Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel is an animated cartoon character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. She is a pun on the name of a North American shrub and the herbal medicine derived from it. Animator Chuck Jones, of his own admission, got the idea of Witch Hazel from the Disney cartoon "Trick or Treat" (1952), which featured a good-natured witch squaring off with Donald Duck. She appears in her rotund, green-skinned body is wrapped in plain, blue dress and supported by twig-like legs.

Enamored of the character's voice characterization, provided by June Foray, Jones developed his own Witch Hazel character for Bugs Bunny short, "Bewitched Bunny" in 1954.
