Bugs Bunny is an blithe cartoon character created in the belatedly 1930s by Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros. Cartoons) and voiced originally by Mel Blanc.^[iv] Bugs is best known for his starring roles in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated short films, produced past Warner Bros. Though a similar grapheme first appeared in the WB cartoon Porky's Hare Chase (1938) and a few subsequent shorts, the definitive characterization of Bugs Bunny is widely credited to take debuted in director Tex Avery'due south Oscar-nominated picture show A Wild Hare (1940).^[1]

Bugs is an anthropomorphic gray and white rabbit or hare who is famous for his flippant, insouciant personality. He is also characterized by a Brooklyn accent, his portrayal every bit a trickster, and his take hold of phrase "Eh...What's up, doc?". Due to Bugs' popularity during the golden historic period of American animation, he became not only an American cultural icon and the official mascot of Warner Bros. Amusement, but also i of the nearly recognizable characters in the world. He can thus be seen in the older Warner Bros. company logos.^[5]

Bugs starred in more than than 160 cartoon shorts produced betwixt 1940 and 1964.^[6] He has since appeared in feature films, compilation films, Idiot box series, music records, comics, video games, award shows, entertainment park rides, and commercials. He has also appeared in more films than whatsoever other cartoon character,^[vii] is the 9th most-portrayed moving-picture show personality in the world,^[seven] and has his ain star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.^[8]

Development

According to Chase Craig, who wrote and drew the commencement Bugs Bunny comic Sunday pages and the offset Bugs comic book, "Bugs was not the creation of any one man; however, he rather represented the creative talents of perhaps v or half dozen directors and many cartoon writers. In those days, the stories were oftentimes the work of a group who suggested various gags, bounced them around and finalized them in a joint story conference."^[9] A rabbit with some of the personality of Bugs, though looking very different, was originally featured in the moving picture Porky'southward Hare Hunt, released on April thirty, 1938. It was co-directed by Ben "Bugs" Hardaway and an uncredited Cal Dalton (who was responsible for the initial blueprint of the rabbit). This cartoon has an well-nigh identical plot to Avery'south Porky'south Duck Hunt (1937), which had introduced Daffy Duck. Porky Squealer is once again cast every bit a hunter tracking a silly casualty who is more interested in driving his pursuer insane and less interested in escaping. Hare Hunt replaces the niggling blackness duck with a modest white rabbit. According to Friz Freleng, Hardaway and Dalton had decided to "dress the duck in a rabbit suit".^[10] The white rabbit had an oval head and a shapeless trunk. In characterization, he was "a rural buffoon". Mel Blanc gave the grapheme a voice and express mirth much similar those he subsequently used for Woody Woodpecker. He was loud, zany with a goofy, guttural express mirth.^[eleven] The rabbit character was popular enough with audiences that the Termite Terrace staff decided to utilize it again.^[12]

The rabbit comes dorsum in Prest-O Change-O (1939), directed by Chuck Jones, where he is the pet rabbit of unseen character Sham-Fu the Sorcerer. Two dogs, fleeing the local dogcatcher, enter his^{[ whose? ]} absent main's business firm. The rabbit harasses them but is ultimately bested past the bigger of the 2 dogs. This version of the rabbit was cool, graceful, and controlled. He retained the guttural laugh merely was otherwise silent.^[xi]

The rabbit'southward third appearance comes in Hare-um Scare-um (1939), directed once more past Dalton and Hardaway. This cartoon—the first in which he is depicted as a greyness bunny instead of a white one—is also notable every bit the rabbit's first singing function. Charlie Thorson, lead animator on the film, gave the character a name. He had written "Bugs' Bunny" on the model canvas that he drew for Hardaway.^{[12] [13]} In promotional material for the cartoon, including a surviving 1939 presskit, the name on the model sheet was altered to get the rabbit's own proper name: "Bugs" Bunny (quotation marks only used, on and off, until 1944).^[14]

In his autobiography, Blanc claimed that another proposed proper noun for the graphic symbol was "Happy Rabbit."^[15] In the actual cartoons and publicity, even so, the name "Happy" but seems to take been used in reference to Bugs Hardaway. In Hare-um Scare-um, a newspaper headline reads, "Happy Hardaway."^[16] Animation historian David Gerstein disputes that "Happy Rabbit" was e'er used as an official name, arguing that the simply usage of the term came from Mel Blanc himself in humorous and fanciful tales he told about the character'south development in the 1970s and 1980s; the proper name "Bugs Bunny" was used every bit early as Baronial 1939, in the Move Picture Herald, in a review for the brusque Hare-um Scare-um.^[17]

Thorson had been approached by Tedd Pierce, head of the story department, and asked to design a better rabbit. The decision was influenced by Thorson's feel in designing hares. He had designed Max Hare in Toby Tortoise Returns (Disney, 1936). For Hardaway, Thorson created the model canvass previously mentioned, with half dozen different rabbit poses. Thorson's model sheet is "a comic rendition of the stereotypical fuzzy bunny". He had a pear-shaped trunk with a protruding rear stop. His face up was flat and had big expressive optics. He had an exaggerated long neck, gloved hands with three fingers, oversized anxiety, and a "smart aleck" grin. The stop result was influenced by Walt Disney Blitheness Studios' tendency to draw animals in the style of cute infants.^[10] He had an obvious Disney influence, just looked like an awkward merger of the lean and streamlined Max Hare from The Tortoise and the Hare (1935) and the circular, soft bunnies from Footling Hiawatha (1937).^[11]

In Jones' Elmer's Aboveboard Camera (1940), the rabbit showtime meets Elmer Fudd. This fourth dimension the rabbit looks more than similar the present-day Bugs, taller and with a similar confront—but retaining the more primitive phonation. Candid Photographic camera's Elmer character design is besides different: taller and chubbier in the face up than the modern model, though Arthur Q. Bryan's grapheme vocalization is already established.

Official debut

While Porky's Hare Chase was the first Warner Bros. drawing to feature a Bugs Bunny-like rabbit, A Wild Hare, directed past Tex Avery and released on July 27, 1940, is widely considered to be the first official Bugs Bunny cartoon.^{[i] [18]} It is the first film where both Elmer Fudd and Bugs, both redesigned by Bob Givens, are shown in their fully developed forms as hunter and tormentor, respectively; the outset in which Mel Blanc uses what became Bugs' standard vocalization; and the offset in which Bugs uses his catchphrase, "What'southward upwards, Doc?"^[xix] A Wild Hare was a huge success in theaters and received an University Award nomination for Best Cartoon Brusk Field of study.^[20]

For the flick, Avery asked Givens to remodel the rabbit. The event had a closer resemblance to Max Hare. He had a more elongated body, stood more than erect, and looked more poised. If Thorson's rabbit looked like an infant, Givens' version looked like an adolescent.^[10] Blanc gave Bugs the voice of a city slicker. The rabbit was equally adventurous as he had been in Hare-um Scare-um and as cool and collected as in Prest-O Alter-O.^[xi]

Immediately following on A Wild Hare, Bob Clampett'south Patient Porky (1940) features a cameo advent by Bugs, announcing to the audience that 750 rabbits have been born. The gag uses Bugs' Wild Hare visual design, but his goofier pre-Wild Hare voice label.

The second full-fledged role for the mature Bugs, Chuck Jones' Elmer'southward Pet Rabbit (1941), is the showtime to apply Bugs' name on-screen: it appears in a title card, "featuring Bugs Bunny," at the start of the film (which was edited in following the success of A Wild Hare). However, Bugs' voice and personality in this drawing is noticeably unlike, and his design was slightly altered besides; Bugs' visual design is based on the prototype rabbit in Aboveboard Camera, but with yellow gloves and no buck teeth, has a lower-pitched vocalization and a more than aggressive, arrogant and thuggish personality instead of a fun-loving personality. After Pet Rabbit, still, subsequent Bugs appearances returned to normal: the Wild Hare visual pattern and personality returned, and Blanc re-used the Wild Hare voice label.

Hiawatha's Rabbit Chase (1941), directed by Friz Freleng, became the second Bugs Bunny cartoon to receive an University Award nomination.^[21] The fact that it didn't win the award was after spoofed somewhat in What's Cookin' Doc? (1944), in which Bugs demands a recount (claiming to exist a victim of "sa-bo-TAH-gee") after losing the Oscar to James Cagney and presents a clip from Hiawatha'south Rabbit Chase to prove his indicate.^[22]

World War Two

Evolution of Bugs' blueprint over the years.

By 1942, Bugs had get the number one star of Merrie Melodies. The serial was originally intended only for one-shot characters in films after several early attempts to introduce characters (Foxy, Goopy Geer, and Piggy) failed under Harman–Ising. By the mid-1930s, under Leon Schlesinger, Merrie Melodies started introducing newer characters. Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid (1942) shows a slight redesign of Bugs, with less-prominent forepart teeth and a rounder head. The character was reworked by Robert McKimson, and then an animator in Clampett'south unit. The redesign at first was only used in the films created by Clampett's unit, simply in fourth dimension it was taken up by the other directors, with Freleng and Frank Tashlin the offset. For Tortoise Wins by a Hare (1943), he created yet some other version, with more than slanted eyes, longer teeth and a much larger oral fissure. He used this version until 1949 (as did Art Davis for the one Bugs Bunny movie he directed, Bowery Bugs) when he started using the version he had designed for Clampett. Jones came up with his own slight modification, and the vocalism had slight variations between the units.^[13] Bugs also made cameos in Avery's terminal Warner Bros. drawing, Crazy Prowl.^[23]

Since Bugs' debut in A Wild Hare, he appeared only in color Merrie Melodies films (making him i of the few recurring characters created for that series in the Schlesinger era prior to the full conversion to color), aslope Elmer predecessor Egghead, Inki, Sniffles, and Elmer himself. While Bugs made a cameo in Porky Pig's Feat (1943), this was his just advent in a blackness-and-white Looney Tunes flick. He did not star in a Looney Tunes film until that series made its complete conversion to only color cartoons beginning in 1944. Buckaroo Bugs was Bugs' first picture in the Looney Tunes serial and was likewise the last Warner Bros. drawing to credit Schlesinger (as he had retired and sold his studio to Warner Bros. that year).^[22]

Bugs' popularity soared during World War II because of his free and easy attitude, and he began receiving special star billing in his cartoons by 1943. By that fourth dimension, Warner Bros. had become the most profitable drawing studio in the Us.^[24] In visitor with cartoon studios such as Disney and Famous Studios, Warners pitted its characters confronting Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, and the Japanese. Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips (1944) features Bugs at odds with a group of Japanese soldiers. This cartoon has since been pulled from distribution due to its depiction of Japanese people.^[25] One US Navy propaganda film saved from destruction features the voice of Mel Blanc in "Tokyo Woes"^[26] (1945) about the propaganda radio host Tokyo Rose. He likewise faces off against Hermann Göring and Hitler in Herr Meets Hare (1945), which introduced his well-known reference to Albuquerque as he mistakenly winds upward in the Blackness Forest of 'Joimany' instead of Las Vegas, Nevada.^[27] Bugs also appeared in the 1942 two-infinitesimal U.S. war bonds commercial film Whatever Bonds Today?, forth with Porky and Elmer.

At the stop of Super-Rabbit (1943), Bugs appears wearing a United States Marine Corps dress bluish uniform. As a issue, the Marine Corps made Bugs an honorary Marine master sergeant.^[28] From 1943 to 1946, Bugs was the official mascot of Kingman Ground forces Airfield, Kingman, Arizona, where thousands of aerial gunners were trained during World State of war II. Some notable trainees included Clark Gable and Charles Bronson. Bugs also served as the mascot for 530 Squadron of the 380th Bombardment Group, 5th Air Force, U.S. Air Force, which was fastened to the Purple Australian Air Force and operated out of Australia's Northern Territory from 1943 to 1945, flying B-24 Liberator bombers.^[29] Bugs riding an air delivered torpedo served as the squadron logo for Marine Torpedo/Bomber Squadron 242 in the 2d World War. Additionally, Bugs appeared on the nose of B-24J #42-110157, in both the 855th Bomb Squadron of the 491st Bombardment Group (Heavy) and later in the 786th BS of the 466th BG(H), both being function of the 8th Air Forcefulness operating out of England.

In 1944, Bugs Bunny made a cameo appearance in Jasper Goes Hunting, a Puppetoons movie produced past rival studio Paramount Pictures. In this cameo (animated by McKimson, with Blanc providing the usual voice), Bugs (later beingness threatened at gunpoint) pops out of a rabbit hole, saying his usual catchphrase; subsequently hearing the orchestra play the wrong theme song, he realizes "Hey, I'm in the incorrect picture!" and then goes back in the hole.^[xxx] Bugs besides made a cameo in the Individual Snafu short Gas, in which he is found stowed abroad in the titular private'due south belongings; his but spoken line is his usual catchphrase.

Although it was usually Porky Pig who brought the Looney Tunes films to a close with his stuttering, "That's all, folks!", Bugs replaced him at the cease of Hare Tonic and Baseball Bugs, bursting through a drum just every bit Porky did, but munching on a carrot and proverb, in his Bronx/Brooklyn accent, "And that's the stop!"

Post-Earth War Two era

After Earth State of war II, Bugs continued to announced in numerous Warner Bros. cartoons, making his last "Golden Age" advent in False Hare (1964). He starred in over 167 theatrical curt films, nigh of which were directed by Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, and Chuck Jones. Freleng's Knighty Knight Bugs (1958), in which a medieval Bugs trades blows with Yosemite Sam and his fire-breathing dragon (which has a cold), won an Academy Award for All-time Drawing Brusque Field of study (becoming the first and just Bugs Bunny cartoon to win said award).^[31] Three of Jones' films—Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck!—compose what is often referred to as the "Rabbit Flavor/Duck Season" trilogy and were the origins of the rivalry betwixt Bugs and Daffy Duck.^[32] Jones' classic What's Opera, Doc? (1957), casts Bugs and Elmer Fudd in a parody of Richard Wagner'south Der Band des Nibelungen. It was accounted "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1992, becoming the kickoff drawing curt to receive this honor.^[33]

In the fall of 1960, ABC debuted the prime-time goggle box plan The Bugs Bunny Show. This testify packaged many of the mail-1948 Warners cartoons with newly blithe wraparounds. Throughout its run, the series was highly successful, and helped cement Warner Bros. Blitheness as a mainstay of Saturday-morning cartoons. Later 2 seasons, it was moved from its evening slot to reruns on Sabbatum mornings. The Bugs Bunny Show inverse format and exact title often just remained on network television receiver for 40 years. The packaging was later completely different, with each cartoon simply presented on its own, title and all, though some clips from the new bridging material were sometimes used as filler.^[34]

Later years

Bugs did not appear in whatsoever of the post-1964 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies films produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises or Seven Arts Productions, nor did he appear in Filmation's Daffy Duck and Porky Grunter Meet the Groovie Goolies. He did, however, have ii cameo appearances in the 1974 Joe Adamson short A Political Cartoon; one at the showtime of the short, and some other in which he is interviewed at a pet store. Bugs was blithe in this short by Marker Kausler.^[35] He did non announced in new material on-screen again until Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals aired in 1976.

From the late 1970s through the early 1990s, Bugs was featured in various animated specials for network boob tube, such equally Bugs Bunny'south Thanksgiving Diet, Bugs Bunny'southward Easter Special, Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales, and Bugs Bunny'due south Bustin' Out All Over. Bugs also starred in several theatrical compilation features during this time, including the United Artists distributed documentary Bugs Bunny: Superstar (1975)^{[36] [37]} and Warner Bros.' own releases: The Bugs Bunny/Route Runner Moving-picture show (1979), The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Film (1981), Bugs Bunny'south tertiary Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982), and Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988).

In the 1988 live-action/animated comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Bugs appeared as ane of the inhabitants of Toontown. However, since the flick was beingness produced by Disney, Warner Bros. would only permit the use of their biggest star if he got an equal amount of screen fourth dimension as Disney'southward biggest star, Mickey Mouse. Because of this, both characters are e'er together in frame when onscreen. Roger Rabbit was also one of the final productions in which Mel Blanc voiced Bugs (as well every bit the other Looney Tunes characters) before his death in 1989.

Bugs afterwards appeared in another animated production featuring numerous characters from rival studios: the 1990 drug prevention TV special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.^{[38] [39] [40]} This special is notable for existence the offset time that someone other than Blanc voiced Bugs and Daffy (both characters were voiced by Jeff Bergman for this). Bugs also fabricated guest appearances in the early 1990s television serial Tiny Toon Adventures, as the principal of Pinnacle Looniversity and the mentor of Babs and Buster Bunny. He fabricated further cameos in Warner Bros.' subsequent animated Telly shows Taz-Mania, Animaniacs, and Histeria!

Bugs returned to the silver screen in Box-Office Bunny (1991). This was the start Bugs Bunny cartoon since 1964 to be released in theaters and it was created for Bugs' 50th anniversary celebration. Information technology was followed by (Boner) Bunny, a cartoon that was shelved from theaters,^[41] but after premiered on Cartoon Network in 1997 and has since gained a cult post-obit among animation fans for its edgy sense of humour.^{[42] [43] [44]}

In 1996, Bugs and the other Looney Tunes characters appeared in the alive-action/animated film, Space Jam, directed by Joe Pytka and starring NBA superstar Michael Jordan. The flick besides introduced the graphic symbol Lola Bunny, who becomes Bugs' new love involvement. Space Jam received mixed reviews from critics,^{[45] [46]} but was a box office success (grossing over $230 million worldwide).^[47] The success of Infinite Jam led to the evolution of another live-action/animated film, Looney Tunes: Back in Activeness, released in 2003 and directed past Joe Dante. Unlike Space Jam, Back in Action was a box-office bomb,^[48] though information technology did receive more positive reviews from critics.^{[49] [50] [51]}

In 1997, Bugs appeared on a U.S. postage stamp, the showtime cartoon to be and then honored, beating the iconic Mickey Mouse. The stamp is number seven on the list of the ten well-nigh popular U.S. stamps, as calculated past the number of stamps purchased only non used. The introduction of Bugs onto a stamp was controversial at the time, every bit it was seen equally a step toward the 'commercialization' of postage stamp art. The postal service rejected many designs and went with a postal-themed drawing. Avery Dennison printed the Bugs Bunny stamp canvass, which featured "a special ten-stamp design and was the get-go self-agglutinative souvenir sail issued by the U.Southward. Postal Service."^[52]

More contempo years

A younger version of Bugs is the main character of Baby Looney Tunes, which debuted on Kids' WB in 2001. In the activeness-comedy Loonatics Unleashed, his definite descendant Ace Bunny is the leader of the Loonatics team and seems to take inherited his ancestor's Brooklyn emphasis and rapier wit.^[53]

In 2011, Bugs Bunny and the residuum of the Looney Tunes gang returned to television in the Cartoon Network sitcom, The Looney Tunes Testify. The characters characteristic new designs by artist Jessica Borutski. Among the changes to Bugs' appearance were the simplification and enlargement of his feet, too as a modify to his fur from grayness to a shade of mauve (though in the second season, his fur was changed back to grey).^[54] In the series, Bugs and Daffy Duck are portrayed every bit all-time friends equally opposed to their usual pairing as friendly rivals. At the same time, Bugs is more than vocally exasperated by Daffy'southward antics in the serial (sometimes to the point of anger), compared to his usual level-headed personality from the original cartoons. Bugs and Daffy are friends with Porky Sus scrofa in the series, although Bugs tends to be a better friend to Porky than Daffy is. Bugs as well dates Lola Bunny in the bear witness despite the fact that he finds her to exist "crazy" and a bit besides talkative at first (he later learns to accept her personality quirks, similar to his tolerance for Daffy). Dissimilar the original cartoons, Bugs lives in a regular home which he shares with Daffy, Taz (whom he treats as a pet dog) and Speedy Gonzales, in the middle of a cul-de-sac with their neighbors Yosemite Sam, Granny, and Witch Hazel.

In 2015, Bugs starred in the direct-to-video film Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run,^[55] and afterward returned to television yet over again as the star of Cartoon Network and Boomerang'due south comedy series New Looney Tunes (formerly Wabbit).^{[56] [57]}

In 2020, Bugs began appearing on the HBO Max streaming serial Looney Tunes Cartoons. His design now primarily resembles his Bob Clampett days, consummate with yellow gloves and his signature carrot and his personality is a combination of Freleng's trickery, Clampett's defiance, and Jones' resilience while as well maintaining his confident, insolent, smooth-talking demeanour. As for the voice, Bugs is now played by Eric Bauza who is also the current vocalism of Daffy Duck and Tweety, among others.^[58] Bugs as well made his return to film theaters in the 2021 Space Jam sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy, this time starring NBA superstar LeBron James.^[59]

Bugs has also appeared in numerous video games, including the Bugs Bunny'southward Crazy Castle series, Bugs Bunny Altogether Blowout, Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Rampage, Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble, Looney Tunes B-Ball, Looney Tunes Racing, Looney Tunes: Space Race, Bugs Bunny Lost in Fourth dimension, Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters, Loons: The Fight for Fame, Looney Tunes: Meridian Arsenal, Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes: Cartoon Universe, Looney Tunes Nuance, Looney Tunes Globe of Commotion and MultiVersus.

Personality and catchphrases

"Some people phone call me cocky and brash, only actually I am simply self-assured. I'm nonchalant, im­perturbable, wistful. I play information technology cool, but I can go hot under the collar. And above all I'grand a very 'enlightened' graphic symbol. I'thousand well enlightened that I am actualization in an animated car­toon....And sometimes I chomp on my carrot for the same reason that a stand up-upwardly comic chomps on his cigar. It saves me from rushing from the last joke to the side by side i too fast. And I sometimes don't deed, I react. And I ever treat the competition with my pursuers as 'fun and games.' When momentarily I appear to be cornered or in dire danger and I scream, don't exist consoined – it's actually a big put-on. Let'south face it, Doc. I've read the script and I al­ready know how information technology turns out."

—Bob Clampett on Bugs Bunny, written in kickoff person.^[60]

Bugs Bunny is characterized as beingness clever and capable of outsmarting virtually anyone who antagonizes him, including Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Wile Due east. Coyote, Gossamer, Witch Hazel, Rocky and Mugsy, The Crusher, Beaky Buzzard, Willoughby, Count Bloodcount, Daffy Duck and a host of others. The just i to consistently beat Bugs is Cecil Turtle, who defeats Bugs in three sequent shorts based on the premise of the Aesop fable The Tortoise and the Hare. In a rare villain turn, Bugs turns to a life of offense in 1949'south Rebel Rabbit, taking on the entire United States government past vandalizing monuments in an effort to prove he is worth more the two-cent compensation on his caput; while he succeeds in raising the compensation to $1,000,000, the full force of the military ends up capturing Bugs and sending him to Alcatraz.

Bugs virtually always wins these conflicts, a plot pattern which recurs in Looney Tunes films directed by Chuck Jones. Concerned that viewers would lose sympathy for an aggressive protagonist who always won, Jones arranged for Bugs to be bullied, cheated, or threatened past the antagonists while minding his own concern, justifying his subsequent antics every bit retaliation or cocky-defense. He's also been known to break the fourth wall by "communicating" with the audition, either by explaining the situation (east.chiliad. "Be with y'all in a minute, folks!"), describing someone to the audition (due east.thousand. "Feisty, ain't they?"), clueing in on the story (e.g. "That happens to him all during the flick, folks."), explaining that ane of his antagonists' deportment take pushed him to the breaking point ("Of class yous realize, this ways war." - a line borrowed from Groucho Marx in Duck Soup and used over again in the next Marx Brothers movie A Nighttime at the Opera (1935)^[61] ), albeit his own deviousness toward his antagonists ("Ain't I a stinker?" - a line borrowed from Lou Costello^{[62] [63] [61]}), etc. This style was used and established by Tex Avery.

Bugs usually tries to placate his antagonist and avoid conflict simply, when an adversary pushes him too far, Bugs may address the audience and invoke his catchphrase "Of grade you realize this means war!" before he retaliates in a devastating manner. As mentioned before, this line was taken from Groucho Marx. Bugs paid homage to Groucho in other ways, such every bit occasionally adopting his stooped walk or leering countenance-raising (in Pilus-Raising Hare, for case) or sometimes with a direct impersonation (as in Slick Hare). Other directors, such as Friz Freleng, characterized Bugs as altruistic. When Bugs meets other successful characters (such as Cecil Turtle in Tortoise Beats Hare, the Gremlin in Falling Hare, and the unnamed mouse in Rhapsody Rabbit), his overconfidence becomes a disadvantage and sometimes even leads to his undoing.

Bugs' nonchalant carrot-chewing standing position, as explained by Freleng, Jones and Bob Clampett, originated in a scene from the film Information technology Happened Ane Night (1934), in which Clark Gable's character Peter Warne leans against a fence, eating carrots rapidly and talking with his mouth full to Claudette Colbert'southward grapheme. This scene was well known while the film was popular, and viewers at the time likely recognized Bugs Bunny's behavior as satire. Coincidentally, the flick as well features a minor character, Oscar Shapely, who addresses Peter Warne as "Physician", and Warne mentions an imaginary person named "Bugs Dooley" to frighten Shapely.^[64]

"'What'due south up Doctor?' is a very simple thing. It'due south just funny because it'southward in a state of affairs. It was an all Bugs Bunny line. It wasn't funny. If you put it in homo terms; you come home late one night from work, you walk up to the gate in the one thousand, you walk through the gate and up into the front room, the door is partly open and at that place'due south some guy shooting nether your living room. So what do y'all practise? You run if you have whatsoever sense, the to the lowest degree you can do is call the cops. Just what if y'all come up and tap him on the shoulder and wait over and say 'What's up Doc?' You're interested in what he's doing. That's ridiculous. That'due south non what you say at a fourth dimension like that. So that'south why it'due south funny, I recollect. In other words information technology's asking a perfectly legitimate question in a perfectly illogical situation."

—Chuck Jones on Bugs Bunny'south catchphrase "What's up Doc?"^[65]

The carrot-chewing scenes are generally followed by Bugs' near well-known catchphrase, "What's up, Dr.?", which was written by director Tex Avery for his first Bugs Bunny film, A Wild Hare (1940). Avery explained later that it was a mutual expression in his native Texas and that he did not call back much of the phrase. Back then "doc" meant the aforementioned as "dude" does today. When the cartoon was first screened in theaters, the "What'south upwards, Physician?" scene generated a tremendously positive audience reaction.^{[nineteen] [66]} As a event, the scene became a recurring element in subsequent cartoons. The phrase was sometimes modified for a situation. For case, Bugs says "What'southward up, dogs?" to the antagonists in A Hare Grows in Manhattan, "What's upwards, Knuckles?" to the knight in Knight-mare Hare, and "What'due south up, clip-face?" to the aged Elmer in The Old Grey Hare. He might also greet Daffy with "What's up, Duck?" He used one variation, "What's all the hub-bub, bub?" merely one time, in Falling Hare. Another variation is used in Looney Tunes: Dorsum in Action when he greets a blaster-wielding Marvin the Martian proverb "What's upwardly, Darth?"

Several Chuck Jones films in the late 1940s and 1950s depict Bugs travelling via cross-country (and, in some cases, intercontinental) tunnel-digging, ending up in places as varied as Barcelona, Spain (Bully for Bugs), the Himalayas (The Beastly Snow Rabbit), and Antarctica (Frigid Hare) all because he "knew (he) shoulda taken that left toin at Albukoikee." He outset utters that phrase in Herr Meets Hare (1945), when he emerges in the Black Woods, a cartoon seldom seen today due to its blatantly topical subject thing. When Hermann Göring says to Bugs, "There is no Las Vegas in 'Chermany'" and takes a potshot at Bugs, Bugs dives into his pigsty and says, "Joimany! Yipe!", as Bugs realizes he is behind enemy lines. The confused response to his "left toin" comment also followed a pattern. For example, when he tunnels into Scotland in My Bunny Lies over the Bounding main (1948), while thinking he is heading for the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, information technology provides some other chance for an ethnic joke: "Therrre arrre no La Brrrea Tarrr Pits in Scotland!" (to which Bugs responds, "Scotland!? Eh...what'due south up, Mac-doc?"). A couple of late-1950s/early on-1960s cartoons of this ilk also featured Daffy Duck travelling with Bugs ("Hey, expect a minute! Since when is Pismo Beach inside a cave?").

Phonation actors

The following are the diverse vocal artists who have voiced Bugs Bunny over the terminal 80-plus years for both Warner Bros. official productions and others:

Mel Blanc

Mel Blanc was the original vocalization of Bugs and voiced the character for nearly five decades.

Mel Blanc voiced the character for nearly 50 years, from Bugs' debut in the 1940 short A Wild Hare until Blanc's decease in 1989. Blanc described the voice as a combination of Bronx and Brooklyn accents; even so, Tex Avery claimed that he asked Blanc to give the character not a New York accent per se, just a voice like that of actor Frank McHugh, who frequently appeared in supporting roles in the 1930s and whose vocalism might be described as New York Irish.^[13] In Bugs' second cartoon Elmer's Pet Rabbit, Blanc created a completely new voice for Bugs, which sounded like a Jimmy Stewart impression, but the directors decided the previous voice was better. Though Blanc's best known graphic symbol was the carrot-chomping rabbit, munching on the carrots interrupted the dialogue. Various substitutes, such as celery, were tried, but none of them sounded like a carrot. So, for the sake of expedience, Blanc munched and then spit the carrot $.25 into a spittoon, rather than swallowing them, and continued with the dialogue. One oft-repeated story, which dates back to the 1940s,^[67] is that Blanc was allergic to carrots and had to spit them out to minimize any allergic reaction — but his autobiography makes no such claim.^[15] In fact, in a 1984 interview with Tim Lawson, co-author of The Magic Backside The Voices: A Who's Who of Vox Actors, Blanc emphatically denied being allergic to carrots.

Bugs was a recurring star in that book all through its 153-issue run, which lasted until July 1954.

The strip originated with Chase Craig, who did the first v weeks earlier leaving for military service in Earth State of war II.^[140] Roger Armstrong illustrated the strip from 1942 to 1944.^[141] The creators virtually associated with the strip are writers Albert Stoffel (1947–1979)^[142] & Carl Fallberg (1950–1969),^[143] and artist Ralph Heimdahl, who worked on it from 1947 to 1979.^[144] Other creators associated with the Bugs Bunny strip include Jack Hamm, Carl Buettner, Phil Evans, Carl Barks (1952), Tom McKimson, Arnold Drake, Frank Hill, Brett Koth, and Shawn Keller.^{[145] [146]}

Reception and legacy

Statue evoking Bugs Bunny at Butterfly Park Bangladesh.

Similar Mickey Mouse for Disney, Bugs Bunny has served every bit the mascot for Warner Bros. and its various divisions. According to Guinness Earth Records, Bugs has appeared in more films (both short and feature-length) than whatever other drawing character, and is the 9th most portrayed film personality in the earth.^[7] On Dec 10, 1985, Bugs became the second cartoon grapheme (after Mickey) to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.^[eight]

He also has been a pitchman for companies including Kool-Assist and Nike. His Nike commercials with Michael Jordan every bit "Hare Hashemite kingdom of jordan" for the Air Jordan Seven and Eight became precursors to Space Jam. As a result, he has spent time as an honorary member of Jordan Brand, including having Hashemite kingdom of jordan's Jumpman logo washed in his image. In 2015, as part of the 30th ceremony of Hashemite kingdom of jordan Brand, Nike released a mid-top Bugs Bunny version of the Air Jordan I, named the "Air Jordan Mid 1 Hare", along with a women'south equivalent inspired by Lola Bunny called the "Air Hashemite kingdom of jordan Mid one Lola", along with a commercial featuring Bugs and Ahmad Rashad.^[147]

In 2002, Tv set Guide compiled a list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all fourth dimension as part of the mag's 50th anniversary. Bugs Bunny was given the accolade of number 1.^{[148] [149]} In a CNN broadcast on July 31, 2002, a Idiot box Guide editor talked about the group that created the list. The editor also explained why Bugs pulled superlative billing: "His stock...has never gone down...Bugs is the best instance...of the smart-aleck American comic. He not only is a great cartoon character, he'southward a slap-up comedian. He was written well. He was drawn beautifully. He has thrilled and fabricated many generations laugh. He is tops."^[150] Some have noted that comedian Eric Andre is the nearest contemporary comedic equivalent to Bugs. They attribute this to, "their power to constantly flip the script on their unwitting counterparts."^[151]

Linguistic communication

The American apply of Nimrod to mean "idiot" is often said to have originated from Bugs's exclamation "What a Nimrod!" to draw the inept hunter Elmer Fudd.^[152] However, information technology is Daffy Duck who refers to Fudd as "my little Nimrod" in the 1948 curt "What Makes Daffy Duck",^[153] and the Oxford English Lexicon records earlier negative uses of the term "nimrod".^[154]
