A Wild Hare (1940) *****

The second pairing of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd is actually their first "true" cartoon, introducing their definitive screen personalities, dramatic situations and classic one-liners (including the immortal "what's up, doc?"). This Academy Award nominee is perhaps the most influencial cartoon ever made, firmly establishing the "high" Warner style of animation, recognizable for its screwball characters in wacky situations performing zany feats and acting crazy all the time. A true classic.
