March 23, 1946 –

The last Merrie Melodies title Frank Tashlin directed (before switching to become a live action director,) Hare Remover, starring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, opened on this date.
This was the second of only two Bugs Bunny cartoons directed by Frank Tashlin; the other being The Unruly Hare. Frank Tashlin is uncredited because he had left the studio before the short debuted, and Warner Bros. had a rule at the time that former employees couldn’t be credited.
