Notes in brief
Happy Birthday, Bugs Bunny! On this date 70 years ago, Bugs Bunny made his screen debut. Though Bugs is not named in the cartoon short—he’s simply “the rabbit”—he does introduce his signature line, “What’s up, Doc?” The look and sound of Bugs went through a number of changes before he settled into the “wascally wabbit” character most of us remember. But this is how he first appeared.
“A Wild Hare” (1940)
Tex Avery, director
Virgil Ross, animator
Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny), Arthur Q. Bryan (Elmer Fudd), voices
Quote of note
“It’s like living in a Tex Avery cartoon.”
