"Mississippi Hare" was one of 11 cartoons pulled from rotation by the Cartoon Network for its 2001 "June Bugs" marathon (which was to show the complete chronology of Bugs Bunny cartoons) due to pressure from Warner Bros. This was in addition to the "Censored 11" that had been withheld from distribution since 1968. The reason given was related to the short's depiction of people with dark complexions and a certain idea about it being potentially offensive.
Includes a rare scene where Bugs has 5 fingers: When he is rolling the coin across his hand at the first meeting of Colonel Shuffle.
