I’ve been searching for this one for 25 years, I watched as a child, then found it on an obscure titled vcr tape that my children enjoyed! They’ll be happy I found it again!

[@gobigrey9352]

Me too! I had an old vhs tape when I was a little kid and it had this and the one with the potato police and all the talking vegetables.

[@linmiller8147]

The first time I saw this cartoon, I laughed to hard, I could't breathe. It still leaves me breathless. Tex Avery was out of his mind.

OMG! I remember this!! I used to watch this on VHS as a kid, growing up in the mid and late 00s! I haven't seen this in like forever! I still have it on VHS. Now I'm 20 wishing I was 5 again! Memories!

Me too, I remember getting this VHS from Albertson’s in Fort Worth, It also had the one with the two dogs that are in the Funhouse with the magician rabbit that kinda looks like bugs bunny, It also had a little lulu cartoon when she’s on the golf course

[@thececil021]

I have it on VHS, too, but mine is from the 80s. It’s cool that it was made for that many years.

[@brookel7303]

It's a shame Speedy The Dog wasn't a recurring character. His "speedy" (sorry for the bad pun) movements are so funny to watch.

Holy moley, I had this cartoon on VHS when I was little. I forgot it even existed 'til now. Looking at it again, it's full of amazing animation and sequences. The bit where Speedy examines the remains of his nose is especially funny!

[@gobigrey9352]

I had a vhs with this and the cartoon talking vegetables/ potato police. Hadn't seen them since I was probably 5!

Tex Avery does a lot of "And remember; you won't catch that rabbit unless you get lots of sleep" Make a noise, yell, anything, and I'll come out shootin'" IF I HEAR ONE MORE PEEP OUT OF YOU, OUT YOU GO!"
