"Which Is Witch" is a 1948 Looney Tunes cartoon released by Warner Bros. in 1949, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce.

Plot

The story's focus, Bugs Bunny on a trip in Dark Africa, has to deal with a vertically challenged witch doctor who is after Bugs to use as a key ingredient in a prescription. The title is an obvious play on the old expression, "Which is which?"

Censorship

* This cartoon is currently not in rotation in the United States due to the black stereotypes found throughout the film. It was also one of 12 Bugs Bunny cartoons that was scheduled to air on Cartoon Network's "June Bugs" marathon in 2001, but was cut due to ethnic stereotypes.
* When this cartoon was shown on Nickelodeon in the 1990s, the scene of Bugs posing as a Zulu native by using plates to stretch his lips and a spring as a necklace to escape the witch doctor was cut.
* The CBS version cut the entire sequence of the witch doctor locking Bugs in a pressure cooker and Bugs freaking out when he realizes he's being cooked.
