Sylvester the Cat from Looney Tunes
Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr. (originally voiced by Mel Blanc) is one of the Looney Tunes. A black and white cat, Sylvester has a lisp and uses the catchphrase, “Sufferin’ succotash,” often during his skirmishes with Tweety Bird. To recreate Sylvester’s look, you have a few choices. Replica costumes do exist which include a full-head mask designed to closely resemble the cartoon character. Pair this with white animal paw gloves and slippers to complete the look. Alternately, if full-face masks aren’t your thing, you could use a black and white onesie with the same gloves and slippers, and simply add a black and white cat tail and ears to your costume. As long as you take the time to memorize Sylvester’s signature phrase, there will be no doubt which cat you’re trying to emulate.
Bugs Bunny from Space Jam
Bugs Bunny is one of the most iconic of the Looney Tunes and has existed in many different iterations, including as a basketball player in Space Jam and Space Jam: A New Legacy. Playing opposite NBA superstars including Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Bugs must rally his friends to defend the Earth from an intergalactic threat by winning against the Goon Squad on the court. To dress like Basketball Bugs, you’ll need to start with a rabbit costume like a onesie and layer a basketball uniform over top. You can add additional details like gloves and slippers, or opt for a set of bunny ears instead of the hood. Likewise, if you want to take it to the next level, you can sew or glue a rabbit tail to the outside of your chosen uniform’s shorts.
