Lola Bunny
First appearance	Space Jam (1996)
Voiced by	Kath Soucie (Space Jam, Tweety's High-Flying Adventure); Brit McKillip (Baby Looney Tunes) ; Kristen Wiig (The Looney Tunes Show)

Revision as of 01:21, 26 January 2013

Lola Bunny is a cartoon character from Warner Bros. Studios. She is a beautiful and sexy female anthropomorphic rabbit and has been established as having a romantic involvement with Bugs Bunny, as well as being his main love interest and girlfriend. She has tan fur, blonde bangs, and wears a yellow tank top, purple shorts and a matching rubber band on both ears like a ponytail. She has aqua colored eyes and she is 3'2" tall. Lola is voiced by Kath Soucie in her first appearance (in the 1996 American live-action/animated film Space Jam), and by Britt McKillip in the animated film Baby Looney Tunes.

Lola first appears in the film Space Jam, in which she is voiced by Kath Soucie. Lola's basketball skills got her a spot on the Toon Squad, in which the Looney Tunes characters battled the villainous Monstars for their freedom, with help from Michael Jordan. The Toon Squad was victorious, and Lola kindled a romance with Bugs. Although she had turned down his earlier advances, she saw him in a new light after he heroically saved her from injury by shoving her out of the path of a belly-flopping Monstar, getting himself painfully squashed. She thanks Bugs by giving him a kiss. At the end of the movie, they are officially a couple; when Michael Jordan tells Bugs to stay out of trouble, Bugs assures him he will (which prompts him to kiss Lola again). Lola excitedly cheers and pulls down a curtain, transitioning to the next scene of the movie.

An important personality trait of Lola is that she becomes very agitated and vengeful when she is referred to as "doll". This trait was originally taken from the character Barb Wire (played by Pamela Anderson]), who has the same reaction from being called "babe".

Subsequent Appearances

Following Space Jam, Lola has regularly appeared in solo stories in the monthly Looney Tunes comic published by DC Comics, and an infant version of her is among the regular characters of Baby Looney Tunes. Other appearances include her role as the reporter in the direct-to-video movie "Tweety's High-Flying Adventure" and as a playable character in the game Looney Tunes Racing, both released in 2000.

Lola Bunny was also featured in a webtoon on looneytunes.com, entitled "Dating Dos and Don'ts." During this webtoon, in the form of a fifties educational film, Bugs Bunny attempts to take Lola out on a date, but Elmer Fudd and Lola's disapproving dad (voiced by Tom Kenny) interfere. The short ends with Elmer crashing on top of Lola's dad, and Lola continuing to kiss Bugs passionately.

Lola has returned for "The Looney Tunes Show". In the show, Kristen Wiig lends her voice to the character.

-[[File:The-thing-dog-monster.jpg|250px|thumb|left|<center>The Dog</center>]]
-'''The Dog''' is the first, longest, and most famous of the transformations.
-Pursued by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian Norwegian] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter helicopter], an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaskan_Malamute Alaskan Malamute] makes its way into a research camp as the science station's crew looks on in confusion. Through reckless use of a thermite charge, the helicopter is destroyed and its pilot killed shortly after landing. The surviving passenger fires at the dog with a rifle, grazing [[George Bennings]], one of the researchers. The passenger is shot and killed by [[Garry (The Thing)|Garry]], the station commander. Not knowing what to make of the incident, the station crew adopts the dog.
-Unable to contact the outside world via hand radio, helicopter pilot [[R.J. MacReady]] and [[Copper (The Thing)|Copper]] risk a flight to the Norwegian camp to find it destroyed, its personnel missing or dead (some of them committed suicide). Finding evidence that the Norwegians had dug something out of the ice, the pair return to the station with the partially-burned remains of a hideous creature which bears some human features. An autopsy of the cadaver by [[Blair (The Thing)|Dr. Blair]] is inconclusive, save to find that the creature had what appeared to be a normal set of human internal organs.
-At Bennings' request, the station's dog-handler, [[Clark (The Thing)|Clark]] kennels the stray with the rest of the station's sled dogs. Noises from the kennel cause Clark to return, finding almost the entire sled team in the process of being assimilated by the stray dog, which has transformed into a monster. MacReady summons the crew to the kennel and orders [[Childs (The Thing)|Childs]] to incinerate the creature with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamethrower flamethrower].
-===Bennings===
-Bennings and [[Windows (The Thing)|Windows]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarantine quarantine] the remains of the dog-creature and the Norwegian cadaver in the storage room, but moments after leaving, strands of tentacle-like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinew sinew] emerged from the remains of the dog-creature and the Norwegian, and proceed to assimilate Bennings. The crew burns the Bennings replica before its transformation is complete.
-===Norris and The Spiderhead===
-'''The Spiderhead''' is the third and second most popular transformation.
-[[Fuchs (The Thing)|Fuchs]], attempting to continue Blair's research, goes missing shortly after a power failure. Fuchs' body is found severely burned, MacReady speculates that Fuchs used a flare to burn himself before The Thing could get to him. MacReady comes under suspicion when a scrap of torn shirt containing his name tag is found at the camp, and he is locked outside in a severe [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard blizzard]. Somehow finding his way back to camp without a guide line, MacReady breaks into a storage room and threatens the rest of the crew with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamite dynamite]. In the course of the standoff, [[Norris (The Thing)|Norris]] suffers a heart attack. When Copper attempts to revive him by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillation defibrillation], Norris' body transforms and kills Copper. Norris' head detaches from his body and the alien uses it in an attempt to escape as the others burn the body, leading MacReady to theorize that every piece of the alien is an individual animal with its own survival instinct. He then burns the head with his flamethrower.
-===Palmer===
-In an altercation that precedes a test proposed by MacReady, Clark in an act of mutiny tries to stab MacReady with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalpel scalpel], but is shot in the head and killed by MacReady in self-defense. The rest of the crew complies with the test; blood samples are drawn from each member of the team including Copper and Clark and jabbed with a hot wire to see whose blood will react defensively. Upon Realizing that Clark was not infected, Childs begins to threaten McReady as a killer. [[Palmer (The Thing)|Palmer]], the backup pilot, is unmasked as an imitation, and manages to kill Windows before being destroyed by MacReady with dynamite, who also torches Windows' body with a flamethrower as it begins to transform.
-===The Blairmonster===
-Confirming that MacReady, Childs, Garry, and [[Nauls (The Thing)|Nauls]] are still human, the surviving crew set out to the tool shed in order to administer the test to Blair, only to find that he has escaped by tunneling his way underground. They follow the path and discover that not only had Blair been assimilated, but he had been constructing a small flying vehicle of alien design underneath the tool shed in order to reach and infect the mainland. They return to the surface to witness Childs inexplicably abandoning his post at the main gate, followed by the facility losing power. Realizing that the creature now wants to freeze again so a future rescue team will find it, the remaining crew acknowledge that they will not survive and set about destroying the facility in hopes of killing the creature. While setting explosives in the underground generator room, Garry is killed by the infected Blair. Nauls follows the sounds of the creature and is never seen again. The only indication of Nauls' fate is sealed by a lone noise MacReady hears from the other underground chamber. Alone, MacReady prepares to detonate the charges when The Thing, larger than ever, emerges from beneath the floor. MacReady attacks it with a stick of dynamite, which sets off the rest of the charges and destroys the entire facility.
