A Wild Hare is a 1940 American animated comedy short film directed by Fred Avery. It was released on July 27, 1940. It is part of the Merrie Melodies series, the twelfth cartoon to feature Elmer Fudd and the fifth cartoon to feature a character later to be named Bugs Bunny. The film defined Bugs' personality and Brooklyn-Bronx voice, previously used as a generic humorous voice in Avery's cartoons. It was re-released as a "Blue Ribbon" reissue in 1944 as The Wild Hare. Warner Bros. considers it to be Bugs' debut, despite numerous established appearances in the series.

Production

Bob Clampett claimed in the interview with Michael Barrier and Bugs Bunny: Superstar that his depiction of Bugs was inspired by the film It Happened One Night, with Clark Gable's character chewing a carrot in a non-chalant stance while talking to Claudette Colbert's character about hitchhiking, however Avery denied this in the Avery-Jones letter, outright questioning it.

The line "What's up, Doc?" was added by director Tex Avery for this film. Avery explained later that it was a common expression in Texas where he was from, and he did not think much of the phrase.
