Wabbit (stylized as wabbit. and known also as bugs! in parts of Europe) is an American animated television series from Warner Bros. Animation. It premiered on September 21, 2015, on Cartoon Network, and later premiered on October 5, 2015, on Boomerang.

Plot

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

Other 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 while the Tasmanian Devil (renamed "Theodore Tasmanian") is employed as an accountant, though he represses his true self.

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

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