Description
In the Revolutionary War "Battle of Bagel Heights" of 1776, Patriot
Bugs and (Yosemite) Sam Von Schamm, the enemy, try to capture each
other's forts. "Who am I? I'm Sam Von Schamm the Hessian, that's who I
am!" Sam declares. "You ornery fur-bearin' rebel, you'll pay for this,"
he emotes, adding, "Ya better say yer prayers, ya flea-bitten varmint,
I'm a-gonna blow ya to smithereenies!" After being blown up himself at
least three times, Sam admits: "I'm a Hessian without no aggression. If
ya can't beat 'em, join 'em." Bunker Hill Bunny is a 1949
Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short, released in 1950
and starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite
Sam as a Hessian Mercenary in the American Revolution. |
