Rest in peace Eric Bauza. He brought so much to toons, his voice work was incredible and seemed like a great guy in general. So thankful Coyote vs Acme came out when it did, while it's not the last Bauza project that'll come out, he risked his relationship with WB fighting for that movie.

I already have issues w/Skydance owning WB and now i have to hear that Eric Bauza has passed away yesterday...I'm devastated he probably the closest one to Mel Blanc when he was voicing the Looney Tunes characters what a sad & heartbreaking loss to a very talented person and he was so young too.

Warner Bros. TV president Channing Dungey on Eric Bauza's passing: "[He] was a unique voice talent who brought joy and laughter to millions around the world... In addition to his incredible talent, Eric was a treasured part of our animation family. Our hearts go out to his loved ones."

Animation, he was the voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck among countless other characters,” said Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks Chairman Channing Dungey in a statement. “He followed in the footsteps of giants like Mel Blanc. Eric said that carrying on the legendary legacy of the Looney Tunes was among the greatest honors of his life. In addition to his incredible talent, Eric was a treasured part of our animation family. Our hearts go out to his loved ones.”

I'm absolutely horrified and shocked to hear about Eric Bauza's death. He really captured the spirit of the Looney Tunes very well and I can't believe that he passed away today as young as he was. I will really miss him badly.

I’m now gonna be sitting here and hoping that Warner Bros will include a dedication to Eric Bauza with this short before sending it to theaters in less than 2 weeks. He absolutely deserves it!

I think, to me, maybe Eric Bauza’s greatest accomplishment was putting his rising career on the line to speak up about Coyote Vs Acme’s cancellation. He had founded a charity, Saturday Morning Cartoons United, and some proceeds went to the currently ailing animation industry

I'm... I'm just numb, man. I'm not usually a profane person, but... losing Eric Bauza hurts. The universe seems uneven and unfair, you know? I'm going to watch some cartoons and just get into my creative work. Look in on your friends and tell them you love them. And keep creating, folks.

Bugs Bunny and Friends:
The Looney Tunes gang from counterclockwise: Foghorn Leghorn, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Bugs Bunny, and Tweety.

There was no better cheerleader, no better spokesman, no one who showed love for not only Looney Tunes but also Warner Bros Animation as a whole like Eric. He wasn't just a voice actor but also an animator in his own right. He loved the animation medium and the animation community loved him too.
