Randy Rabbit

Randy Rabbit  is an American animated sitcom created by Conner Jones that ran on The WB from 1996 to 2002. The series centers around the title character, an anthropomorphic rabbit, and his friends living their daily lives in the town of Forestville.

The idea for the series was conceived by Jones in 1994, sometime after founding his then-new company, Blue Dolphin Productions (now Spirit Animal Studios), and came up with the idea of creating a rabbit-like character which he named Randy, after a pet rabbit that one of his childhood friends used to own. He originally pitched an eight-minute pilot to ABC in July 1995, but they rejected it. He would later pitch the pilot to The WB and they greenlit it.

The series premiered on September 22, 1996 as The WB's first animated series made for prime time. It ran for a total of 132 episodes within 6 seasons, and it concluded its run on May 26, 2002. On August 9, 2002, a feature film based on the series, entitled The Randy Rabbit Movie, was released into theatres by Warner Bros. Pictures.

On October 7, 2020, Conner Jones announced that the series will return with new episodes on TBS and Cartoon Network, starting with a 25th anniversary special, which is titled The Return of Randy Rabbit, which premiered on May 24, 2021, and a seventh season which premiered on September 25, 2021.
