HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUGS!

65 years ago on this day, Warner Bros. released a Merrie Melodies short called A Wild Hare. The zany wise-guy personality that the studio was slowly developing was finally nailed in this film by Tex Avery. A Wild Hare was recognized with an Academy Award nomination, launched a long running series of classic cartoons and created a beloved animation super star.

Happy Birthday Bugs!
