According to our Bugs Bunny article and one of the books it references (Bugs Bunny: Fifty Years and only One Grey Hare), A Wild Hare is indeed the first true Bugs Bunny cartoon. According the text and quotations of Robert McKimson and Friz Freleng in that book, the earlier cartoons really had little relation to Bugs Bunny at all, except that the name Bugs Bunny originally belonged to the rabbit in Hare-um Scare-um (actually, it was Bugs' Bunny at that time). So, we do have a reference to quote that supports A Wild Hare as the first Bugs Bunny cartoon.

What he might be getting at is that Elmer's Pet Rabbit is the first cartoon in which the Bunny is named on-screen. However, cartoon historians agree that A Wild Hare is the first appearance of Bugs Bunny fully formed. Tweety wasn't named in A Tale of Two Kitties, either, but it was Tweetie.
