Hop and Go is a 1943 Looney Tunes animated cartoon directed by Norman McCabe and animated by Cal Dalton. It stars the voices of Pinto Colvig (Claude Hopper) and Mel Blanc (Scottish Rabbits). It was released to theatres on March 27, 1943 by Warner Bros.

Censorship

When this cartoon aired on Nickelodeon, the ending where Claude's jump destroys Tokyo was edited to remove the reveal that the rubble Claude is resting on is, in fact, the remains of Tokyo. The rubble was replaced with a fake iris out.[1]

Availability

Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 presents this cartoon as a bonus cartoon on Disc 2, uncut but not digitally remastered. The cartoon uses an unreleased stereo mix of its soundtrack. Note that some of the character dialogue's volume has been decreased, making it hard for viewers to understand the lines the characters say.
