The Spirit of Bugs is a 2028 American animated direct-to-video anthology film, produced and released by Warner Bros. Animation on December 23, 2028. It features clips from The Bugs Bunny Show, Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and Space Jam: A New Legacy, in the introductory scene, and some of the namesake character's shorts, including Rhapsody Rabbit, Rabbit Fire, Long-Haired Hare, Knighty Knight Bugs, 8-Ball Bunny, Hair-Raising Hare, What's Opera, Doc? and Carrotblanca.
The Framing devices are centered on Bugs Bunny and his friends hosting an event at which they present some of Bugs's greatest cartoons to an audience of other Looney Tune characters, using stock footage from The Bugs Bunny Show, Tiny Toon Adventures, Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and various Looney Tunes shorts. None of the shorts were shown with their original title cards, instead, the titles were shown on the corner of the screen, disappearing after a few seconds, with an exception for the final short, Carrotblanca.
