Synopsis
Grover Groundhog sings a song about his shadow. It's Groundhog Day, which turns into open hunting on groundhogs, and Porky is out hunting. Grover plays mind games with Porky and his dog.

Production notes
The only appearance of Grover Groundhog.
While Stan Freberg (sped up) supplies some of Grover's speaking lines, Mel Blanc provides his singing voice. Freberg also voices an impersonation of Walter Winchell.
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their Blue Ribbon program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
Songs include: "Ground Hog Song" [also known as "A Groundhog and His Shadow"] (Carl Stalling-Warren Foster), Performed by Grover Groundhog.
