Wabbit (stylized as wabbit. and known also as bugs! in parts of Europe, the Middle East and Japan) is an American animated television series from Warner Bros. Animation. The series premiered on September 21, 2015, on Cartoon Network,[2][3] and later premiered on October 5, 2015, on Boomerang.

On March 7, 2017, Turner and Warner Bros. announced that the unaired episodes will be released on Boomerang's SVOD service. [4]

Plot

Squeaks and Bugs, as drawn in a promotional still.[note 1]

In Wabbit, the Looney Tunes return to their slapstick-comedy roots. Each episode contains two shorts, starring Bugs Bunny as the main character.

Other Looney Tunes characters such as Wile E. Coyote and Yosemite Sam, show up to annoy him. Some characters are given new traits: Wile E. Coyote, for example, is Bugs' smart-aleck neighbor (akin to Wile E.'s previous outings with the rabbit), Yosemite Sam has a pudgy appearance and a larger mustache, and the Tasmanian Devil (renamed "Theodore Tasmanian") is employed as an accountant, though he represses his true self.[6]

Added in are new characters who come to befriend Bugs, such as Squeaks the Squirrel and a childlike version of Bigfoot.

Likewise, Bugs faces new villains, but not without the help of his friends.[7] Bugs faces off against ninjas, barbarians, terminators, and a rabbit version of the Grim Reaper named Carl the Grim Rabbit.

Production

Wabbit was announced in March 2014, along with other reboots of Warner Bros. classics, such as Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! and The Tom and Jerry Show.[8] Sam Register, promoted to president of Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Digital Series a month prior, will be the series supervising producer.[9]

The show was previewed in an article from a Comic-Con edition of TV Guide,[10] stating that the show was written to match the tone of the Looney Tunes shorts. However, the producers sought to avoid their clichés—in particular, the anvil gag. The crew placed their emphasis on writing original stories, as well as devising "modern heavy objects to cause pain", according to producer Erik Kuska. Bugs' villains may include "barbarians and ninjas and terminators", Kuska said, describing Bugs as "at his best when he's up against a really good adversary". In this way, Kuska felt Elmer Fudd may not be "the man" anymore.[6]

The animation was done by Yearim and Rough Draft Studios from South Korea and Snipple Animation from the Philippines.
