Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character created in the late 1930s at Warner Bros. Cartoons (originally Leon Schlesinger Productions) and voiced originally by Mel Blanc.[4] Bugs is best known for his featured roles in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated short films, produced by Warner Bros. Earlier iterations of the character first appeared in Ben Hardaway’s Porky’s Hare Hunt (1938) and subsequent shorts before Bugs’s definitive characterization debuted in Tex Avery’s A Wild Hare (1940).[1] Bob Givens and Robert McKimson are credited for defining Bugs’s design.[1]

Bugs is an anthropomorphic gray and white rabbit or hare who is characterized by his flippant, insouciant personality. He is also characterized by a Brooklyn accent, his portrayal as a trickster, and his catch phrase «Eh…What’s up, doc?». Through his popularity during the golden age of American animation, Bugs became an American cultural icon and Warner Bros.’ official mascot.[5]

Bugs starred in more than 160 short films produced between 1940 and 1964.[6] He has since appeared in feature films, television shows, comics, and other media. He has appeared in more films than any other cartoon character, is the ninth most-portrayed film personality in the world[7] and has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[8]

Development

Bugs’ preliminary debut (as an unnamed little white rabbit) in Porky’s Hare Hunt (1938).

According to Chase Craig, who wrote and drew the first Bugs Bunny comic Sunday pages and the first Bugs comic book, «Bugs was not the creation of any one man; however, he rather represented the creative talents of perhaps five or six directors and many cartoon writers including Charlie Thorson.[9] In those days, the stories were often the work of a group who suggested various gags, bounced them around and finalized them in a joint story conference.»[10] A Bugs-like rabbit with some of the personality of a finalized Bugs, though looking very different, was originally featured in the film Porky’s Hare Hunt, released on April 30, 1938. It was co-directed by Ben «Bugs» Hardaway and an uncredited director Cal Dalton (who was responsible for the initial design of the rabbit). This cartoon has an almost identical plot to Avery’s Porky’s Duck Hunt (1937), which had introduced Daffy Duck. Porky Pig is again cast as a hunter tracking a silly prey who is more interested in driving his pursuer insane and less interested in escaping. Hare Hunt replaces the little black duck with a small white rabbit. According to Friz Freleng, Hardaway and Dalton had decided to «dress the duck in a rabbit suit».[11] The white rabbit had an oval head and a shapeless body. In characterization, he was «a rural buffoon». Mel Blanc gave the character a voice and laugh much like those he later used for Woody Woodpecker. He was loud, zany with a goofy, guttural laugh.[12] The rabbit character was popular enough with audiences that the Termite Terrace staff decided to use it again.[13]

The rabbit comes back in Prest-O Change-O (1939), directed by Chuck Jones, where he is the pet rabbit of unseen character Sham-Fu the Magician. Two dogs, fleeing the local dogcatcher, enter the rabbit’s absent master’s house. The rabbit harasses them but is ultimately bested by the bigger of the two dogs. This version of the rabbit was cool, graceful, and controlled. He retained the guttural laugh but was otherwise silent.[12]

The rabbit’s third appearance comes in Hare-um Scare-um (1939), directed again by Dalton and Hardaway. This cartoon—the first in which he is depicted as a gray bunny instead of a white one—is also notable as the rabbit’s first singing role. Charlie Thorson, lead animator on the film, gave the character a name. He had written «Bug’s Bunny» on the model sheet that he drew for Hardaway.[13][14] In promotional material for the cartoon, including a surviving 1939 presskit, the name on the model sheet was altered to become the rabbit’s own name: «Bugs» Bunny (quotation marks only used, on and off, until 1944).[15]

In his autobiography, Blanc claimed that another proposed name for the character was «Happy Rabbit.»[16] In the actual cartoons and publicity, however, the name «Happy» only seems to have been used in reference to Bugs Hardaway. In Hare-um Scare-um, a newspaper headline reads, «Happy Hardaway.»[17] Animation historian David Gerstein disputes that «Happy Rabbit» was ever used as an official name, arguing that the only usage of the term came from Mel Blanc himself in humorous and fanciful tales he told about the character’s development in the 1970s and 1980s; the name «Bugs Bunny» was used as early as August 1939, in the Motion Picture Herald, in a review for the short Hare-um Scare-um.[18]

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 experience in designing hares. He had designed Max Hare in Toby Tortoise Returns (Disney, 1936). For Hardaway, Thorson created the model sheet previously mentioned, with six different rabbit poses. Thorson’s model sheet is «a comic rendition of the stereotypical fuzzy bunny». He had a pear-shaped body with a protruding rear end. His face was flat and had large expressive eyes. He had an exaggerated long neck, gloved hands with three fingers, oversized feet, and a «smart aleck» grin. The result was influenced by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ tendency to draw animals in the style of cute infants.[11] He had an obvious Disney influence, but looked like an awkward merger of the lean and streamlined Max Hare from The Tortoise and the Hare (1935) and the round, soft bunnies from Little Hiawatha (1937).[12]

In Jones’ Elmer’s Candid Camera (1940), the rabbit first meets Elmer Fudd. This time the rabbit looks more like the present-day Bugs, taller and with a similar face—but retaining the more primitive voice. Candid Camera’s Elmer character design is also different: taller and chubbier in the face than the modern model, though Arthur Q. Bryan’s character voice is already established.

Official debut

While Porky’s Hare Hunt was the first Warner Bros. cartoon to feature what would become Bugs Bunny, A Wild Hare, directed by Tex Avery and released on July 27, 1940, is widely considered to be the first official Bugs Bunny cartoon.[1][19] 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 first in which Mel Blanc uses what became Bugs’ standard voice; and the first in which Bugs uses his catchphrase, «What’s up, Doc?»[20] A Wild Hare was a huge success in theaters and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cartoon Short Subject.[21]

For the film, Avery asked Givens to remodel the rabbit. The result had a closer resemblance to Max Hare. He had a more elongated body, stood more erect, and looked more poised. If Thorson’s rabbit looked like an infant, Givens’ version looked like an adolescent.[11] Blanc gave Bugs the voice of a city slicker. The rabbit was as audacious as he had been in Hare-um Scare-um and as cool and collected as in Prest-O Change-O.[12]

Immediately following on A Wild Hare, Bob Clampett’s Patient Porky (1940) features a cameo appearance 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 characterization.

The second full-fledged role for the mature Bugs, Chuck Jones’ Elmer’s Pet Rabbit (1941), is the first to use 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 cartoon is noticeably different, and his design was slightly altered as well; Bugs’ visual design is based on the earlier version in Candid Camera, but with yellow gloves and no buck teeth, has a lower-pitched voice and a more aggressive, arrogant and thuggish personality instead of a fun-loving personality. After Pet Rabbit, however, subsequent Bugs appearances returned to normal: the Wild Hare visual design and personality returned, and Blanc re-used the Wild Hare voice characterization.

Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt (1941), directed by Friz Freleng, became the second Bugs Bunny cartoon to receive an Academy Award nomination.[22] The fact that it did not win the award was later spoofed somewhat in What’s Cookin’ Doc? (1944), in which Bugs demands a recount (claiming to be a victim of «sa-bo-TAH-gee») after losing the Oscar to James Cagney and presents a clip from Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt to prove his point.[23]

World War II

Evolution of Bugs’ design over the years.

By 1942, Bugs had become the number one star of Merrie Melodies. The series 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 front teeth and a rounder head. The character was reworked by Robert McKimson, then an animator in Clampett’s unit. The redesign at first was only used in the films created by Clampett’s unit, but in time it was taken up by the other directors, with Freleng and Frank Tashlin the first. For Tortoise Wins by a Hare (1943), he created yet another version, with more slanted eyes, longer teeth and a much larger mouth. He used this version until 1949 (as did Art Davis for the one Bugs Bunny film 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 voice had slight variations between the units.[14] Bugs also made cameos in Avery’s final Warner Bros. cartoon, Crazy Cruise.[24]

Since Bugs’ debut in A Wild Hare, he appeared only in color Merrie Melodies films (making him one of the few recurring characters created for that series in the Schlesinger era prior to the full conversion to color), alongside Egghead, Inki, Sniffles, and Elmer Fudd (who actually co-existed in 1937 along with Egghead as a separate character). While Bugs made a cameo in Porky Pig’s Feat (1943), this was his only appearance in a black-and-white Looney Tunes film. 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 film in the Looney Tunes series and was also the last Warner Bros. cartoon to credit Schlesinger (as he had retired and sold his studio to Warner Bros. that year).[23]

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 time, Warner Bros. had become the most profitable cartoon studio in the United States.[25] In company with cartoon studios such as Disney and Famous Studios, Warners pitted its characters against 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.[26] One US Navy propaganda film saved from destruction features the voice of Mel Blanc in «Tokyo Woes»[27] (1945) about the propaganda radio host Tokyo Rose. He also faces off against Hermann Göring and Hitler in Herr Meets Hare (1945), which introduced his well-known reference to Albuquerque as he mistakenly winds up in the Black Forest of ‘Joimany’ instead of Las Vegas, Nevada.[28] Bugs also appeared in the 1942 two-minute U.S. war bonds commercial film Any Bonds Today?, along with Porky and Elmer.

At the end of Super-Rabbit (1943), Bugs appears wearing a United States Marine Corps dress blue uniform. As a result, the Marine Corps made Bugs an honorary Marine master sergeant.[29] From 1943 to 1946, Bugs was the official mascot of Kingman Army Airfield, Kingman, Arizona, where thousands of aerial gunners were trained during World 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 attached to the Royal Australian Air Force and operated out of Australia’s Northern Territory from 1943 to 1945, flying B-24 Liberator bombers.[30] Bugs riding an air delivered torpedo served as the squadron logo for Marine Torpedo/Bomber Squadron 242 in the Second 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 part of the 8th Air Force operating out of England.

In 1944, Bugs Bunny made a cameo appearance in Jasper Goes Hunting, a Puppetoons film produced by rival studio Paramount Pictures. In this cameo (animated by McKimson, with Blanc providing the usual voice), Bugs (after being threatened at gunpoint) pops out of a rabbit hole, saying his usual catchphrase; after hearing the orchestra play the wrong theme song, he realizes «Hey, I’m in the wrong picture!» and then goes back in the hole.[31] Bugs also made a cameo in the Private Snafu short Gas, in which he is found stowed away in the titular private’s belongings; his only 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 end of Hare Tonic and Baseball Bugs, bursting through a drum just as Porky did, but munching on a carrot and saying, in his Bronx/Brooklyn accent, «And that’s the end!»

Post-World War II era

After World War II, Bugs continued to appear in numerous Warner Bros. cartoons, making his last «Golden Age» appearance in False Hare (1964). He starred in over 167 theatrical short films, most 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 Best Cartoon Short Subject (becoming the first and only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win said award).[32] Three of Jones’ films—Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck!—compose what is often referred to as the «Rabbit Season/Duck Season» trilogy and were the origins of the rivalry between Bugs and Daffy Duck.[33] Jones’ classic What’s Opera, Doc? (1957), casts Bugs and Elmer Fudd in a parody of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen. It was deemed «culturally significant» by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1992, becoming the first cartoon short to receive this honor.[34]

In the fall of 1960, ABC debuted the prime-time television program The Bugs Bunny Show. This show packaged many of the post-1948 Warners cartoons with newly animated wraparounds. Throughout its run, the series was highly successful, and helped cement Warner Bros. Animation as a mainstay of Saturday-morning cartoons. After two seasons, it was moved from its evening slot to reruns on Saturday mornings. The Bugs Bunny Show changed format and exact title frequently but remained on network television 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.[35]

Later years

Bugs did not appear in any 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 Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies. He did, however, have two cameo appearances in the 1974 Joe Adamson short A Political Cartoon; one at the beginning of the short, and another in which he is interviewed at a pet store. Bugs was animated in this short by Mark Kausler.[36] He did not appear 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 television, such as Bugs Bunny’s Thanksgiving Diet, Bugs Bunny’s Easter Special, Bugs Bunny’s Looney Christmas Tales, and Bugs Bunny’s 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)[37][38] and Warner Bros.’ own releases: The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979), The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981), Bugs Bunny’s 3rd 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 one of the inhabitants of Toontown. However, since the film was being produced by Disney, Warner Bros. would only allow the use of their biggest star if he got an equal amount of screen time as Disney’s biggest star, Mickey Mouse. Because of this, both characters are always together in frame when onscreen. Roger Rabbit was also one of the final productions in which Mel Blanc voiced Bugs (as well as the other Looney Tunes characters) before his death in 1989.

Bugs later appeared in another animated production featuring numerous characters from rival studios: the 1990 drug prevention TV special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.[39][40][41] This special is notable for being the first time that someone other than Blanc voiced Bugs and Daffy (both characters were voiced by Jeff Bergman for this). Bugs also made guest appearances in the early 1990s television series Tiny Toon Adventures, as the principal of Acme Looniversity and the mentor of Babs and Buster Bunny. He made further cameos in Warner Bros.’ subsequent animated TV shows Taz-Mania, Animaniacs, and Histeria!

Bugs returned to the silver screen in Box-Office Bunny (1991). This was the first Bugs Bunny cartoon since 1964 to be released in theaters and it was created for Bugs’ 50th anniversary celebration. It was followed by (Blooper) Bunny, a cartoon that was shelved from theaters,[42] but later premiered on Cartoon Network in 1997 and has since gained a cult following among animation fans for its edgy humor.[43][44][45]

In 1996, Bugs and the other Looney Tunes characters appeared in the live-action/animated film, Space Jam, directed by Joe Pytka and starring NBA superstar Michael Jordan. The film also introduced the character Lola Bunny, who becomes Bugs’ new love interest. Space Jam received mixed reviews from critics,[46][47] but was a box office success (grossing over $230 million worldwide).[48] The success of Space Jam led to the development of another live-action/animated film, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, released in 2003 and directed by Joe Dante. Unlike Space Jam, Back in Action was a box-office bomb,[49] though it did receive more positive reviews from critics.[50][51][52]

In 1997, Bugs appeared on a U.S. postage stamp, the first cartoon to be so honored, beating the iconic Mickey Mouse. The stamp is number seven on the list of the ten most popular U.S. stamps, as calculated by the number of stamps purchased but not used. The introduction of Bugs onto a stamp was controversial at the time, as it was seen as a step toward the ‘commercialization’ of stamp art. The postal service rejected many designs and went with a postal-themed drawing. Avery Dennison printed the Bugs Bunny stamp sheet, which featured «a special ten-stamp design and was the first self-adhesive souvenir sheet issued by the U.S. Postal Service.»[53]

More recent years

A younger version of Bugs is the main character of Baby Looney Tunes, which debuted on Kids’ WB in 2001. In the action-comedy Loonatics Unleashed, his definite descendant Ace Bunny is the leader of the Loonatics team and seems to have inherited his ancestor’s Brooklyn accent and rapier wit.[54]

In 2011, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang returned to television in the Cartoon Network sitcom, The Looney Tunes Show. The characters feature new designs by artist Jessica Borutski. Among the changes to Bugs’ appearance were the simplification and enlargement of his feet, as well as a change to his fur from gray to a shade of mauve (though in the second season, his fur was changed back to gray).[55] In the series, Bugs and Daffy Duck are portrayed as best friends as opposed to their usual pairing as friendly rivals. At the same time, Bugs is more vocally exasperated by Daffy’s antics in the series (sometimes to the point of anger), compared to his usual level-headed personality from the original cartoons. Bugs and Daffy are friends with Porky Pig in the series, although Bugs tends to be a better friend to Porky than Daffy is. Bugs also dates Lola Bunny in the show despite the fact that he finds her to be «crazy» and a bit too talkative at first (he later learns to accept her personality quirks, similar to his tolerance for Daffy). Unlike 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,[56] and later returned to television yet again as the star of Cartoon Network and Boomerang’s comedy series New Looney Tunes (formerly Wabbit).[57][58]

In 2020, Bugs began appearing on the HBO Max streaming series Looney Tunes Cartoons. His design for this series primarily resembles his Bob Clampett days, complete with yellow gloves and his signature carrot. His personality is a combination of Freleng’s trickery, Clampett’s defiance, and Jones’ resilience, while also maintaining his confident, insolent, smooth-talking demeanor. Bugs is voiced by Eric Bauza, who is also the current voice of Daffy Duck and Tweety, among others.[59] Bugs made his return to movie theaters in the 2021 Space Jam sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy, this time starring NBA superstar LeBron James.[60] In 2022, a new pre-school animated series titled Bugs Bunny Builders aired on HBO Max and Cartoonito.[61]

Bugs has also appeared in numerous video games, including the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle series, Bugs Bunny Birthday 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 Time, Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters, Loons: The Fight for Fame, Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal, Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes: Cartoon Universe, Looney Tunes Dash, Looney Tunes World of Mayhem and MultiVersus.

Personality and catchphrases

«Some people call me cocky and brash, but actually I am just self-assured. I’m nonchalant, im­perturbable, contemplative. I play it cool, but I can get hot under the collar. And above all I’m a very ‘aware’ character. I’m well aware that I am appearing in an animated car­toon….And sometimes I chomp on my carrot for the same reason that a stand-up comic chomps on his cigar. It saves me from rushing from the last joke to the next one too fast. And I sometimes don’t act, I react. And I always treat the contest with my pursuers as ‘fun and games.’ When momentarily I appear to be cornered or in dire danger and I scream, don’t be consoined – it’s actually a big put-on. Let’s face it, Doc. I’ve read the script and I al­ready know how it turns out.»

—Bob Clampett on Bugs Bunny, written in first person.[62]

Bugs Bunny is characterized as being clever and capable of outsmarting almost anyone who antagonizes him, including Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote, Gossamer, Witch Hazel, Rocky and Mugsy, The Crusher, Beaky Buzzard, Willoughby, Count Bloodcount, Daffy Duck and a host of others. The only one to consistently beat Bugs is Cecil Turtle, who defeats Bugs in three consecutive 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 crime in 1949’s Rebel Rabbit, taking on the entire United States government by vandalizing monuments in an effort to prove he is worth more than the two-cent bounty on his head; while he succeeds in raising the bounty to $1,000,000, the full force of the military ends up capturing Bugs and sending him to Alcatraz.

Bugs almost 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 by the antagonists while minding his own business, justifying his subsequent antics as retaliation or self-defense. He has also been known to break the fourth wall by «communicating» with the audience, either by explaining the situation (e.g. «Be with you in a minute, folks!»), describing someone to the audience (e.g. «Feisty, ain’t they?»), clueing in on the story (e.g. «That happens to him all during the picture, folks.»), explaining that one of his antagonists’ actions have pushed him to the breaking point («Of course you realize, this means war.» — a line borrowed from Groucho Marx in Duck Soup and used again in the next Marx Brothers film A Night at the Opera (1935)[63] ), admitting his own deviousness toward his antagonists («Ain’t I a stinker?» — a line borrowed from Lou Costello[64][65][63]), etc. This style was used and established by Tex Avery.

Bugs usually tries to placate his antagonist and avoid conflict but, when an antagonist pushes him too far, Bugs may address the audience and invoke his catchphrase «Of course you realize this means war!» before he retaliates in a devastating manner. As mentioned earlier, this line was taken from Groucho Marx. Bugs paid homage to Groucho in other ways, such as occasionally adopting his stooped walk or leering eyebrow-raising (in Hair-Raising Hare, for example) 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 It Happened One 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’s character. 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 film also features a minor character, Oscar Shapely, who addresses Peter Warne as «Doc», and Warne mentions an imaginary person named «Bugs Dooley» to frighten Shapely.[66]

«‘What’s up Doc?’ is a very simple thing. It’s only funny because it’s in a situation. It was an all Bugs Bunny line. It wasn’t funny. If you put it in human terms; you come home late one night from work, you walk up to the gate in the yard, you walk through the gate and up into the front room, the door is partly open and there’s some guy shooting under your living room. So what do you do? You run if you have any sense, the least you can do is call the cops. But what if you come up and tap him on the shoulder and look over and say ‘What’s up Doc?’ You’re interested in what he’s doing. That’s ridiculous. That’s not what you say at a time like that. So that’s why it’s funny, I think. In other words it’s asking a perfectly legitimate question in a perfectly illogical situation.»

—Chuck Jones on Bugs Bunny’s catchphrase «What’s up Doc?»[67]

The carrot-chewing scenes are generally followed by Bugs’ most well-known catchphrase, «What’s up, Doc?», which was written by director Tex Avery for his first Bugs Bunny film, A Wild Hare (1940). Avery explained later that it was a common expression in his native Texas and that he did not think much of the phrase. Back then «doc» meant the same as «dude» does today. When the cartoon was first screened in theaters, the «What’s up, Doc?» scene generated a tremendously positive audience reaction.[20][68] As a result, the scene became a recurring element in subsequent cartoons. The phrase was sometimes modified for a situation. For example, Bugs says «What’s up, dogs?» to the antagonists in A Hare Grows in Manhattan, «What’s up, Duke?» to the knight in Knight-mare Hare, and «What’s up, prune-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?» only once, in Falling Hare. Another variation is used in Looney Tunes: Back in Action when he greets a blaster-wielding Marvin the Martian saying «What’s up, 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 Abominable Snow Rabbit), and Antarctica (Frigid Hare) all because he «knew (he) shoulda taken that left toin at Albukoikee.» He first utters that phrase in Herr Meets Hare (1945), when he emerges in the Black Forest, a cartoon seldom seen today due to its blatantly topical subject matter. When Hermann Göring says to Bugs, «There is no Las Vegas in ‘Chermany'» and takes a potshot at Bugs, Bugs dives into his hole 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 Sea (1948), while thinking he is heading for the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, it provides another chance for an ethnic joke: «Therrre arrre no La Brrrea Tarrr Pits in Scotland!» (to which Bugs responds, «Scotland!? Eh…what’s up, Mac-doc?»). A couple of late-1950s/early-1960s cartoons of this ilk also featured Daffy Duck travelling with Bugs («Hey, wait a minute! Since when is Pismo Beach inside a cave?»).

Voice actors

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

Mel Blanc

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

Mel Blanc voiced the character for almost 50 years, from Bugs’ debut in the 1940 short A Wild Hare until Blanc’s death in 1989. Blanc described the voice as a combination of Bronx and Brooklyn accents; however, Tex Avery claimed that he asked Blanc to give the character not a New York accent per se, but a voice like that of actor Frank McHugh, who frequently appeared in supporting roles in the 1930s and whose voice might be described as New York Irish.[14] 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 character 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 bits into a spittoon, rather than swallowing them, and continued with the dialogue. One often-repeated story, which dates back to the 1940s,[69] 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.[16] In fact, in a 1984 interview with Tim Lawson, co-author of The Magic Behind The Voices: A Who’s Who of Voice Actors, Blanc emphatically denied being allergic to carrots.

Comics

Comic books

Bugs Bunny was continuously featured in comic books for more than 40 years, from 1941 to 1983, and has appeared sporadically since then. Bugs first appeared in comic books in 1941, in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #1, published by Dell Comics. Bugs was a recurring star in that book all through its 153-issue run, which lasted until July 1954. Western Publishing (and its Dell imprint) published 245 issues of a Bugs Bunny comic book from Dec. 1952/Jan. 1953 to 1983. The company also published 81 issues of the joint title Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny from December 1970 to 1983. During the 1950s Dell also published a number of Bugs Bunny spinoff titles.

Creators on those series included Chase Craig, Helen Houghton,[142] Eleanor Packer,[143] Lloyd Turner,[144] Michael Maltese, John Liggera,[145] Tony Strobl, Veve Risto, Cecil Beard, Pete Alvorado, Carl Fallberg, Cal Howard, Vic Lockman, Lynn Karp, Pete Llanuza, Pete Hansen, Jack Carey, Del Connell, Kellog Adams, Jack Manning, Mark Evanier, Tom McKimson, Joe Messerli, Carlos Garzon, Donald F. Glut, Sealtiel Alatriste, Sandro Costa, and Massimo Fechi.

The German publisher Condor published a 76-issues Bugs Bunny series (translated and reprinted from the American comics) in the mid-1970s. The Danish publisher Egmont Ehapa produced a weekly reprint series in the mid-1990s.

Comic strip

The Bugs Bunny comic strip ran for almost 50 years, from January 10, 1943, to December 30, 1990, syndicated by the Newspaper Enterprise Association. It started out as a Sunday page and added a daily strip on November 1, 1948.[146]

The strip originated with Chase Craig, who did the first five weeks before leaving for military service in World War II.[147] Roger Armstrong illustrated the strip from 1942 to 1944.[148] The creators most associated with the strip are writers Albert Stoffel (1947–1979)[149] & Carl Fallberg (1950–1969),[150] and artist Ralph Heimdahl, who worked on it from 1947 to 1979.[151] 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.[152][153]

Reception and legacy

Statue evoking Bugs Bunny at Butterfly Park Bangladesh.

Like Mickey Mouse for Disney, Bugs Bunny has served as the mascot for Warner Bros. and its various divisions. According to Guinness World Records, Bugs has appeared in more films (both short and feature-length) than any other cartoon character, and is the ninth most portrayed film personality in the world.[7] On December 10, 1985, Bugs became the second cartoon character (after Mickey) to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[8]

He also has been a pitchman for companies including Kool-Aid and Nike. His Nike commercials with Michael Jordan as «Hare Jordan» for the Air Jordan VII and VIII became precursors to Space Jam. As a result, he has spent time as an honorary member of Jordan Brand, including having Jordan’s Jumpman logo done in his image. In 2015, as part of the 30th anniversary 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’s equivalent inspired by Lola Bunny called the «Air Jordan Mid 1 Lola», along with a commercial featuring Bugs and Ahmad Rashad.[154]

In 2002, TV Guide compiled a list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time as part of the magazine’s 50th anniversary. Bugs Bunny was given the honor of number 1.[155][156] In a CNN broadcast on July 31, 2002, a TV Guide editor talked about the group that created the list. The editor also explained why Bugs pulled top billing: «His stock…has never gone down…Bugs is the best example…of the smart-aleck American comic. He not only is a great cartoon character, he’s a great comedian. He was written well. He was drawn beautifully. He has thrilled and made many generations laugh. He is tops.»[157] Some have noted that comedian Eric Andre is the nearest contemporary comedic equivalent to Bugs. They attribute this to, «their ability to constantly flip the script on their unwitting counterparts.»[158]

Language

The American use of Nimrod to mean «idiot» is often said to have originated from Bugs’s exclamation «What a Nimrod!» to describe the inept hunter Elmer Fudd.[159] However, it is Daffy Duck who refers to Fudd as «my little Nimrod» in the 1948 short «What Makes Daffy Duck»,[160] and the Oxford English Dictionary records earlier negative uses of the term «nimrod».[161]

Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character created in the late 1930s at Warner Bros. Cartoons (originally Leon Schlesinger Productions) and voiced originally by Mel Blanc.[4] Bugs is best known for his featured roles in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated short films, produced by Warner Bros. Earlier iterations of the character first appeared in Ben Hardaway’s Porky’s Hare Hunt (1938) and subsequent shorts before Bugs’s definitive characterization debuted in Tex Avery’s A Wild Hare (1940).[1] Bob Givens and Robert McKimson are credited for defining Bugs’s design.[1]

Bugs is an anthropomorphic gray and white rabbit or hare who is characterized by his flippant, insouciant personality. He is also characterized by a Brooklyn accent, his portrayal as a trickster, and his catch phrase «Eh…What’s up, doc?». Through his popularity during the golden age of American animation, Bugs became an American cultural icon and Warner Bros.’ official mascot.[5]

Bugs starred in more than 160 short films produced between 1940 and 1964.[6] He has since appeared in feature films, television shows, comics, and other media. He has appeared in more films than any other cartoon character, is the ninth most-portrayed film personality in the world[7] and has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[8]

Development

Bugs’ preliminary debut (as an unnamed little white rabbit) in Porky’s Hare Hunt (1938).

According to Chase Craig, who wrote and drew the first Bugs Bunny comic Sunday pages and the first Bugs comic book, «Bugs was not the creation of any one man; however, he rather represented the creative talents of perhaps five or six directors and many cartoon writers including Charlie Thorson.[9] In those days, the stories were often the work of a group who suggested various gags, bounced them around and finalized them in a joint story conference.»[10] A Bugs-like rabbit with some of the personality of a finalized Bugs, though looking very different, was originally featured in the film Porky’s Hare Hunt, released on April 30, 1938. It was co-directed by Ben «Bugs» Hardaway and an uncredited director Cal Dalton (who was responsible for the initial design of the rabbit). This cartoon has an almost identical plot to Avery’s Porky’s Duck Hunt (1937), which had introduced Daffy Duck. Porky Pig is again cast as a hunter tracking a silly prey who is more interested in driving his pursuer insane and less interested in escaping. Hare Hunt replaces the little black duck with a small white rabbit. According to Friz Freleng, Hardaway and Dalton had decided to «dress the duck in a rabbit suit».[11] The white rabbit had an oval head and a shapeless body. In characterization, he was «a rural buffoon». Mel Blanc gave the character a voice and laugh much like those he later used for Woody Woodpecker. He was loud, zany with a goofy, guttural laugh.[12] The rabbit character was popular enough with audiences that the Termite Terrace staff decided to use it again.[13]

The rabbit comes back in Prest-O Change-O (1939), directed by Chuck Jones, where he is the pet rabbit of unseen character Sham-Fu the Magician. Two dogs, fleeing the local dogcatcher, enter the rabbit’s absent master’s house. The rabbit harasses them but is ultimately bested by the bigger of the two dogs. This version of the rabbit was cool, graceful, and controlled. He retained the guttural laugh but was otherwise silent.[12]

The rabbit’s third appearance comes in Hare-um Scare-um (1939), directed again by Dalton and Hardaway. This cartoon—the first in which he is depicted as a gray bunny instead of a white one—is also notable as the rabbit’s first singing role. Charlie Thorson, lead animator on the film, gave the character a name. He had written «Bug’s Bunny» on the model sheet that he drew for Hardaway.[13][14] In promotional material for the cartoon, including a surviving 1939 presskit, the name on the model sheet was altered to become the rabbit’s own name: «Bugs» Bunny (quotation marks only used, on and off, until 1944).[15]

In his autobiography, Blanc claimed that another proposed name for the character was «Happy Rabbit.»[16] In the actual cartoons and publicity, however, the name «Happy» only seems to have been used in reference to Bugs Hardaway. In Hare-um Scare-um, a newspaper headline reads, «Happy Hardaway.»[17] Animation historian David Gerstein disputes that «Happy Rabbit» was ever used as an official name, arguing that the only usage of the term came from Mel Blanc himself in humorous and fanciful tales he told about the character’s development in the 1970s and 1980s; the name «Bugs Bunny» was used as early as August 1939, in the Motion Picture Herald, in a review for the short Hare-um Scare-um.[18]

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 experience in designing hares. He had designed Max Hare in Toby Tortoise Returns (Disney, 1936). For Hardaway, Thorson created the model sheet previously mentioned, with six different rabbit poses. Thorson’s model sheet is «a comic rendition of the stereotypical fuzzy bunny». He had a pear-shaped body with a protruding rear end. His face was flat and had large expressive eyes. He had an exaggerated long neck, gloved hands with three fingers, oversized feet, and a «smart aleck» grin. The result was influenced by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ tendency to draw animals in the style of cute infants.[11] He had an obvious Disney influence, but looked like an awkward merger of the lean and streamlined Max Hare from The Tortoise and the Hare (1935) and the round, soft bunnies from Little Hiawatha (1937).[12]

In Jones’ Elmer’s Candid Camera (1940), the rabbit first meets Elmer Fudd. This time the rabbit looks more like the present-day Bugs, taller and with a similar face—but retaining the more primitive voice. Candid Camera’s Elmer character design is also different: taller and chubbier in the face than the modern model, though Arthur Q. Bryan’s character voice is already established.

Official debut

While Porky’s Hare Hunt was the first Warner Bros. cartoon to feature what would become Bugs Bunny, A Wild Hare, directed by Tex Avery and released on July 27, 1940, is widely considered to be the first official Bugs Bunny cartoon.[1][19] 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 first in which Mel Blanc uses what became Bugs’ standard voice; and the first in which Bugs uses his catchphrase, «What’s up, Doc?»[20] A Wild Hare was a huge success in theaters and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cartoon Short Subject.[21]

For the film, Avery asked Givens to remodel the rabbit. The result had a closer resemblance to Max Hare. He had a more elongated body, stood more erect, and looked more poised. If Thorson’s rabbit looked like an infant, Givens’ version looked like an adolescent.[11] Blanc gave Bugs the voice of a city slicker. The rabbit was as audacious as he had been in Hare-um Scare-um and as cool and collected as in Prest-O Change-O.[12]

Immediately following on A Wild Hare, Bob Clampett’s Patient Porky (1940) features a cameo appearance 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 characterization.

The second full-fledged role for the mature Bugs, Chuck Jones’ Elmer’s Pet Rabbit (1941), is the first to use 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 cartoon is noticeably different, and his design was slightly altered as well; Bugs’ visual design is based on the earlier version in Candid Camera, but with yellow gloves and no buck teeth, has a lower-pitched voice and a more aggressive, arrogant and thuggish personality instead of a fun-loving personality. After Pet Rabbit, however, subsequent Bugs appearances returned to normal: the Wild Hare visual design and personality returned, and Blanc re-used the Wild Hare voice characterization.

Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt (1941), directed by Friz Freleng, became the second Bugs Bunny cartoon to receive an Academy Award nomination.[22] The fact that it did not win the award was later spoofed somewhat in What’s Cookin’ Doc? (1944), in which Bugs demands a recount (claiming to be a victim of «sa-bo-TAH-gee») after losing the Oscar to James Cagney and presents a clip from Hiawatha’s Rabbit Hunt to prove his point.[23]

World War II

Evolution of Bugs’ design over the years.

By 1942, Bugs had become the number one star of Merrie Melodies. The series 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 front teeth and a rounder head. The character was reworked by Robert McKimson, then an animator in Clampett’s unit. The redesign at first was only used in the films created by Clampett’s unit, but in time it was taken up by the other directors, with Freleng and Frank Tashlin the first. For Tortoise Wins by a Hare (1943), he created yet another version, with more slanted eyes, longer teeth and a much larger mouth. He used this version until 1949 (as did Art Davis for the one Bugs Bunny film 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 voice had slight variations between the units.[14] Bugs also made cameos in Avery’s final Warner Bros. cartoon, Crazy Cruise.[24]

Since Bugs’ debut in A Wild Hare, he appeared only in color Merrie Melodies films (making him one of the few recurring characters created for that series in the Schlesinger era prior to the full conversion to color), alongside Egghead, Inki, Sniffles, and Elmer Fudd (who actually co-existed in 1937 along with Egghead as a separate character). While Bugs made a cameo in Porky Pig’s Feat (1943), this was his only appearance in a black-and-white Looney Tunes film. 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 film in the Looney Tunes series and was also the last Warner Bros. cartoon to credit Schlesinger (as he had retired and sold his studio to Warner Bros. that year).[23]

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 time, Warner Bros. had become the most profitable cartoon studio in the United States.[25] In company with cartoon studios such as Disney and Famous Studios, Warners pitted its characters against 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.[26] One US Navy propaganda film saved from destruction features the voice of Mel Blanc in «Tokyo Woes»[27] (1945) about the propaganda radio host Tokyo Rose. He also faces off against Hermann Göring and Hitler in Herr Meets Hare (1945), which introduced his well-known reference to Albuquerque as he mistakenly winds up in the Black Forest of ‘Joimany’ instead of Las Vegas, Nevada.[28] Bugs also appeared in the 1942 two-minute U.S. war bonds commercial film Any Bonds Today?, along with Porky and Elmer.

At the end of Super-Rabbit (1943), Bugs appears wearing a United States Marine Corps dress blue uniform. As a result, the Marine Corps made Bugs an honorary Marine master sergeant.[29] From 1943 to 1946, Bugs was the official mascot of Kingman Army Airfield, Kingman, Arizona, where thousands of aerial gunners were trained during World 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 attached to the Royal Australian Air Force and operated out of Australia’s Northern Territory from 1943 to 1945, flying B-24 Liberator bombers.[30] Bugs riding an air delivered torpedo served as the squadron logo for Marine Torpedo/Bomber Squadron 242 in the Second 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 part of the 8th Air Force operating out of England.

In 1944, Bugs Bunny made a cameo appearance in Jasper Goes Hunting, a Puppetoons film produced by rival studio Paramount Pictures. In this cameo (animated by McKimson, with Blanc providing the usual voice), Bugs (after being threatened at gunpoint) pops out of a rabbit hole, saying his usual catchphrase; after hearing the orchestra play the wrong theme song, he realizes «Hey, I’m in the wrong picture!» and then goes back in the hole.[31] Bugs also made a cameo in the Private Snafu short Gas, in which he is found stowed away in the titular private’s belongings; his only 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 end of Hare Tonic and Baseball Bugs, bursting through a drum just as Porky did, but munching on a carrot and saying, in his Bronx/Brooklyn accent, «And that’s the end!»

Post-World War II era

After World War II, Bugs continued to appear in numerous Warner Bros. cartoons, making his last «Golden Age» appearance in False Hare (1964). He starred in over 167 theatrical short films, most 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 Best Cartoon Short Subject (becoming the first and only Bugs Bunny cartoon to win said award).[32] Three of Jones’ films—Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning and Duck! Rabbit, Duck!—compose what is often referred to as the «Rabbit Season/Duck Season» trilogy and were the origins of the rivalry between Bugs and Daffy Duck.[33] Jones’ classic What’s Opera, Doc? (1957), casts Bugs and Elmer Fudd in a parody of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen. It was deemed «culturally significant» by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1992, becoming the first cartoon short to receive this honor.[34]

In the fall of 1960, ABC debuted the prime-time television program The Bugs Bunny Show. This show packaged many of the post-1948 Warners cartoons with newly animated wraparounds. Throughout its run, the series was highly successful, and helped cement Warner Bros. Animation as a mainstay of Saturday-morning cartoons. After two seasons, it was moved from its evening slot to reruns on Saturday mornings. The Bugs Bunny Show changed format and exact title frequently but remained on network television 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.[35]

Later years

Bugs did not appear in any 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 Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies. He did, however, have two cameo appearances in the 1974 Joe Adamson short A Political Cartoon; one at the beginning of the short, and another in which he is interviewed at a pet store. Bugs was animated in this short by Mark Kausler.[36] He did not appear 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 television, such as Bugs Bunny’s Thanksgiving Diet, Bugs Bunny’s Easter Special, Bugs Bunny’s Looney Christmas Tales, and Bugs Bunny’s 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)[37][38] and Warner Bros.’ own releases: The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979), The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981), Bugs Bunny’s 3rd 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 one of the inhabitants of Toontown. However, since the film was being produced by Disney, Warner Bros. would only allow the use of their biggest star if he got an equal amount of screen time as Disney’s biggest star, Mickey Mouse. Because of this, both characters are always together in frame when onscreen. Roger Rabbit was also one of the final productions in which Mel Blanc voiced Bugs (as well as the other Looney Tunes characters) before his death in 1989.

Bugs later appeared in another animated production featuring numerous characters from rival studios: the 1990 drug prevention TV special Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.[39][40][41] This special is notable for being the first time that someone other than Blanc voiced Bugs and Daffy (both characters were voiced by Jeff Bergman for this). Bugs also made guest appearances in the early 1990s television series Tiny Toon Adventures, as the principal of Acme Looniversity and the mentor of Babs and Buster Bunny. He made further cameos in Warner Bros.’ subsequent animated TV shows Taz-Mania, Animaniacs, and Histeria!

Bugs returned to the silver screen in Box-Office Bunny (1991). This was the first Bugs Bunny cartoon since 1964 to be released in theaters and it was created for Bugs’ 50th anniversary celebration. It was followed by (Blooper) Bunny, a cartoon that was shelved from theaters,[42] but later premiered on Cartoon Network in 1997 and has since gained a cult following among animation fans for its edgy humor.[43][44][45]

In 1996, Bugs and the other Looney Tunes characters appeared in the live-action/animated film, Space Jam, directed by Joe Pytka and starring NBA superstar Michael Jordan. The film also introduced the character Lola Bunny, who becomes Bugs’ new love interest. Space Jam received mixed reviews from critics,[46][47] but was a box office success (grossing over $230 million worldwide).[48] The success of Space Jam led to the development of another live-action/animated film, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, released in 2003 and directed by Joe Dante. Unlike Space Jam, Back in Action was a box-office bomb,[49] though it did receive more positive reviews from critics.[50][51][52]

In 1997, Bugs appeared on a U.S. postage stamp, the first cartoon to be so honored, beating the iconic Mickey Mouse. The stamp is number seven on the list of the ten most popular U.S. stamps, as calculated by the number of stamps purchased but not used. The introduction of Bugs onto a stamp was controversial at the time, as it was seen as a step toward the ‘commercialization’ of stamp art. The postal service rejected many designs and went with a postal-themed drawing. Avery Dennison printed the Bugs Bunny stamp sheet, which featured «a special ten-stamp design and was the first self-adhesive souvenir sheet issued by the U.S. Postal Service.»[53]

More recent years

A younger version of Bugs is the main character of Baby Looney Tunes, which debuted on Kids’ WB in 2001. In the action-comedy Loonatics Unleashed, his definite descendant Ace Bunny is the leader of the Loonatics team and seems to have inherited his ancestor’s Brooklyn accent and rapier wit.[54]

In 2011, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang returned to television in the Cartoon Network sitcom, The Looney Tunes Show. The characters feature new designs by artist Jessica Borutski. Among the changes to Bugs’ appearance were the simplification and enlargement of his feet, as well as a change to his fur from gray to a shade of mauve (though in the second season, his fur was changed back to gray).[55] In the series, Bugs and Daffy Duck are portrayed as best friends as opposed to their usual pairing as friendly rivals. At the same time, Bugs is more vocally exasperated by Daffy’s antics in the series (sometimes to the point of anger), compared to his usual level-headed personality from the original cartoons. Bugs and Daffy are friends with Porky Pig in the series, although Bugs tends to be a better friend to Porky than Daffy is. Bugs also dates Lola Bunny in the show despite the fact that he finds her to be «crazy» and a bit too talkative at first (he later learns to accept her personality quirks, similar to his tolerance for Daffy). Unlike 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,[56] and later returned to television yet again as the star of Cartoon Network and Boomerang’s comedy series New Looney Tunes (formerly Wabbit).[57][58]

In 2020, Bugs began appearing on the HBO Max streaming series Looney Tunes Cartoons. His design for this series primarily resembles his Bob Clampett days, complete with yellow gloves and his signature carrot. His personality is a combination of Freleng’s trickery, Clampett’s defiance, and Jones’ resilience, while also maintaining his confident, insolent, smooth-talking demeanor. Bugs is voiced by Eric Bauza, who is also the current voice of Daffy Duck and Tweety, among others.[59] Bugs made his return to movie theaters in the 2021 Space Jam sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy, this time starring NBA superstar LeBron James.[60] In 2022, a new pre-school animated series titled Bugs Bunny Builders aired on HBO Max and Cartoonito.[61]

Bugs has also appeared in numerous video games, including the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle series, Bugs Bunny Birthday 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 Time, Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters, Loons: The Fight for Fame, Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal, Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes: Cartoon Universe, Looney Tunes Dash, Looney Tunes World of Mayhem and MultiVersus.

Personality and catchphrases

«Some people call me cocky and brash, but actually I am just self-assured. I’m nonchalant, im­perturbable, contemplative. I play it cool, but I can get hot under the collar. And above all I’m a very ‘aware’ character. I’m well aware that I am appearing in an animated car­toon….And sometimes I chomp on my carrot for the same reason that a stand-up comic chomps on his cigar. It saves me from rushing from the last joke to the next one too fast. And I sometimes don’t act, I react. And I always treat the contest with my pursuers as ‘fun and games.’ When momentarily I appear to be cornered or in dire danger and I scream, don’t be consoined – it’s actually a big put-on. Let’s face it, Doc. I’ve read the script and I al­ready know how it turns out.»

—Bob Clampett on Bugs Bunny, written in first person.[62]

Bugs Bunny is characterized as being clever and capable of outsmarting almost anyone who antagonizes him, including Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote, Gossamer, Witch Hazel, Rocky and Mugsy, The Crusher, Beaky Buzzard, Willoughby, Count Bloodcount, Daffy Duck and a host of others. The only one to consistently beat Bugs is Cecil Turtle, who defeats Bugs in three consecutive 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 crime in 1949’s Rebel Rabbit, taking on the entire United States government by vandalizing monuments in an effort to prove he is worth more than the two-cent bounty on his head; while he succeeds in raising the bounty to $1,000,000, the full force of the military ends up capturing Bugs and sending him to Alcatraz.

Bugs almost 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 by the antagonists while minding his own business, justifying his subsequent antics as retaliation or self-defense. He has also been known to break the fourth wall by «communicating» with the audience, either by explaining the situation (e.g. «Be with you in a minute, folks!»), describing someone to the audience (e.g. «Feisty, ain’t they?»), clueing in on the story (e.g. «That happens to him all during the picture, folks.»), explaining that one of his antagonists’ actions have pushed him to the breaking point («Of course you realize, this means war.» — a line borrowed from Groucho Marx in Duck Soup and used again in the next Marx Brothers film A Night at the Opera (1935)[63] ), admitting his own deviousness toward his antagonists («Ain’t I a stinker?» — a line borrowed from Lou Costello[64][65][63]), etc. This style was used and established by Tex Avery.

Bugs usually tries to placate his antagonist and avoid conflict but, when an antagonist pushes him too far, Bugs may address the audience and invoke his catchphrase «Of course you realize this means war!» before he retaliates in a devastating manner. As mentioned earlier, this line was taken from Groucho Marx. Bugs paid homage to Groucho in other ways, such as occasionally adopting his stooped walk or leering eyebrow-raising (in Hair-Raising Hare, for example) 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 It Happened One 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’s character. 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 film also features a minor character, Oscar Shapely, who addresses Peter Warne as «Doc», and Warne mentions an imaginary person named «Bugs Dooley» to frighten Shapely.[66]

«‘What’s up Doc?’ is a very simple thing. It’s only funny because it’s in a situation. It was an all Bugs Bunny line. It wasn’t funny. If you put it in human terms; you come home late one night from work, you walk up to the gate in the yard, you walk through the gate and up into the front room, the door is partly open and there’s some guy shooting under your living room. So what do you do? You run if you have any sense, the least you can do is call the cops. But what if you come up and tap him on the shoulder and look over and say ‘What’s up Doc?’ You’re interested in what he’s doing. That’s ridiculous. That’s not what you say at a time like that. So that’s why it’s funny, I think. In other words it’s asking a perfectly legitimate question in a perfectly illogical situation.»

—Chuck Jones on Bugs Bunny’s catchphrase «What’s up Doc?»[67]

The carrot-chewing scenes are generally followed by Bugs’ most well-known catchphrase, «What’s up, Doc?», which was written by director Tex Avery for his first Bugs Bunny film, A Wild Hare (1940). Avery explained later that it was a common expression in his native Texas and that he did not think much of the phrase. Back then «doc» meant the same as «dude» does today. When the cartoon was first screened in theaters, the «What’s up, Doc?» scene generated a tremendously positive audience reaction.[20][68] As a result, the scene became a recurring element in subsequent cartoons. The phrase was sometimes modified for a situation. For example, Bugs says «What’s up, dogs?» to the antagonists in A Hare Grows in Manhattan, «What’s up, Duke?» to the knight in Knight-mare Hare, and «What’s up, prune-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?» only once, in Falling Hare. Another variation is used in Looney Tunes: Back in Action when he greets a blaster-wielding Marvin the Martian saying «What’s up, 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 Abominable Snow Rabbit), and Antarctica (Frigid Hare) all because he «knew (he) shoulda taken that left toin at Albukoikee.» He first utters that phrase in Herr Meets Hare (1945), when he emerges in the Black Forest, a cartoon seldom seen today due to its blatantly topical subject matter. When Hermann Göring says to Bugs, «There is no Las Vegas in ‘Chermany'» and takes a potshot at Bugs, Bugs dives into his hole 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 Sea (1948), while thinking he is heading for the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, it provides another chance for an ethnic joke: «Therrre arrre no La Brrrea Tarrr Pits in Scotland!» (to which Bugs responds, «Scotland!? Eh…what’s up, Mac-doc?»). A couple of late-1950s/early-1960s cartoons of this ilk also featured Daffy Duck travelling with Bugs («Hey, wait a minute! Since when is Pismo Beach inside a cave?»).

Voice actors

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

Mel Blanc

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

Mel Blanc voiced the character for almost 50 years, from Bugs’ debut in the 1940 short A Wild Hare until Blanc’s death in 1989. Blanc described the voice as a combination of Bronx and Brooklyn accents; however, Tex Avery claimed that he asked Blanc to give the character not a New York accent per se, but a voice like that of actor Frank McHugh, who frequently appeared in supporting roles in the 1930s and whose voice might be described as New York Irish.[14] 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 character 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 bits into a spittoon, rather than swallowing them, and continued with the dialogue. One often-repeated story, which dates back to the 1940s,[69] 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.[16] In fact, in a 1984 interview with Tim Lawson, co-author of The Magic Behind The Voices: A Who’s Who of Voice Actors, Blanc emphatically denied being allergic to carrots.

Comics

Comic books

Bugs Bunny was continuously featured in comic books for more than 40 years, from 1941 to 1983, and has appeared sporadically since then. Bugs first appeared in comic books in 1941, in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #1, published by Dell Comics. Bugs was a recurring star in that book all through its 153-issue run, which lasted until July 1954. Western Publishing (and its Dell imprint) published 245 issues of a Bugs Bunny comic book from Dec. 1952/Jan. 1953 to 1983. The company also published 81 issues of the joint title Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny from December 1970 to 1983. During the 1950s Dell also published a number of Bugs Bunny spinoff titles.

Creators on those series included Chase Craig, Helen Houghton,[142] Eleanor Packer,[143] Lloyd Turner,[144] Michael Maltese, John Liggera,[145] Tony Strobl, Veve Risto, Cecil Beard, Pete Alvorado, Carl Fallberg, Cal Howard, Vic Lockman, Lynn Karp, Pete Llanuza, Pete Hansen, Jack Carey, Del Connell, Kellog Adams, Jack Manning, Mark Evanier, Tom McKimson, Joe Messerli, Carlos Garzon, Donald F. Glut, Sealtiel Alatriste, Sandro Costa, and Massimo Fechi.

The German publisher Condor published a 76-issues Bugs Bunny series (translated and reprinted from the American comics) in the mid-1970s. The Danish publisher Egmont Ehapa produced a weekly reprint series in the mid-1990s.

Comic strip

The Bugs Bunny comic strip ran for almost 50 years, from January 10, 1943, to December 30, 1990, syndicated by the Newspaper Enterprise Association. It started out as a Sunday page and added a daily strip on November 1, 1948.[146]

The strip originated with Chase Craig, who did the first five weeks before leaving for military service in World War II.[147] Roger Armstrong illustrated the strip from 1942 to 1944.[148] The creators most associated with the strip are writers Albert Stoffel (1947–1979)[149] & Carl Fallberg (1950–1969),[150] and artist Ralph Heimdahl, who worked on it from 1947 to 1979.[151] 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.[152][153]

Reception and legacy

Statue evoking Bugs Bunny at Butterfly Park Bangladesh.

Like Mickey Mouse for Disney, Bugs Bunny has served as the mascot for Warner Bros. and its various divisions. According to Guinness World Records, Bugs has appeared in more films (both short and feature-length) than any other cartoon character, and is the ninth most portrayed film personality in the world.[7] On December 10, 1985, Bugs became the second cartoon character (after Mickey) to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[8]

He also has been a pitchman for companies including Kool-Aid and Nike. His Nike commercials with Michael Jordan as «Hare Jordan» for the Air Jordan VII and VIII became precursors to Space Jam. As a result, he has spent time as an honorary member of Jordan Brand, including having Jordan’s Jumpman logo done in his image. In 2015, as part of the 30th anniversary 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’s equivalent inspired by Lola Bunny called the «Air Jordan Mid 1 Lola», along with a commercial featuring Bugs and Ahmad Rashad.[154]

In 2002, TV Guide compiled a list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time as part of the magazine’s 50th anniversary. Bugs Bunny was given the honor of number 1.[155][156] In a CNN broadcast on July 31, 2002, a TV Guide editor talked about the group that created the list. The editor also explained why Bugs pulled top billing: «His stock…has never gone down…Bugs is the best example…of the smart-aleck American comic. He not only is a great cartoon character, he’s a great comedian. He was written well. He was drawn beautifully. He has thrilled and made many generations laugh. He is tops.»[157] Some have noted that comedian Eric Andre is the nearest contemporary comedic equivalent to Bugs. They attribute this to, «their ability to constantly flip the script on their unwitting counterparts.»[158]

Language

The American use of Nimrod to mean «idiot» is often said to have originated from Bugs’s exclamation «What a Nimrod!» to describe the inept hunter Elmer Fudd.[159] However, it is Daffy Duck who refers to Fudd as «my little Nimrod» in the 1948 short «What Makes Daffy Duck»,[160] and the Oxford English Dictionary records earlier negative uses of the term «nimrod».[161]

Багз Банни — мультипликационный персонаж, созданный в конце 1930-х годов Leon Schlesinger Productions (позже Warner Bros.Cartoons ) и озвучивает, используем Мел Бланк. Багс наиболее известен своими главными ролями в сериалах Looney Tunes и Merrie Melodies анимационных короткометражных фильмов, продюсированных Warner Bros. Хотя похожий персонаж по имени Счастливый Кролик дебютировал в мультфильме WB «Охота на зайца Порки» (1938) и появился в нескольких короткометражках, широко известно, что главный персонаж «Багса» дебютировал в режиссере Фильм Текса Эйвери , номинированный на Оскар Дикий Заяц (1940).

Багз — антропоморфный серый и белый кролик или заяц, известный своей легкомысленной и беззаботной личностью. Он также показал бруклинским акцентом, его изображение как обманщиком и его крылатой фразой «Э… Как дела, док?». Благодаря Багса в золотой век американской мультипликации, он стал не только культурной иконой Америки и официальным талисманом Warner Bros. Развлечения, но также один из самых узнаваемых персонажей в мире. Таким образом, его можно увидеть в старых логотипах компании Warner Bros.

С момента своего дебюта Багс появился в более чем 150 мультфильмов, снятых между 1940 и 1964 годами. Он также снялся в художественных фильмах., сборники, телесериалы, музыкальные записи, комиксы, видеоигры, шоу с наградами, аттракционы и рекламные ролики.

Развитие

Изображение эволюции персонажа Багса на протяжении многих лет.

Согласно Чейза Крейгу, который написал и нарисовал первый комикс Багза Банни Воскресные страницы и первый комикс Багса , «Багс не был творением-то одного человека ; однако он скорее представляет творческие таланты, возможно, пяти или шести режиссеров. и многие авторы мультфильмов. В те времена, рассказывала о них и дорабатывала их на совместной конференции по рассказам ». Кролик с некоторыми чертами характера Багса, хотя и выглядел совсем иначе, был показан в фильме Охота на зайца Порки, выпущенный 30 апреля 1938 года. Его со-режиссером был Бен «Багс» Хардуэй и незарегистрированный Кэлтон (который отвечал за первоначальный дизайн кролика). Этот мультфильм имеет почти идентичный сюжет с «Утиной охотой» Эйвери Порки (1937), в которой представлена ​​Даффи Дак. Порки Свин снова изображается как охотник, выслеживающий глупую добычу, которая больше заинтересована в том, чтобы свести с ума своего преследователя Кролик представился странным выражением «Джиггеры, вальщики», и Мел Блан дал персонажу голосом и посмеялся, как те, которые он использовал позже для Вуди Дятла. Персонаж кролика был популярен среди зрителей, что сотрудники Termite Terrace решили использовать его снова. Согласно Фризу Фреленгу, Хардуэй и Далтон решили одеть утку в костюм У белого кролика была овальная голова и бесформенное те ло. По характеристике он был «деревенским шутом «. Он был громким, глупым, тупым, гортанным смехом. Блан дал ему голос сена.

Кролик возвращается в Perst-O Change-O (1939), режиссер Чак Джонс, где он домашним кроликом невидимого персонажа Волшебника Шам-Фу. Две собаки, спасаясь от местного ловца собак, входят в дом его отсутствующего хозяина. Кролик преследует их, но в итоге его побеждает более крупная из двух собак. Эта версия кролика была крутой, грациозной и управляемой. Он сохранил гортанный смех, но в остальном промолчал.

Третье появление кролика происходит в фильме Hare-um Scare-um (1939), снова режиссера Далтона и Хардуэя. Этот мультфильм — первый, в котором он изображен в виде серого кролика вместо белого, — также известен как первая певческая роль кролика. Чарли Торсон, ведущий аниматор фильма, далжу персона имя. Он написал «Кролик Багза» на листе модели, который нарисовал для Хардуэя. В рекламных материалах к мультфильму, включая сохранившуюся пресс-подборку 1939 года, имя на образце было изменено на собственное имя кролика: «Багз» Банни (до 1944 года использовались только кавычки).

В своей автобиографии Блан утверждал, что другое предложенное имя для персонажа было «Счастливый Кролик». Однако в реальных мультфильмах и рекламе имя «Хэппи», похоже, использовалось только в Багса Хардуэя. В Hare-um Scare-um заголовок газеты гласит: «Счастливого пути». Историк анимации Дэвид Герштейн оспаривает, что «Счастливый Кролик» когда-либо использовался в качестве официального названия, утверждая, что единственное использование этого терминала произошло от Мела Блана в юмористических и фантастических сказках, которые он рассказывал о развитии персонажа в 1970-1980-х годах; имя «Багз Банни» было использовано еще в августе 1939 года в Motion Picture Herald, в обзоре короткометражного фильма Hare-um Scare-um.

, к которому к Торсону обратился Тедд Пирс, глава отдела истории, попросил разработать кролика получше. На это решение повлиял опыт Торсона в конструировании зайцев. Он создал Макса Хэра в Возвращение черепахи Тоби (Дисней, 1936). Для Hardaway Торсон создал ранее упомянутую модель с шестью разными позами кролика. Образец Торсона — это «комическое изображение стереотипного пушистого кролика». У него было грушевидное туловище с выступающей задней части. Его лицо было большим, с выразительными глазами. У него была чрезмерно длинная шея, руки в перчатках с тремя пальцами, огромные ступни и «умная» ухмылка. На конечный результат повлияла тенденция Walt Disney Animation Studios рисовать животных в стиле милых младенцев. Он имел очевидное влияние Диснея, но выглядел как неуклюже влияние худощавого и обтекаемого Макса Хейра из Черепаха и Заяц (1935) и круглых мягких кроликов из Маленькой Гайаваты (1937).

В фильме Джонса «Скрытая камера» Элмера (1940) кролик впервые встречает Элмера Фадда. На этот раз кролик больше похож на современных Жуков, но с более примитивным голосом. Дизайн персонажей Элмера Candid Camera также отличается: лицо выше и пухлее, чем у современной модели, хотя голос персонажа Артура К. Брайана уже известен.

Официальный дебют

Первое появление Багса в Дикий Заяц (1940).

В то время как Охота на зайца Порки был первым мультфильмом Warner Bros. с изображением кролика, похожего на Багза Банни, Дикий Заяц, снятый режиссером Тексом Эйвери и выпущенный 27 июля 1940 года, широко считается первым официальным мультфильмом Багз Банни. Это первый фильм, в котором Элмер Фадд и Багз, оба переработанные Бобом Гивенсом, показаны в полностью их развернутых формах как охотник и мучитель соответственно; первая, в которой Мел Блан стандарт использует то, что сталоным голосом Багса; и первый, в котором Багс использует свою крылатую фразу: «Как дела, Док?» «Дикий Заяц» огромный успех в кинотеатрах и получил премию Оскар в номинации Лучший короткометражный мультфильм.

Для фильма Эвери попросил Гивенса переделать кролика. Результат был больше похож на Макса Хейра. У него было более удлиненное тело, он стоял более прямо и выглядел более уравновешенным. Если кролик Торсона выглядел как младенец, версия Гивенса выглядела как подросток. Блан дал Багсу голос городского пижона. Кролик был таким же дерзким, каким был в Hare-um Scare-um, таким же крутым и собранным, как в Perst-O Change-O.

Сразу вслед за A Wild Hare, Боб Клампетт <291 В фильме «Пациент Порки (1940)» эпизодическое появление от Багса объявляет аудиторию, что родилось 750 кроликов. Кляп использует визуальный дизайн Дикого Зайца Багса, но его голосовую характеристику до Дикого Зайца глупее.

Вторая полноценная роль для зрелых Багов, Чак Джонс ‘Домашний кролик Элмера (1941), первое имя Багса на экране. : он появляется на заглавной карточке «с участием Багза Банни» в начале фильма (который был отредактирован после успеха «Дикого зайца»). Однако голос и его дизайн также был немного изменен; Визуальный дизайн Багса основан на прототипе кролика из Candid Camera, но с желтыми перчатками и без зубцов, у него низкий голос, более агрессивный, высокомерный и бандитский характер, а не веселый характер. После «Домашнего Кролика» последующие появления Багов вернулись к норме: визуальный дизайн и индивидуальность Дикого Зайца вернулись, и Блан повторно использовал голосовую характеристику Дикого Зайца.

«Охота на кроликов» Гайаваты (1941), режиссер Фриз Фреленг, стал вторым мультфильмом «Багз Банни», получившим номинацию на премию «Оскар». Тот факт, что он не выиграл награду, позже был несколько подделан в Что такое Cookin ‘Doc? (1944), в котором Багс требует пересчета (утверждая, что он стал жертвой «са-бо -TAH-gee «) после потерь Оскара Джеймса Кэгни и представляет отрывок из «Охоты на кроликов» Гайаваты, чтобы доказать свою точку зрения.

Вторая мировая война

К 1942 году Багз стал звездой номер один в Merrie Melodies. Первоначально сериал был предназначен только для одноразовых персонажей в фильмах после того, как несколько первых попыток представить персонажей (Фокси, Гупи Гир и Пигги ) потерпели неудачу в Харман — Изинг. К середине 1930-х годов, под Леоном Шлезингером, Merrie Melodies начала ввода новых персонажей. Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid (1942) показывает небольшую переработку Bugs с менее выступающими передними зубами и более круглой головой. Персонаж был переработан Робертом МакКимсоном, затем аниматором в отряде Клампетта. Поначалу редизайн использовал только в фильмах, созданных группой Клампетта, но со временем его подхватили и другие режиссеры, в первую очередь Фреленг и Фрэнк Ташлин. Для фильма «Черепаха побеждает заяц» 1943 года он создал еще одну версию с более раскосыми глазами, более новыми зубами и большим ртом. Он использовал эту версию до 1949 года (как и Арт Дэвис в одном фильме о Багз Банни, который он снял, Бауэри Багз ), когда он начал использовать версию, которую он разработал для Клампетта. Джонсал свою небольшую модификацию, и голос имел небольшие различия между единицами. Багс также играл эпизодические роли в последнем мультфильме Эйвери Warner Bros., Сумасшедший круиз.

После дебюта Багса в «Диком Зайце» он появлялся только в цветных фильмах «Веселые мелодии» (что делает его одним из немногих повторяющихся персонажей, созданных) для этого сериала в эпоху Шлезингера до полного преобразования в цвет), наряду с предшественником Элмера, Эггхедом, Инки, Сниффлзом и самим Элмером. В то время как Багс эпизодическую роль в Porky Pig’s Feat (1943), это было его единственное появление в черно-белом фильме Looney Tunes. Он не снимался в фильмах Looney Tunes, пока эта серия не была полностью преобразована в цветные мультфильмы, начиная с 1944 года. Buckaroo Bugs был первым фильмом Bugs в серии Looney Tunes, а также последним фильмом Warner Bros. мультик, чтобы отдать должное Шлезингеру (так как он ушел на пенсию и продал свою студию Warner Bros. в том же году).

Популярность Багса возросла во время Второй мировой войны из-за его свободного и непринужденного отношения, и к 1943 году он начал получать специальные звёзды в своих мультфильмах. К тому времени Warner Bros. стала самой прибыльной мультипликационной студией в Штатах. Вместе с такими мультипликационными студиями, как Disney и Famous Studios, Warners противопоставили своих персонажей Адольфу Гитлеру, Бенито Муссолини, Франсиско Франко, и японский. Багз Банни Нипс Нипс (1944) показывает, что Багс находится в разладе с группой японских солдат. С тех пор этот мультфильм был изъят из распространения, так как на нем изображены японцы. Один ВМС США пропагандистский фильм, спасенный от разрушения, показывает голос Мела Бланка в «Горе Токио» (1945) о пропагандистском радиоведущем Tokyo Rose. Он также противостоит Герману Герингу и Гитлеру в фильме Herr Meets Hare (1945), в котором представлена ​​его известная ссылка на Альбукерке, поскольку он по ошибке оказывается в Шварцвальд из «Джоймани» вместо Лас-Вегас, Невада. Баги также появлялись в двухминутном рекламном фильме США военных облигаций 1942 года Any Bonds Today? вместе с Порки и Элмером.

В конце Супер-Кролик (1943) Багс появляется в синей форме Корпуса морских пехоты США. В результате Корпус морских пехоты сделал Багса почетным старшим сержантом морских пехоты . С 1943 по 1946 год Багс был официальным талисманом армейского аэродрома Кингмана, Кингмана, Аризона, где во время Второй мировой войны тренировались тысячи воздушных стрелков. Среди известных стажеров были Кларк Гейбл и Чарльз Бронсон. Багс также служил талисманом 530-й эскадрильи 380-й бомбардировочной группы 5-й воздушной армии, США. ВВС, которые были прикреплены к Королевским австралийским военно-воздушным силам и действовали за пределами Северной территории Австралии с 1943 по 1945 год на самолетах B-24 Liberator бомбардировщики. Жуки на торпедах с воздушной доставкой служили логотипом эскадрильи морской торпеды / бомбардировщика 242 во время Второй мировой войны. Кроме того, Баги появились на носу B-24J № 42-110157, как в 855-й бомбардировочной эскадрилье 491-й бомбардировочной группы (тяжелая), так и позже в 786-й BS 466-го BG (H), оба входившие в состав 8-го полка. Военно-воздушные силы из Англии.

В 1944 году Багс Банни эпизодическую роль в Джаспер идет на охоту, фильм Puppetoons, произведенный конкурирующей студией Paramount Pictures. В этой эпизодической роли (анимированной МакКимсоном, с Бланком, поддерживающим обычный голос), Багз (после угрозы оружием) выскакивает из кроличьей норы, произнося свою обычную крылатую фразу; услышав, как оркестр играет не ту песню, он понимает: «Эй, я ошибся в картинке!» а затем возвращается в яму. Багс также имеет эпизодическую роль в Рядовом Снафу короткометражке Газ, в котором он найден спрятанным в вещах титульного рядового; его единственная разговорная фраза — его обычная крылатая фраза.

Хотя обычно именно Порки Пиг завершает фильмы Looney Tunes своим заиканием: «Вот и все, ребята!», Багс заменил его в конце Hare Tonic и Baseball Bugs, пробивая барабан так же, как и Порки, но жуя морковь и говоря со своим бронкс-бруклинским акцентом: «И это конец!»

Послевоенная эпоха

После Второй мировой войны Багс продолжал появляться в кампаниях Warner Bros., в последний раз появившись в «Золотом веке» в Ложный Заяц (1964 г.). Он снялся в более чем 167 театральных короткометражных фильмах, большинство из которых были сняты Фризом Фреленгом, Робертом МакКимсоном и Чаком Джонсом. Knighty Knight Bugs (1958) Фреленга, в котором средневековый Багс обменивается ударами с Йосемити Сэмом и его огнедышащим драконом (который простужен), получил премию Оскар. за лучший короткометражный мультфильм (ставшим первым мультфильмом о Багз Банни, получившим указанную награду). Три фильма Джонса — Rabbit Fire, Rabbit Seasoning и Утка! Кролик, Утка! — составьте то, что часто называют трилогией «Сезон кроликов / Утиный сезон», и послужили соперничества между Багзом и Даффи Дак. В классическом фильме Джонса Что такое Opera, док? (1957) Багса и Элмера Фадда пародируют на Рихард Вагнер Кольцо нибелунгов. Он был признан «культурно значимым» Библиотекой Конгресса США и выбран для сохранения в Национальном реестре фильмов в 1992 году, став первым короткометражным мультфильмом, удостоенным этой награды.

Багз и Даффи Дак в открытии The Bugs Bunny Show (1960-2000).

Осенью 1960 года ABC дебютировали телепрограмма Шоу Багз Банни. Это шоу упаковало многие из мультфильмов Уорнерса после 1948 года с новыми анимированными обертками. По прошествии двух сезонов он был переведен с вечернего показа на повторные показы в субботу утром. Шоу Багз Банни часто меняло формат и точное название, но оставалось на сетевом телевидении в течение 40 лет. Позже упаковка была совершенно другой, каждый мультфильм просто представлялся отдельно, название и все остальное, хотя некоторые клипы из нового связующего материала иногда использовались в качестве наполнителя.

Позже

Баги сделали не появлялся ни в одном из фильмов Looney Tunes и Merrie Melodies после 1964 года, произведенных DePatie-Freleng Enterprises или Seven Arts Productions, а также не появлялся в Filmation ‘s Даффи Дак и Порки Пиг встречаются с классными тупицами. Однако он дважды появлялся в эпизодических эпизодах в 1974 г. Джо Адамсон короткометражный Политическая карикатура ; один в начале короткометражки, и другой, в котором он дает интервью в зоомагазине. В этом короткометражке Марк Кауслер оживил «Ошибки». Он не появлялся в новых материалах на экране снова до тех пор, пока Багз и Даффи «Карнавал животных» не показали в 1976 году.

С конца 1970-х до начала 1990-х, Багс был показан в различных анимационных фильмах. специальные предложения для сетевого телевидения, такие как Диета на День благодарения Багза Банни, Пасхальный выпуск Багза Банни, Веселые рождественские сказки Багза Банни и Bugs Bunny’s Bustin Out Во всем. За это время Багс также снялся в нескольких театральных сборниках, включая распространенный документальный фильм United Artists Багз Банни: Суперзвезда (1975) и Warner Bros. собственные релизы: The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Movie (1979), The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981), 3-й фильм Bugs Bunny’s: 1001 Rabbit Tales (1982) и Quackbusters Даффи Дака (1988).

В 1988 анимационном фильме комедии Кто подставил кролика Роджера Багс появился как один из жителей Мультяшного города. Однако, поскольку фильм производился Disney, Warner Bros. разрешили бы использовать свою самую большую звезду только в том случае, если бы он получил такое же количество экранного времени, что и самая большая звезда Disney, Микки Маус. Из-за этого оба персонажа всегда вместе в кадре на экране. «Кролик Роджер» был также одним из последних спектаклей, в которых Мел Блан озвучивал Багса (а также других персонажей Looney Tunes) перед своей смертью в 1989 году.

Позже Багс появился в другой анимационной постановке с участием множества персонажей из конкурирующих студий. : специальный телешоу 1990 года по профилактике наркомании Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. Этот специальный выпуск примечателен тем, что впервые кто-то, кроме Бланка, озвучил Багса и Даффи (для этого обоих персонажей озвучил Джефф Бергман ). Багс также появлялся в качестве гостя в телесериале начала 1990-х Tiny Toon Adventures, в качестве руководителя Acme Looniversity и наставника Babs and Buster Bunny. Он сделал дальнейшие эпизоды в Warner Bros. ‘ последующие анимационные сериалы Таз-мания, Animaniacs и Histeria!

Баги вернулись на серебряный экран в Box-Office Bunny (1991).). Это был первый с 1964 года мультфильм о Багз Банни, выпущенный в кинотеатрах, и он был создан к празднованию 50-летия Багза. За ним последовал мультфильм (Blooper) Bunny, который был снят с полок в кинотеатрах, но позже был показан на Cartoon Network в 1997 году и с тех пор завоевал культ среди поклонников анимации за его резкость. юмор.

В 1996 году Багс и другие персонажи Looney Tunes появились в анимационном фильме Space Jam режиссера Джо Пытки в главной роли NBA суперзвезда Майкл Джордан. В фильме также представлена ​​персонаж Лола Банни, которая становится новым любовным увлечением Багса. «Космический джем» получил неоднозначные отзывы критиков, но имел кассовые сборы (более 230 миллионов долларов по всему миру). Успех Space Jam привел к созданию еще одного анимационного фильма с живыми актерами, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, выпущенный в 2003 году режиссером Джо Данте. В отличие от Space Jam, Back in Action был кассовой бомбой, хотя и получил более положительные отзывы критиков.

В 1997 году ошибки появились на США. почтовая марка, первый мультфильм, удостоенный такой чести, победивший культового Микки Мауса. Марка занимает седьмое место в списке самых популярных марок США, если рассчитывать по количеству купленных, но неиспользованных марок. Появление жуков на марке было спорным в то время, поскольку считалось шагом к «коммерциализации» искусства марок. Почтовая служба отклонила многие дизайны и выбрала почтовый рисунок. Эйвери Деннисон напечатал марочный лист Bugs Bunny с «особым дизайном из десяти марок» и стал первым самоклеящимся сувенирным листом, выпущенным Почтовой службой США.»

За последние

Младшая версия Багса — главный герой Baby Looney Tunes, который дебютировал на Kids ‘WB в 2001 году. В боевике Loonatics Unleashed, его явный потомок, Эйс Банни, лидером команды Loonatics и, похоже, унаследовал бруклинский акцент и юмористический остроумие своего предка. 546>В 2011 году Багс Банни и остальные члены банды Looney Tunes вернулись на телевидение в ситкоме Cartoon Network The Looney Tunes Show. Персонажи в новом дизайне от художницы Джессики Боруцки. Среди изменений внешность ошибок заключалась в упрощении и увеличении его ступней, а также в изменении его шерсти с серого на оттенок лиловый (хотя во втором в сезоне его мех снова стал серым). В сериале Багс и Даффи Дак изображаются лучшими друзьями, а не соперниками, как обычно. В то же время Багса больше раздражают выходки Даффи в сериале (иногда до агрессии), чем его обычная беззаботная личность из оригинальных мультфильмов. Багс и Даффи — близкие друзья Порки Пиг в сериале, хотя Багс, как правило, более надежный друг Порки, чем Даффи. Багс также встречается с Лолой Банни в сериале, несмотря на то, что сначала он находит ее «сумасшедшей» и слишком разговорчивой (позже он учится принимать ее причуды личности, похожие на его терпимость к Даффи). В отличие от оригинальных мультфильмов, Багс живет в обычном доме, который он делит с Даффи, Тэзом (с которой он обращается как с собакой) и Спиди Гонсалесом, в середине тупик со своими соседями Йосемити Сэмом, бабушкой и ведьмой Хейзел.

В 2015 году Багз снялся в видеофильме Looney Tunes. : Rabbits Run, а позже снова вернулась на телевидение как звезда Cartoon Network и комедийного сериала Boomerang New Looney Tunes (ранее Wabbit).

Багс также появлялся во многих видеоиграх, в том числе в сериях «Сумасшедший замок Багз Банни», Багз Банни: «День рождения», Багз Банни : Буйство кроликов, Багз Банни в Double Trouble, Looney Tunes B-Ball, Looney Tunes Racing, Looney Tunes: Space Race, Bugs Bunny Lost in Time, Багз Банни и Taz Time Busters, Loons: The Fight for Fame, Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal, Скуби-Ду и Looney Tunes: Cartoon Universe, Looney Tunes Dash и Looney Tunes World of Mayhem.

Личность и крылатые фразы

«Некоторые люди называют меня дерзким и дерзким, но на самом деле я просто самоуверен. Ямут невозим, невозмутим, задумчив. Я играю хладнокровно, но могу разгорячиться. ошейник. И, прежде всего, я очень «знающий» персонаж. Я прекрасно понимаю, что появляюсь в мультфильме… И иногда я жую морковку по той же причине, что и в комиксе. жует сигару. Это избавляет меня от слишком быстрой спешки от последней шутки к следующей. И иногда я не действую, я реагирую. И я всегда отношусь к состязанию с моими преследователями как к «забавам и играм». Когда на мгновение мне кажется, что я загнан в угол или в ужасной опасности, и я кричу, не успокаивайтесь — это на самом деле большой обман. Посмотрим правде в глаза, Док. Я прочитал сценарий и уже знаю, чем он закончится. «

—Боб Клэмпетт о Багс Банни, написанный от первого лица.

Багс Банни представляет как умный и способный перехит почти, кто противостоит ему, включая Элмера Фадда, Йосемити Сэм, Тасманский дьявол, Марвин Марсианин, Уайл Э. Койот, Паутинка, Ведьма Хейзел, Рокки и Магси, Крушитель, Клювый канюк, Собака Уиллоуби, Граф Блад учетт, Даффи Дак и множество других. Единственный, кто постоянно побеждает Багса, — это Сесил Тертл, который побеждает Багса в трех короткометражках подряд, на мощках басни Эзопа Черепаха и Заяц. В редком повороте к злодею, Багс превращается в преступную жизнь в фильме 1949 года Мятежный кролик, когда он берет на себя все правительство Соединенных Штатов, разрушая памятники в попытке доказать, что он стоит больше, чем награда в два цента за награду. его голова; Пока ему удается увеличить награду до 1000000 долларов, все военные силы в конечном итоге захватывают Багса и отправляют его на Алькатрас.

Багс почти всегда побеждает в этих конфликтах, сюжетная схема повторяется в фильмах Looney Tunes режиссера Чак Джонс. Обеспокоенный тем, что зрители потеряли симпатию к агрессивному главному герою, который всегда побеждал, Джонс устроил так, чтобы антагонисты издевались, обманывали или угрожали Багсу, пока он занимался своим делом, оправдывая свои последующие выходки местью или самообманом. оборона. Он также известен тем, что ломал четвертую стену, «общаясь» с аудиторией, либо объясняя ситуация (например, «Будьте с вами через минуту, народ!»), Описывая кого-то аудиторию (например, «Злые, не так ли? »), Подсказывая историю (например,« Это происходит с ним на протяжении всего кадра, ребята »), объясняя, что одно из действий его антагонистов довело его до критической точки (« Конечно, вы понимаете, это означает войну » ». — строка заимствована из Граучо Маркс в Утиный суп и снова следующий в следующем фильме братьев Маркс Ночь в опере (1935)), признавая свое коварство по отношению к своим антагонистам («Разве я не мерзавец?» — фраза, заимствованная из Лу Костелло ) и т. Д. Этот стиль использовался и установлен Текс Эйвери.

Багс обычно пытается умиротворить своего антагониста и избежать конфликта, но, когда антагонист толкает его слишком далеко, Багс может использовать к аудитории и использовать свою крылатую фразу: «Конечно, вы понимаете, что это означает войну! » прежде чем он нанесет сокрушительный ответный удар. Как упоминалось ранее, эта строка была взята из Граучо Маркс. Багс воздавал должное Граучо и другими способами, например, время от времени перенимая его сутулую походку или злобноая брови (например, в Заяц-поднимающий волосы ), или иногда прямо имитируя себя (как в Slick Заяц ). Другие директора, такие как Фриз Фреленг, охарактеризовали Багса как альтруиста. Когда Багс встречает других успешных персонажей (таких как Сесил Черепаха в «Черепахе бьет заяц» или Гремлин в «Падающий заяц »), его самоуверенность становится недостатком.

Беспечная поза Багса, живая морковь, как объясняют Фреленг, Джонс и Боб Клэмпет, возникла в сцене из фильма Это случилось однажды ночью (1934)), в котором персонаж Кларка Гейбла Питер Уорн прислоняется к забору, быстро ест морковь и разговаривает с набитым ртом с персонажем Клодетт Кольбер. Эта сцена была хорошо известна, пока фильм был популярен, и зрители в то время, вероятно, признали поведение Багза Банни сатирой. По совпадению, в фильме также есть второстепенный персонаж, Оскар Шейпли, который обращается к Питеру Уорну как «Док», а Уорн упоминает воображаемого человека по имени «Багз Дули», чтобы напугать Шейпли.

«Как дела, Док?» это очень простая вещь. Это смешно только потому, что это связано с ситуацией. Это была сплошная реплика из Bugs Bunny. Это не было смешно. Чтобы выразиться в человеческих терминах, вы приходите поздно вечером с работы домой, вы подходите к воротам во дворе, вы проходите через ворота и поднимаетеесь в гостиную, дверь приоткрыта, и какой-то парень стреляет под вашу гостиную. Так что же вы делаете? Бежите, если у вас есть хоть немного здравого смысла, можно вызвать полицию. Но что, если вы подойдете, похлопаете его по плечу, посмотрите и скажете: «Как дела, Док?» Вам интересно, что он делает. Это вздор. Это не то, что вы говорите в такое время. Думаю, поэтому это забавно. Другими словами, он задает вполне законный вопрос в совершенно нелогичной ситуации ».

—Чак Джонс о крылатой фразе Багза Банни« Как дела, Док? »

За сценами жевания моркови обычно следят Багс. — известная крылатая фраза «Как дела, Док?», написанная режиссером Тексом Эйвери для своего первого фильма «Багз Банни» Дикий Заяц (1940). Позже Эйвери объяснил, что это было распространенным выражением в его родном Техасе, и что он не особо задумывался об этой фразе. Когда мультфильм впервые был показан в кинотеатрах, сцена «Как дела, Док?» вызвала чрезвычайно положительную реакцию публики. В результате сцена стала повторяющимся элементом в последующих мультфильмах. Фраза иногда менялась в зависимости от ситуации. Например, Багс говорит: «Как дела, собаки?» антагонистам в Заяц растет на Манхэттене : «Как дела, герцог?» ? «рыцарю в Рыцарь-кобыла-заяц и» Что случилось, чернослив? «старому Элмеру в Старый Серый Заяц. H Он может также поприветствовать Даффи фразой «Что случилось, Дак?». Он использовал одну вариацию «Что за хуйня, дружище?» только один раз в Падающий Заяц. Другой вариант используется в Looney Tunes: Back in Action, когда он встречает бластер с марсианином, вооруженным , и говорит: «Что случилось, Дарт ?»

В нескольких фильмах Чака Джонса в конце 1940-х и 1950-х гг. Изображены жуки, путешествующие по пересеченной местности (и, в некоторых случаях, межконтинентальной), рыть туннели, оказываясь в столь разных местах, как Барселона, Испания (Bully for Bugs ), Гималаи (Мерзкий снежный кролик ) и Антарктида (Холодный Заяц ) — все потому, что он «знал, что (он) должен был взять то, что осталось в Albukoikee.» Он впервые произносит эту фразу в Герр встречает Зайца (1945), когда появляется в Шварцвальде, карикатуре, которую сегодня редко можно увидеть из-за ее явно актуальной темы. Когда Герман Геринг говорит Багсу: «В« Черманах »нет Лас-Вегаса» и стреляет в Багса, Багс ныряет в его нору и говорит: «Joimany! Yipe!», Как Багс понимает, что он в тылу врага. Смущенный ответ на его «левый» комментарий также был закономерным. Например, когда он туннелирует в Шотландию в Мой кролик лежит над морем (1948), думая, что он направляется в La Brea Tar Pits в Лос-Анджелес, Калифорния., это дает еще один шанс для этнической шутки: «Therrre arrre no La Brrrea Tarrr Pits в Шотландии!» (на что Багз отвечает: «Шотландия !? Э… как дела, Мак-док?»). В паре подобных мультфильмов конца 1950-х / начала 1960-х также фигурирует Даффи Дак, путешествующий с Багами («Эй, погоди! С каких это пор Писмо-Бич находится внутри пещеры?»).

Актеры озвучивания

Ниже представлены различные вокалисты, которые озвучивали Багза Банни за последние 80 лет для Warner Bros. анимационные постановки:

Мел Блан

Мел Блан был оригинальным голосом Багса и озвучивал персонажа почти пять десятилетий.

Мел Блан озвучивал персонажа почти 50 лет, от Багса ‘ дебютировал в короткометражке 1940 года Дикий Заяц до смерти Бланка в 1989 году. Блан описал голос как комбинацию Бронкс и Бруклинского акцентов; однако Текс Эйвери утверждал, что он попросил Бланка придать персонажу не нью-йоркский акцент как таковой, а голос, подобный голосу актера Фрэнка МакХью, который часто появлялся в ролях второго плана в 1930-е годы, и голос которого можно описать как ирландцы из Нью-Йорка. Во втором мультфильме Багса Домашний кролик Элмера Блан создал совершенно новый голос для Багса, который звучал как Джимми Стюарт, но режиссеры решили, что предыдущий голос был лучше. Хотя самым известным персонажем Блана был кролик, поедающий морковь, его жевание было прервано диалогом. Были перепробованы различные заменители, такие как сельдерей, но ни один из них не звучал как морковь. Итак, для этого Из соображений целесообразности Блан жевал, а затем выплевывал кусочки моркови в плевательницу, вместо того, чтобы проглотить их, и продолжил диалог. Одна часто повторяющаяся история, которая восходит к 1940-м годам, заключается в том, что у Блана была аллергия на морковь, и ему приходилось выплевывать ее, чтобы свести к минимуму любую аллергическую реакцию, — но его автобиография не делает такого утверждения. Фактически, в интервью 1984 года с Тимом Лоусоном, соавтором книги «Магия голосов: кто есть кто из актеров озвучивания», Блан категорически отрицал наличие аллергии на морковь.
