Bunker Hill Bunny is a 1950 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short directed by Friz Freleng and written by Tedd Pierce.
[2] The story opens with a title card indicating a time setting of 1776, before switching to footages of the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Yorktown.
The scene then transitions to the "Battle of Bagle Heights", where Bugs, dressed as an American Minuteman, is defending a wooden fort against the red-coated Sam von Schamm (or Schmamm), the Hessian, attacking from a large stone fortress.
Sam attempts to continue his bombardment, but Bugs is able to put up a defense by simply catching his opponent's cannonballs with his own cannon and firing them back.
[citation needed] Bugs Bunny's quote "What do you know, no more buwwets" were the last words Patrick Duffley said before being accidentally shot to death by his wife inside her Whittier, California home on April 26, 2007.
