Who created Bugs Bunny?
Most animation historians credit Tex Avery for his 1940 film “A Wild Hare”. While there had been a grey rabbit in several earlier films, Avery was the first to feature a confident, wise-cracking rabbit. It was also the first time Bugs said “What’s Up, Doc?”. Other directors, particularly Bob Clampett, Robert McKimson, Friz Freleng and Chuck Jones did much to develop Bugs Bunny’s character throughout the following two decades.
