Bugs Bunny is a fictional main character who starred in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, which became Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1944.[1] Bugs starred in 163 shorts during the Golden Age of American animation, and made cameos in three others along with a few appearances in non-animated films. He is an anthropomorphic hare or rabbit.

His third appearance is in another 1939 cartoon, Hare-um Scare-um, directed by Dalton and Hardaway. This short, the first where he is depicted as a gray bunny instead of a white one, is also notable for the rabbit's first singing role. Charlie Thorson, lead animator on the short, gave the character a name. He had written Bugs' Bunny on the model sheet that he drew for Hardaway, implying that he considered the rabbit model sheet to be Hardaway's property.[2][3] In promotional material for the short, 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 at the very beginning).[4] In his later years, Mel Blanc stated that a proposed name was Happy Rabbit .[5] Oddly, Happy was only used in reference to Bugs Hardaway. In the cartoon Hare-um Scare-um, a newspaper headline reads, Happy Hardaway .[6]
