Production notes
The last Tweety and Sylvester cartoon animated by Art Davis.
Features the controversial line, "Damn Yankees!"
Tweety originally said, "I tawt I taw a damn Yankee tat!" This line was deleted by Warner Brothers; Cartoon Network just cuts the word "damn."
Similar treatment was accorded to the line "Damn Yankees," uttered by the Confederate officer.
In the Merrie Melodies version, shipboard scenes which included cannon blasts to Sylvester's face were deleted.
Cannon gags from "Buccaneer Bunny" are reused.
Final line (by Sylvester, after being shot accidentally by fellow Yankees): "It's a good thing I have nine lives. With this kind of army, I'll need all of 'em!"
