Here we take a look at the history and evolution of Witch Hazel, Disney’s small and feisty trickster… or is that the Looney Tunes large and zany villain… or is that Little Lulu’s tall and slender sorceress…
However you see her, Witch Hazel – or the many variants of her – is a deep-cut curio from the annals of cartoons. A character who, by technicality, was allowed to drift through various studios in numerous iterations without legal dramas or canonical ramifications… while spawning several other knock-offs along the way.
Did Chuck Jones steal her from Disney? Did Disney steal her from Little Lulu? Did Little Lulu steal her from an obscure 1930s MGM cartoon?
HOW DID ANY OF THIS EVEN HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE? All will be revealed when we explore the wild and wacky 70 plus year history of one of the most bizarre characters in all of animation.
