The carrot-chomping smart aleck is making a comeback - as a futuristic, slimmed-down superhero.
The extreme makeover also revamps Bugs' buddies Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Tasmanian Devil and Wile E. Coyote in an attempt to charm young audiences with old favorites. But the changes have Looney Tunes fans hopping mad.

Great Googlymoogly.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Maybe it's early but it took me a long time to figure out what that picture was "extreme" bugs..jeesh. I love Bugs Bunny, this is sad, I'm sure like "new coke" it'll crash and burn..

Garbage - not a character at all, no personality - just another excuse to sell action figures, gameboy games, and other merchandise.
Why don't they put some talent into the stories and animation instead of the marketing? This is the same kind of thinking that won't allow Hollywood to make decent movies.
I bet they fixed Daffy's speech impediment too.

The "wabbit" on the left is the one I know and love; I have no idea WHAT that thing on the right is supposed to be. If Warner Brothers is stupid enough to call it "Bugs Bunny" they will infuriate every fan over the age of about three for false advertising.

I'm not suprised. WB "sanitized" all of the old classic Looney Toons years ago of all cartoon violence, stereotyping, and associated un-PC behavior. Shockingly, they're not funny anymore. 8^(

Why are we copying Japan? Aren't they supposed to copy us!?
I showed this Bugs to my 5 year old son, and he said "what is that". You're right now character!

Why don't they just give him a skateboard and sunglasses while they're at it.
To: mimmson
Wow, just call him Poke-Bugs.
Anime has taken over.
This is truly pathetic.

I really don't know whether I should laugh or cry. It's a very funny statement, but sadly, it's probably true.
