Netflix and Gaumont Animation shared a first look at the upcoming
Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles at a San Diego Comic-Con panel for the animated series based on Stan Sakai’s legendary comic,
Usagi Yojimbo.
You may know Miyamoto Usagi, the samurai rabbit, from his long standing connection to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Both products are products of the underground comics boom of the 1980s, and Usagi has crossed over with the anthropomorphic heroes in three of their animated series. But as announced last year, Netflix’s & Gaumont’s (
The Fifth Element,
F Is for Family) will be the first time the bunnicular warrior gets his own solo cinematic debut.
