Ain't he a stinker? Like many "official" anythings, it's only part of the story. Bugs evolved through a few shorts before this. But this one is official.
What's your favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon? I mean besides What's Opera, Doc? (1957) which was weirdly NOT nominated for an Oscar. Bugs' Oscar record goes like so (click links to watch shorts).
- A Wild Hare (1940) nominee
- Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt (1941) nominee
- Knighty Knight Bugs (1958) *winner*
