Witch Hazel Looney Tunes' Sweetheart June Foray Voices Our Lovely Witch HazelBugs Bunny squared of against Witch Hazel for the first time in 1954 cartoon called "Bewitched Bunny" which was a retelling of the fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel and again in 1956 in "Broomstick Bunny". Her last outing with Bugs was in 1959, in "A Witches Tangled Hare" which was a parody of Shakespeare's MacBeth.
Animator Chuck Jones admits that he "borrowed" his idea of Witch Hazel from the 1952 Disney cartoon "Trick or Treat". Realizing that Disney could not claim ownership of the witch hazel name he had no qualms about creating his own version. June Foray is the voice for both versions.
