In the film, which won an Academy Award, Bugs Bunny is King Arthur’s hapless court * jester, who is challenged to recover the prized singing sword from its kidnapper, The Black Knight, played by Yosemite Sam. Sent out to retrieve it, Bugs sneaks into the villain’s castle, while Black Knight Sam and his treacherous fire-breathing, cold-ridden, * sneezing dragon are sleeping. After a series of animated exchanges, Sam finally finds himself holed up in the dungeon with his dragon in a room full of explosives and says- “don’t sneeze, ya stupid dragon, or you’ll blow us to the moon!”-- which he does!! * According to Director Friz Freleng, “Yosemite Sam was a perfect adversary for Bugs Bunny,” casting him as a pirate, cowboy, an Arab, a knight, a Roman Legionnaire, a confederate soldier, etc. “I put him in a different costume in almost every picture,” remarked * Freleng. And, one can just hear Sam proclaiming himself, “the roughest, toughest, rootin-tootin’est riffiest raff to ever riff a raff,” yelling at the top of his lungs. *
