drugbunny.com began in 1998 as a stress release project while in production on another totally unrelated animation project. Then one day in 2000 drugbunny.com was voted by fans as the number 2 independent animation website on iFilm.com. That was the beginning of a very interesting adventure and an opportunity of a life time. Articles were written about the website world wide comparing the animated website to Fritz the Cat and other x-rated cartoons. Fan clubs arose in South America, France, and Japan. The creators of drugbunny began submitting it to animation festivals world wide and found something very strange. No one would allow the animation to be entered into any animation festival due to content, specifically the name drugbunny.

In 2001 Berg Saconi, a management team from Los Angeles, called the creator and suggested they handle drugbunny as a possible property in the growing animation market driven by the web boom. The management team loved it, said they would pitch it to SKG, Paramount and others. But, one question loomed over the character creators head, "is it a problem if they change the name". It seemed that no matter how filthy the world wide web had become the one game "ender" was the word drug. The creator decided that this was a chance in a million and that a simple name change would be just fine. So names were bandied about, "dickbunny, detectivebunny, RXbunny, and so on". But changing the name seemed to lesson the effect of the characters sarcasm. The contracts were sent in mid 2001, 36 pages to be exact. Reviews were made, meetings with lawyers and a decision was made. The contract was signed and mailed September 6, 2001. Five days later, September 11, 2001 it all came to a screeching halt. 911 proved to be the game ender and not the name after all.

drugbunny was shelved for over 10 years. The website itself stayed up, and the fan base shrank but still exists today. In 2010 the creator and crew decided to rekindle the once loved but hated drugbunny. A comic book has been printed and they are now preparing to do a pilot. But this time the name drugbunny stays.
