Lola's next appearance (sort of) was Loonatics Unleashed, an infamous Looney Tunes Spin-Off in which futuristic descendants of the original cast (including Lola's equivalent, Lexi Bunny) became Animesque Superheroes with Darker and Edgier character designs. Meanwhile, some fans followed the adult Lola's appearances in the Looney Tunes Comic-Book Adaptation from DC, where she began to make Bugs' Rascally Rabbit and Karmic Trickster traits her own. She proved divisive with fans: some enjoyed her strong, sassy You Go, Girl! personality others complained that she was too overly sexualized, a bit flat, and too Immune to Slapstick to fit in with the other Looney Tunes.Īfter a few years of blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos, Lola's next major animated role was Baby Looney Tunes, in which she was a budding athlete who was also the smartest and most sensible of the kids. Fanservice who is lusted after by several of the male toons, especially Bugs, who quickly makes her his Love Interest.

In Space Jam, Lola is both a confident Action Girl whose basketball skills impress Michael Jordan and a seductive, scantily-clad Ms. The creators decided to introduce a new character instead, and so Lola was born. They considered using Honey Bunny, who was part of the Expanded Universe but had never appeared in animation however, the designs were not accepted, with one animator believing that she looked like "Bugs in drag". The producers wanted to include a major female character who would resonate with (and sell merchandise to) contemporary girls, and none of the existing Looney women fit the bill. Lola was created during the planning stages of the 1996 film Space Jam. Although she wasn't created until decades after the shorts' classic era, she's the first new Looney Tune to catch on with the public since Speedy Gonzales, the Tasmanian Devil, and Witch Hazel in The '50s. Lola Bunny is the most famous female character in the Looney Tunes franchise, as well as half of an Official Couple with Bugs Bunny. Lola's Establishing Character Moment in Space Jam
