Bugs Bunny is an Academy Award-winning fictional animated rabbit who appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated films produced by Warner Bros., and is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. According to his biography, he was "born" in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York and the product of many creators: Ben "Bugs" Hardaway (who created a prototypical version of Bugs Bunny in 1938's Porky's Hare Hunt), Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Robert McKimson (created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design), Chuck Jones, and Friz Freleng. According to Mel Blanc, his original voice actor, his accent is an equal blend of someone from the Bronx and someone from Brooklyn.
