A Bugs Bunny Celebration, a one-hour original special celebrating Bugs Bunny. A passionate champion of classic animation, Bauza is featured prominently throughout the special, sharing his unique perspective and deep appreciation for the iconic character and his timeless appeal. The special presentation airs Saturday, October 31 at 7pm ET/PT on MeTV Toons, followed by Bugs Bunny and Friends at 8pm with featured episodes “Pre-hysterical Hare,” “Birds Anonymous,” “One Froggy Evening,” Fast and Furry-ous” and more. 

“Eric Bauza’s undeniable talent brought new life to voices generations have loved. His talent, humor, and deep respect for the art form helped ensure that the magic of classic animation continued to resonate across generations. While his passing is an enormous loss to the animation community, the joy he brought to audiences through these beloved characters will forever continue and always remind us of him. 

Eric was so supportive of our efforts with MeTV Toons as well as MeTV’s daily cartoon morning show, Toon in with Me. He went above and beyond for us, with his warmth and wit and talent to rival Mel Blanc. We mourn the loss of our dear friend.”
