A prototypical version of Bugs Bunny appeared in four cartoons before making his first official appearance in Tex Avery's ''A Wild Hare''. Several published first person accounts, encyclopedic references, and Warner Bros.' own published material describe the inception of the name and of the character. A model sheet by Charlie Thorson describes this prototype character as "Bugs' Bunny" (note the apostrophe) but in most of the cartoons the character is unnamed. Virgil Ross, the animator for ''A Wild Hare'' describes how the character came to be named in the interview published by ''Animato!'' magazine #19.〔http://bugshardaway.blogspot.com/2007/10/virgil-ross-interview-in-animato-19.html〕 Mel Blanc often told the story of the creation of the character and its name. He suggested that the character be named after the character's initial director, Ben "Bugs" Hardaway.〔http://bugshardaway.blogspot.com/2007/09/mel-blanc-interviews.html〕 Blanc's own book, ''That's Not All Folks'' published by Warner Books in 1989, describes the "tough little stinker" that was the eventual version of the redesigned character as directed by Tex Avery. Warner Brothers' own published descriptions of the creation of the character's name can be found in ''Animation Magazine'' published in 1990.〔http://bugshardaway.blogspot.com/2008/01/another-reference-to-hardaway-drawing.html〕 Therein it is described that the Hardaway unit's model sheet came to be known by fellow animators as "Bugs' Bunny". == Character Evolution == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Development of Bugs Bunny」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
