She is highly athletic (easily the best player after Michael Jordan himself). She is a tough-talking, no-nonsense woman (as displayed by her reactions to being called the term 'doll,' which she finds to be derogatory and highly offensive) who is extremely independent and self-reliant. Lola's personality is a combination of the Hawksian woman, tomboy, and femme fatale archetypes. Acting on these feelings, she kisses him near the film's end and becomes his girlfriend. Lola's basketball skills get her a spot on the Tune Squad, in which the Looney Tunes characters battle the villainous Monstars for their freedom, with help from Michael Jordan.Īlthough she initially turns down Bugs' advances, her feelings shift to affection after he saves her from a belly-flopping Pound, getting himself painfully squashed in the process (showing that he is willing to put himself in harm's way for her and genuinely cares for her). Lola is voiced by Kath Soucie in the film. She is shown with tan fur, blonde bangs, and wears a yellow tank-top, purple shorts and a matching purple rubber band on both ears like a ponytail. Lola first appeared in the 1996 film Space Jam. Eventually, the character was given the name Lola Bunny. Among proposed names there appeared such ones like Bunni Bunny, Lola Buni, Lola Rabbit, and even Daisy Lou. Probably from the very beginning they wanted to change her name as well. They probably took an earlier yellow version of Honey Bunny and updated her to a more modern look. However, some artists commented that she looks too much like Bugs in drag and they decided to change her look. In early sketches an athletic female bunny with a bow on her head is seen, wearing a dress referring to the flag of the United States of America. In this movie Honey Bunny was planned to be Bugs Bunny's female counterpart. In the mid-1990s, artists working for Warner Bros. In addition, she is highly athletic while also incredibly seductive in her behavior. She is a tough-talking, no-nonsense woman who is extremely independent and self-reliant. Bugs receives her grateful kiss during the game and kisses her back following its end, with Lola reacting in her own Tex Avery-style gag on libido. Lola is nearly injured by one of the opponents in the basketball game, and Bugs rescues her. The romantic subplot of the film concludes with a conventional resolution. So they ended up emphasizing her 'feminine attributes'. As Tony Cervone explained, the animators originally had in mind more 'tomboyish' traits for her but feared that she would appear 'too masculine'. Lola does have a feminist catchphrase, 'Don't ever call me doll', and her athleticism is not a typical feminine trait. This adds to the film a sub-plot typical for the romantic comedy of whether there will be a romance between Lola and Bugs. The effect serves to reduce Bugs and his fellow characters to stereotypical 'guys'. The scene is reminiscent of 'Wolfie' from Red Hot Riding Hood (1943), a character defined by his lust for females. First, Lola demonstrates her basketball skills, and then the film uses a Tex Avery-style gag concerning the libido of males: Bugs floats up the air and then crashes to the floor. In response, Bugs is instantly smitten, and several other male characters ogle at her. Lola has a 'curvaceous body', wears tight clothes, and poses seductively when she first appears on screen. Lola was created to serve as a romantic interest for Bugs. She has aqua-colored eyes and a slim hourglass figure. She is shown with tan fur, blonde bangs and wears a purple rubber band on both ears like a ponytail.

During the movie's tenure in the theaters, and for some time after that, Lola appeared on practically every merchandising item released by Warners or its licensees (whether or not they were tied into the movie). The film Space Jam (1996) introduced a new female rabbit character, Lola Bunny, who almost completely supplanted Honey as both a merchandising figure and Bugs' sweetheart.
