Trivia:
There are at least two conflicting stories as to who came up with the "What's up, Doc?" line. Tex Avery claimed that he based the line on an expression used by his friends in Texas. However, Mel Blanc claimed that it was an ad-lib that he came up with while recording the dialogue. moreQuotes:

Not as good as Whats Opera Doc or Rabbit of Seville but A Wild Hare is still fun to watch. Tex Avery puts in Bugs Bunny as we know him today and "Ehhh What's Up Doc?" and becomes one of the most famous cartoon characters in the world. Of course Tex Avery was a good animation director but he was soon to bid farewell Warner Brothers to go to MGM so Chuck Jones went on to make Bugs Bunny's best know films.
Fun to Watch!
