Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaArthur Davis's final credit as an animator for Warner Bros. cartoons during the original theatrical era. He had left the studio by June 1960, demanding he be released from his contract because fellow animator Phil Monroe had been promoted as supervisor of the commercials unit instead of him. He freelance directed one more cartoon, Quackodile Tears (1962), as a favor to Friz Freleng while he was working at Hanna Barbera. When Freleng and David H. DePatie started DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, he took a job there, directing many Pink Panther shorts.
- GoofsWhen the villagers flee Sam, they cross a stone bridge to get into the castle. But halfway through the cartoon the bridge has become a wooden drawbridge, and the only part of the bridge that is made of stone is the end nearest the castle.
- Quotes
Sam the Terrible: You better open that gate, Prince Varmint, or I'll bust it down.
- Alternate versionsWhen this cartoon aired on ABC (still retitled as "Prince Varmint"), the aforementioned explosives gag was edited thus: after Sam lights the fuses of the explosives, he manages to cross the still-lowered drawbridge and escape the explosives just before they blow up. However, he still looks much the worse for wear when he enters the castle.

Featured review
A good cartoon, but not exactly great
This is still a pretty, entertaining cartoon, what was the usual antics between Bugs and Sam. However, you could see a decline in quality compared to the earlier Sam's shorts. During this time period, Warner Bros. Animation unit was going through some major changes, which included budget cuts, and thanks to that, this causes shorts like this to feature less detailed animation compared to earlier shorts. It could be seen in a few moments of the short here and there, but overall they're not too distracting. But the short is still pretty funny, and I recommend it. Overall, it doesn't feel too ambitious compared to the earlier shorts, let alone as good, but it's still a pretty good short in its own right.
