This is a great cartoon, but "Porky's Hare Hunt" (1938) is the first BB cartoon...followed by "Hare-um Scare-um" (1939), "Elmer's Candid Camera" (1940) and then "A Wild Hare (1940)."
This cartoon IS, indeed, the first time he was called "Bugs Bunny." It was also the first time he was less of a "hippity-hoppity" rabbit than he was in his 3 earlier movies and closer to the rabbit he is today which, of course, can only be credited to....Tex Avery.
This is Tex Avery's debut as Bugs' director, which literally catapulted this rabbit into his immense stardom! Yes, you can thank Tex Avery for making him the lovable icon/legend he is today!
I own this on silent reel-to-reel (with subtitles!). (8mm pre-recorded film in the 1960s was often silent! We've come a long way!)
