Case of the Missing Hare is a 1942 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Chuck Jones and starring Bugs Bunny. The title is a typical play on words, and although it suggests a mystery story, it bears no apparent relationship to the plot line. This is one of the few cartoons where Bugs Bunny does not say his catchphrase, "Eh, what's up, Doc?".
