What happens

Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips is a 1944 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. The cartoon, released on April 22, 1944, stars Bugs Bunny. A propaganda film that depicts Bugs fighting against the Imperial Japanese Army in the Pacific War, it is now considered controversial for caricaturing the Japanese enemy and expressing anti-Japanese sentiment, and while not one of the Censored Eleven cartoons it has been removed from circulation by Warner Bros. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
