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.
#BUGS BUNNY GIRLFRIEND MOVIE#
In this movie Honey Bunny was planned to be Bugs Bunny's female counterpart. In the middle 1990's artists working for Warner Bros. The most recent mention of Honey was in the book "Looney Tunes: The Official Visual Guide," where Honey is referred to as a former travel companion of Bugs Bunny. She also appeared in The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle video game in 1989 and the Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball pinball game in 1990. However, a female rabbit with Honey Bunny's yellow character design (who is unnamed in the cartoon but credited as Honey Bunny) makes a cameo appearance in the closing scene of the Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet animated television special in 1978. Looney Tunes characters, even though she has never officially appeared in a single animated short her appearances were limited solely to promotional and ancillary merchandising items. Officially, she is considered a member of the Warner Bros. This later version, which began appearing in the early 1970s, became the new "official" model and was used frequently in various Looney Tunes merchandise throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. While she still shared Bugs' basic coloration and design, her facial features (primarily her mouth and muzzle) and tail-tuft were made a bit smaller to give them a softer, more delicate appearance, her eyes were made a little larger and drawn with more prominent feminine eyelashes, and her female curves were given a bit more emphasis. Eventually, however, Honey was redesigned to a more visibly feminine model. She was later drawn to a very "Bugs Bunny-like" model with gray fur that made her look nearly identical to Bugs himself, aside from her female clothing. In some appearances, she had yellow or pale tan fur and wore a bow between her ears (which were worn down instead of pointing up). Honey's physical appearance also varied considerably over time. Their relationship through the comics was somewhat variable at times while they were often depicted as a dating couple, there were times when their relationship could be decidedly un-romantic and even adversarial if a particular story demanded it.

The more well-known version of Honey Bunny debuted in Bugs Bunny Comic Book #108 (November 1966) and was a semi-regular fixture in the series of Looney Tunes comic books published by Gold Key throughout the 1960s and 1970s, usually co-starring with Bugs Bunny. Instead of being portrayed as his love interest, this version of Honey Bunny is a small white rabbit (and famous African explorer) who is his cousin.
