The characters of Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run in order:

    open/close all folders 

     Lola Bunny 

     Bugs Bunny 
  • Butt-Monkey: Bugs fills the role. In a few scenes, he faces the brunt of a lot of slapstick.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Bugs wears a rather dashing polo shirt.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Bugs is a lot more cynical in this movie, though it's understandable due to his rabbit hole being destroyed to make room for a skyrise. He gets better at the end, though.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Bugs does this yet again when he and Lola both pose as female flight attendants. Lola lampshades it.

     Cecil Turtle 
  • Adaptational Villainy: While Cecil was never the nicest character in the cartoons, he's usually nothing more than an insufferable Jerkass. In this movie, however, he's a straight up villain.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Played with for laughs. Cecil doesn't necessarily have a problem with hurting people per se, but he came onto his job expecting not to and since it's pretty illegal to eliminate people and destroy the Earth he would really rather get paid a lot more for it than he is. His stint of Bond Villain Stupidity is also because he doesn't have the heart to stick around to and see someone get killed in a Death Trap.

     Elmer Fudd 
  • Adaptational Heroism: He's only after the rabbits because they possess the ultimate weapon, and he lets them go when the invisibility serum is (seemingly) destroyed, believing mankind wasn't ready for that kind of power.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: Elmer wears a snappy black suit and bowler hat instead of his iconic hunting outfit. Cecil's henchmen also dress this way (minus the hat) while in disguise.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Elmer Fudd, notorious for his inability to catch Bugs, is now a tough fed who's actually pretty competent.

     Daffy Duck 

     Yosemite Sam 
  • For the Evulz: The only reason Yosemite Sam is after the invisibility spray is because everyone else is.
  • Harmless Villain: Yosemite Sam is among the least threatening villains in the film, and he's exceptionally bad at doing anything evil. He brings a water pistol to a bank robbery and consistently tells people he's a criminal to their faces.
  • Saying Too Much: Yosemite Sam keeps announcing that he's a bank robber at the worst possible times — such as when he's about to rob the bank and isn't ready yet, or when the authorities are listening.

     Giovanni Jones 
  • Adaptational Job Change: He was an opera singer in Long-Haired Hare, the original classic short he appeared in. Here, he's the manager of a local perfume department.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Zigzagged. This version of Giovanni is portrayed as a mild mannered and effeminate man who treats people graciously and has a good (if sometimes strained) relationship with Lola, unlike the violent and mean-tempered brute his original counterpart was. On the other hand, he's also Secretly Selfish and a backstabbing friend who tries to pass off Lola's perfume creation as his own, though he does realize his mistake and apologizes for it near the end.
  • Ambiguously Gay: He has very campy mannerisms and an effeminate voice, and is very into fashion, but nothing is established.
  • Easily Forgiven: When Giovanni asks Lola to forgive him, she does — but she has her limits. When he asks for a hug immediately afterwards, she tersely replies "Don't push it."
  • Fat Bastard: Wants to steal Lola's perfume and patent it as his own, and he's definitely fat.
  • Toilet Humor: When Giovanni steals the perfume and heads to Paris, "flight attendants" Lola and Bugs serve him a lot of high-fiber foods so he'll be forced to go to the bathroom and they can get the perfume back while he's gone.

     Marvin the Martian 
  • Big Bad: Marvin is easily the most powerful of the villains — not that it does him much good.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Marvin is usually a Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain who's attempts to destroy the planet Earth are Played for Laughs. In this movie, his actions and the threat that he poses to humanity are portrayed a lot more seriously, and he's more than willing to kill anyone who poses a threat to his plans or simply gets in his way.
  • Running Gag: Marvin mentioning something, only to find out he's misplaced it.
  • Teleportation: Marvin teleports everyone to Mars, and a chase scene takes place at a "Teleporter Depot".
  • World-Wrecking Wave: A variation. Marvin still wants to get rid of Earth so he can see Venus clearly, but instead of destroying the planet, he wants to use the Flora Occulta to make it invisible.
  • You Have Failed Me: Marvin pulls this on Cecil at the end, causing him to switch sides and help the heroes escape.
