His Hare-Raising Tale is a 1951 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short, directed by Friz Freleng and written by Warren Foster.^[1] The short was released on August 11, 1951, and stars Bugs Bunny and his nephew Clyde Rabbit.^[2]

This cartoon consists primarily of clips from five previous cartoons: Baseball Bugs (1946); Stage Door Cartoon (1944); Rabbit Punch (1948); Falling Hare (1943); and Haredevil Hare (1948). Contrary to belief, Virgil Ross was the only animator to animate new material for the cartoon, meaning that the other animators listed are erroneous.
