Sam-merica

Sam-merica is a 2021 Looney Tunes Cartoons short directed by Ryan Kramer.
==Plot==
Yosemite Sam discovers an island and plants his flag on it to claim it as Sam-merica. He begins to plan the island's infrastructure while Bugs Bunny step out of his burrow. He states that while Sam has interesting plans for his island, he prefers it to be how it has always been. Sam becomes enraged as he believes that he was the first to discover the island and swats Bugs in the head with his flag, despite Bugs saying that he lived on the island for 20 years, Sam exclaims that he is trespassing on Sam-merica. Sam declares that his flag means he owns the entire island, but Bugs Bunny asks if he also own if he owns a piece of driftwood on the ground, which encourages Sam to strike his flag into it. He starts to lure Sam into placing his flag into random objects across the island and soon reaches a swamp. Bugs suggest Sam to claim the swamp rocks, but suddenly, one of the rocks emerges from the pond and turns out to be the head of a growling alligator, which tries to attack and bite Sam.
Bugs is relaxing in his hammock as an angry Sam rushes next to him. "Beautiful view, ain't it?" Bugs remarks. Sam stretches his hammock back and launches him into the sea and then lies on his hammock. However, he then notices that Bugs on his galleon, now occupying the ship ask him what he thinks about his new ship. Sam yells what at Bugs about what is doing on his ship, but Bugs declares that it is now his ship now according to his new flag waving in the air. 
Sam swims across the sea with his flag and climbs aboard the galleon, replacing Bugs' flag with his own, and blasts Bugs back onto the island along with his flag using a cannon, which strucks in the soil. Bugs becomes pleased that he now claims the island, further infuriating Sam. Sam begins attacking Bugs by firing cannonballs at him, but then appears on the crow's nest of his ship and luring Sam to fire at him. Sam rushes across the deck and fires a cannonball at the crow's nest, expecting it to fire at Bugs, but instead crashes through the deck and suddenly sinking the entire galleon into the sea.
Sam emerges from the ocean.
Yosemite Sam attempts to exile Bugs Bunny from the island but is thwarted by Bugs' trickery.

* This is the first short of the show to feature the Bugs Bunny riding the WB shield intro.
