Apes of Wrath is a 1959 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The short was released on April 18, 1959, and stars Bugs Bunny.[2] This cartoon recycles the plot from the 1948 cartoon Gorilla My Dreams. The title is a parody of John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath.
This cartoon was featured in Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales, but with a few slight changes, since the plot features Bugs and Daffy trying to sell books.

Transcription
Plot
An inebriated stork loses a baby gorilla and kidnaps Bugs Bunny to leave on a gorilla couple's door step. Elvis, the gorilla father, tries to get rid of the hideous "baby" but his domineering wife prevents him. Bugs manipulates their conflict for his own amusement until the stork finds and delivers the real baby. Elvis then chases after Bugs and prepares to drop a boulder on him. Bugs runs away as the Mama gorilla approaches, and the boulder lands on her instead, leaving Elvis tongue-tied for an explanation. As Bugs watches them, the stork hands him a bundle and congratulates him. He opens the bundle to find Daffy Duck.
Home media
"Apes of Wrath" is available, uncensored and uncut, on the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire and Looney Tunes: Unleashed DVDs. However, in both cases it was cropped to widescreen. It was also included in the Stars of Space Jam: Bugs Bunny DVD, but this time in the ratio in which it was originally animated (fullscreen aspect ratio).
