Happy 80th Birthday Bugs Bunny!
TikTok Challenge, "Looney Tunes Cartoons" on HBO Max and More
The most famous cartoon rabbit is turning 80 in style this July 27, through exclusive fan experiences, first-ever brand partnerships, an HBO Max birthday takeover and limited-edition releases commemorating the impact of this cultural icon - all meant to delight his most devoted fans while introducing the beloved character to a new generation of families!
TIKTOK CHALLENGE
We're celebrating 80 years of Bugs Bunny with a TikTok challenge that gets everyone showing off their own rendition of Bugs' iconic catchphrase: "What’s up Doc?"
Bugs has shown us how to outsmart any adversary and overcome any challenge, with irreverence exuberance and lots of laughs. And let’s face it, there is a little bit of Bugs in all of us – so don't be shy, make your impersonation your own and give the #WhatsUpDocChallenge your best shot!
Providing some inspiration was veteran voice actor Eric Bauza, who currently voices Bugs Bunny in HBO Max's "Looney Tunes Cartoons." TikTok users also have the option to mimic the famous Looney Tunes theme song.
Don't have TikTok? No worries! You can also post a video of your impersonation to Instagram and tag @LooneyTunes.

ABOUT BUGS BUNNY
Bugs Bunny first graced the big screen in Tex Avery's 1940 classic, "A Wild Hare," quickly becoming a pop culture idol thanks to his endearing, ageless appeal. His cunning street smarts and unflappable demeanor skyrocketed the star power of the bunny from Brooklyn, not just within the United States, but across the globe. Since walking onto the screen, Bugs Bunny has lent his likeness across mediums, including cherished children’s books and comic strips, an academy award-winning cartoon series, action-packed video games, and widely merchandised consumer products, ranging from toys and apparel to jewelry and home goods.
