===21st century=== A younger version of Bugs is the main character of ''[[Baby Looney Tunes]]'', which debuted on [[Kids' WB]] in 2001. In the action-comedy ''[[Loonatics Unleashed]]'', his definite descendant Ace Bunny is the leader of the Loonatics team and seems to have inherited his ancestor's Brooklyn accent and rapier wit.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/06/arts/television/06loon.html |title=It's 2772.

The characters feature new designs by artist Jessica Borutski. Among the changes to Bugs' appearance were the simplification and enlargement of his feet, as well as a change to his fur from gray to a shade of [[mauve]] (though in the second season, his fur was changed back to gray).<ref>[http://jessicaborutski.blogspot.com/2010/04/yes-i-can-finally-blog-about-my.html Yes!!

At the same time, Bugs is more vocally exasperated by Daffy's antics in the series (sometimes to the point of anger), compared to his usual level-headed personality from the original cartoons. Bugs and Daffy are friends with Porky Pig in the series, although Bugs tends to be a better friend to Porky than Daffy is. Bugs also dates Lola Bunny in the show despite the fact that he finds her to be "crazy" and a bit too talkative at first (he later learns to accept her personality quirks, similar to his tolerance for Daffy). Unlike the original cartoons, Bugs lives in a regular home which he shares with Daffy, [[Tasmanian Devil (Looney Tunes)|Taz]] (whom he treats as a pet dog) and [[Speedy Gonzales]], in the middle of a [[cul-de-sac]] with their neighbors Yosemite Sam, [[Granny (Looney Tunes)|Granny]], and [[Witch Hazel (Looney Tunes)|Witch Hazel]]. In 2015, Bugs starred in the direct-to-video film ''[[Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run]]'',<ref>{{cite web|last1=King|first1=Darryn|title=Bugs Bunny to Return in Direct-to-Video 'Rabbits Run'|url=http://www.cartoonbrew.com/dvd/bugs-bunny-to-return-in-direct-to-video-rabbits-run-112739.html|publisher=Cartoon Brew|access-date=May 5, 2015|date=May 5, 2015|archive-date=October 21, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021232050/https://www.cartoonbrew.com/dvd/bugs-bunny-to-return-in-direct-to-video-rabbits-run-112739.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and later returned to television yet again as the star of Cartoon Network and [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]]'s comedy series ''[[New Looney Tunes]]'' (formerly ''Wabbit'').<ref name=WabbitVariety>{{cite news|last=Steinberg|first=Brian|title=Cartoon Network To Launch First Mini-Series, New Takes on Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cartoon-network-to-launch-first-mini-series-new-takes-on-tom-jerry-bugs-bunny-1201128603/|work=Variety.com|publisher=Variety Media, LLC|access-date=March 13, 2014|date=March 10, 2014|archive-date=March 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311140254/http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cartoon-network-to-launch-first-mini-series-new-takes-on-tom-jerry-bugs-bunny-1201128603/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/bugs-bunny-scooby-doo-boomerang-1201530384/|title=Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo Return in New Shows to Boost Boomerang|first=Brian|last=Steinberg|date=June 29, 2015|access-date=December 13, 2017|archive-date=December 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171222105254/https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/bugs-bunny-scooby-doo-boomerang-1201530384/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[File:Bugs Bunny in MultiVersus trailer.png|thumb|A [[3D computer graphics|3D]] rendition of Bugs in the trailer of [[MultiVersus]].]] In 2020, Bugs began appearing on the [[HBO Max]] streaming series ''[[Looney Tunes Cartoons]]''. His design for this series primarily resembles his Bob Clampett days, complete with yellow gloves and his signature carrot. His personality is a combination of Freleng's trickery, Clampett's defiance, and Jonesβ resilience, while also maintaining his confident, insolent, smooth-talking demeanor. Bugs is voiced by [[Eric Bauza]], who is also the current voice of [[Daffy Duck]] and [[Tweety]], among others.<ref>{{cite web |last=Porter |first=Rick |title='Looney Tunes' Update, Hanna-Barbera Series Set at HBO Max |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/looney-tunes-update-hanna-barbera-series-set-at-hbo-max-1250825 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=October 29, 2019 |access-date=November 16, 2020 |archive-date=October 30, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191030002637/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/looney-tunes-update-hanna-barbera-series-set-at-hbo-max-1250825 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2020, the [[USPS]] issued a new set of Bugs [[Postage stamp | stamps]].
