Elmer's Pet Rabbit is a 1940 Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Elmer Fudd and, ostensibly, Bugs Bunny. The short was released on January 4, 1941. It is the first cartoon in which the name Bugs Bunny is given (on a title card, slapped onto the end of the opening title sequence when A Wild Hare hit big), but the rabbit is also somewhat the same as the one seen and heard in Elmer's Candid Camera and other pre-Bugs shorts. It was directed by the legendary Chuck Jones, written by Rich Hogan, animated by Rudy Larriva, and the music was directed by Carl Stalling. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger and the sound effects were by audio wizard Treg Brown, inexplicably credited, as he usually was on these cartoons, as film editor.

Trivia
- Accepting the billing at face value, this is the first cartoon in which Bugs Bunny quotes the famous Groucho Marx line, "Of course you realize this means war!" (not counting Porky's Hare Hunt in which his prototype, the early but not officially developed Bugs, quoted it).
- This is officially the second cartoon for Bugs and the 23rd cartoon that Chuck Jones directed.
