Bugs Bunny

Cartoon character developed by Warner Brothers studio in the late 1930s. Early forms of the character appeared in shorts such as Porky's Hare Hunt (1938); the debut of the cynical, carrot-crunching rabbit with its goofy incisors was in A Wild Hare (1940).

Bugs Bunny was the product of a combined effort by the cartoonists such as Ben ‘Bugs’ Hardaway (1897–1957), Robert McKimson (1910–1977), Friz Freleng (1906–1995), Chuck Jones (1912–2002), and Bob Clampett (1913–1984). His irreverent delivery, marked by catchphrases such as ‘What's Up Doc?’, was propelled by voice actor Mel Blanc (1908–89). By 1962 Bugs Bunny had appeared in 159 films, and won an Academy Award for Knighty Knight Bugs (1958).
