On this day in history, July 27, 1940, Bugs Bunny, now an iconic pop culture cartoon character, debuted in the short animated film "A Wild Hare," released by Warner Brothers.
The basic plot of "A Wild Hare" chronicles Elmer Fudd's fruitless pursuit of the much smarter Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny was conceived at Leon Schlesinger’s animation unit at Warner Brothers studios. Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
Elmer Fudd peers down rabbit holes, taunts Bugs with carrots and tries (unsuccessfully) to catch him.
