# What's Up, Doc? (1950 film)

What's Up, Doc? is a Looney Tunes cartoon released in 1950 to celebrate Bugs Bunny's 10th birthday that year, in which he recounts his life story to a reporter from the "Disassociated Press". Bugs talks about his birth, his rise to fame, the slow years, and how famous Vaudeville performer Elmer Fudd chooses him to be part of his act. Eventually the duo comes upon their classic formula of Hunter vs. Hare. The short also was the first to use the title card music which would continue to be used in Bugs Bunny's cartoons.
    Directed by Robert McKimson. Produced by Edward Selzer. (uncredited) Story by Warren Foster.
