Hare Brush is a 1955 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng.^[1] The short was released on May 7, 1955, and stars Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.^[2]

Hare Brush pokes fun at Freudian psychoanalysis, psychiatric medication, hypnosis, and the cliches of other Bugs Bunny shorts. Along with What's Opera, Doc? and Rabbit Rampage, it is one of the few cartoons where Elmer gets the upper hand on Bugs. It is also the first short in the Merrie Melodies series to open with Milt Franklyn's re-arranged version of "Merrily We Roll Along"; the new fanfare would stay in use until 1964.
