Jasper Goes Hunting is an animated short film in the Puppetoons series, directed and produced by George Pal and first released on July 29, 1944.
Convincing the boy to hand him the gun, the Scarecrow claims that the "mean-looking" weapon reminds him of his past as a big game hunter.
The titular character was a playful pickaninny, his mother a protective mammy, Professor Scarecrow being a black scam artist, and the Blackbird serving as his fast-talking partner-in-crime.
