Bunnicula is joining Cartoon Network’s Saturday morning line-up, which also includes The Tom and Jerry Show; Wabbit; and Be Cool, Scooby Doo! Bunnicula was developed by Wabbit‘s Jessica Borutski. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy‘s creator, Maxwell Atoms (a.k.a. Adam Burton), is also attached to the project.
Based on the Bunnicula children’s book series by James Howe, the Bunnicula TV show features a vampire bunny who drains the juice out of veggies and gets up to supernatural hi-jinx, much to the consternation of Chester the cautious cat.

I have only seen one episode but I have a feeling, it’s only going to get better. It’s beautiful to watch, the characters are funny and heartfelt, most of all, Chris Kattan is brilliant as the voice of ‘Bunnicula.’ I hope it stays on for decades. Incredible job to the entire team and bravo to Warner Bros! This is what happens when you use your brains!!!
Hope Howie is in the new series.
I hope Howie the puppy is in this, he was my favorite character 🙂
