Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers' reaction to the gag of Bugs responding to a hunter pointing a gun at him with a confident casual remark, "What's up, Doc?" was so favorable that they decided to make that a standard element of future films featuring the character.
- GoofsWhen Elmer pulls a carrot out of his pocket, it has a single stem with no leafy material. He then lays it down by Bug's hole and creeps away to hide behind a tree. But when Bugs sticks his hand out to get the carrot, it has several stems and a lot of leafy material.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Elmer Fudd: [first occurence of this line] Be vewy, vewy qwiet. I'm hunting wabbits.
- Crazy creditsIn the 1944 Blue Ribbon reissue of this cartoon, when the WB shield zooms in the copyright notice briefly says MCMXLIV(1944) for a fraction of a second before changing to MCMXL(1940)!
- Alternate versionsWhen the cartoon was re-released as a Blue Ribbon re-issue, it was inadvertently retitled "The Wild Hare." Also, one of the names Elmer Fudd guesses was changed from Carole Lombard, who had recently died in a plane crash, to Barbara Stanwyck.

Featured review
One of my favorite cartoons
This is my third favorite cartoon, only beat by Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers and Duck Amuck. It manages to feel newer than the shorts where Elmer is fat, due to having Elmer's final design. It also has value that makes this based, introducing Bugs.
