Buster and Babs Bunny and Daffy Duck

On Friday, July 22, 2022, the “That’s NOT All, Folks! Looney Tunes for Everyone!” panel took place in the Indigo Ballroom at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. The Looney Tunes panel was sponsored by Warner Bros. and featured moderator Eric Bauza (who voices characters including Bugs Bunny, Tweety, and Daffy Duck) with panelists Alex Kirwan (Looney Tunes Cartoons Supervising Producer), Abe Audish (Bugs Bunny Builders Supervising Producer), and Nate Cast and Erin Gibson (Tiny Toons Looniversity Co-Executive Producers).

Ashleigh Crystal Hairston Is the New Babs Bunny

The big news out of yesterday’s Looney Tunes panel was the introduction of the new voice for Barbara Anne “Babs” Bunny, first introduced as the main character in the WB animated series Tiny Toon Adventures along with her bestie Buster Babs. The great Tress MacNeille first voiced the adorable pink and white bunny. Taking over as the new voice of Babs Bunny in Tiny Toons Looniversity is Ashleigh Crystal Hairston (Craig of the CreekAvengers Assemble).

King Tweety’s New Groove

WB also announced yesterday that the fifth Looney Tunes direct-to-video film released on June 14, 2022, King Tweety, would arrive on Cartoon Network on November 19, 2022. In King Tweety, Tweety (voiced by Bauza) unexpectedly becomes next in line for the crown when the island queen disappears. His entourage includes Sylvester the Cat (also voiced by Bauza) and the motorbike daredevil Granny (voiced by Candi Milo); however, their allegiance is tested when they uncover a plot to eliminate Tweety for good.

Looney Tunes for Preschoolers: Bugs Bunny Builders

And that’s not all, folx! WB also released the first look at an entire episode of Bugs Bunny Builders, titled “Splash Zone,” on Cartoonito’s YouTube. The preschool series will arrive on Cartoon Network’s Cartoonito block on July 25, 2022, and on HBO Max on July 26, 2022.

In Bugs Bunny Builders, Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny manage an inept crew of builders at ACME Construction Company. The show description states, “By working together as a team, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, and others use their tools and wild vehicles to pull off some of the looniest construction jobs ever.”
