Prest-O Change-O is a 1939 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, and first released on March 25, 1939, by Warner Bros. It is the second appearance of the manic white hare from Porky's Hare Hunt, and its only appearance in a color film. The next hare-based short film, Hare-um Scare-um (1939), would feature a gray hare more closely resembling the character it would develop into, Bugs Bunny. (The white hare would make one final appearance in 1940's Patient Porky.)
