold feet.

Note this is a post production version of the episode "The Twelve Missing Hares" before it was cancelled and never aired on Cartoon Network
