Bugs Bunny Costumes

Bugs Bunny has been around for over 70 years, continuing to delight fans with his irreverent attitude toward life's various circumstances; not taking life or difficult challenges too seriously.

Over the years Bugs Bunny has also evolved into a comedian in his own right, becoming one of the most beloved and recognized cartoon characters in the world. His popularity has never waned over the decades he has been around.

That of course lends itself to great material for a Halloween or themed party costume, providing great material - not only in looks, but in one-liners that can be used to complement dressing up like the famous rabbit.

In this article we'll look at several Bugs Bunny costumes to show how he has been interpreted by those recreating the "rascally rabbit."

Most people choose to acquire or make a costume that is close in appearance to the real Bugs Bunny look.

That said, the one thing that can differentiate a little is the way the ears are made. Almost all the eyes, with very few exceptions, look the same.

As for the ears of the Bugs Bunny costume, some can point straight up, others droop or point to the side, and still others will droop to the front.

All of those wearing a Bugs costume include the white, furry stomach of the rabbit.

For those wanting to portray and even more realistic Bugs, be sure to practice some of his sayings like, "Eh... What's up, doc?," or others that would be known to his fans.
