About[]
Wabbit- A Looney Tunes Production (or simply Wabbit.), is a Warner Bros. Animationseries starring the eponymous Looney Tunes character.
The show features a Sketch Comedy format of various segmented shorts, this time adding brand-new looney friends and enemies to the established ones, such as Bigfoot and Squeaks the Squirrel. Some of the established Tunes are altered in some way, such as Wile E. Coyote, who adopted his arrogant "super genius" persona (from cartoons such as Operation: Rabbit and Rabbits Feat where he spoke).
Wabbit was created in response to the sitcom nature of its predecessor, The Looney Tunes Show, not living up to the reaction Warner Bros. had expected for it in-spite of the show having performed well initially. After the more experimental nature of recent Looney Tunes television shows, and in response to The Looney Tunes Show, it was promised that this series would see the characters return to their original, wacky selves.
Even though it was slated for a premiere on Boomerang on October 5, 2015, it aired on Cartoon Network first as a sneak preview starting September 21, 2015. Ironically, Wabbit was originally considered for Cartoon Network.
As for its name (which should not be confused with the original cartoons with either the same word or just "rabbit" in the title, such as Duck! Rabbit! Duck!), it came from Elmer Fudd's famous title for Bugs' species under his speech impediment. Ironically, Elmer did not appear when the series first aired but, over the course of the show's first 52-episode season he note and other classic Looney Tunes characters started popping up. As a result, the series was retooled in its second season as New Looney Tunes, now featuring segments starring the other lovable characters.
In January 2018, producer Matt Craig announced on Facebook that the show would not be renewed for a fourth season due to them having already produced so many unaired episodes. Instead, Warner Bros. Animation announced production of an upcoming creator and cartoonist-driven revival (not unlike the What A Cartoon! Show or Oh Yeah! Cartoons) simply titled Looney Tunes Cartoons.
