Template:Short description This is a list of the various animated cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny. He starred in over 160 theatrical animated short films of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. He was voiced by vocal artist Mel Blanc, and in later years he was voiced by other vocal artists such as Jeff Bergman, Billy West and Eric Bauza. Also listed are the cartoons featuring the earlier character that evolved into Bugs Bunny, as well as those produced after the golden age of American animation. Template:TOC right
