Hugo the Abominable Snowman is a character in theLooney Tunes franchise.
Hugo is a large, rather naive, and easily fooledabominable snowman who really likes bunny rabbits. He likes to name his pets "George" and tried on two occasions to makeBugs Bunny his pet. He seems to be an actual snowman, as he melted when exposed to the sun too long. His character is a homage toLon Chaney Jr. as Lennie Small fromOf Mice and Men. "George" refers to Lennie's friend George Milton.
Hugo first appears in the episodeThe Abominable Snow Rabbit when Bugs andDaffy Duck run into him after accidentally traveling to theHimalayas.[1] When Bugs later brings Hugo toPalm Springs, Hugo cuddles Daffy again while sweating which ends with Hugo melting.
InSpaced Out Bunny, it was shown that he was captured byMarvin the Martian and brought toMars where Marvin attempted to give Bugs to him as a pet.[2] With help from Bugs, Hugo turned against Marvin the Martian and placed him in his wristwatch. Hugo then tossed the spaceship that Marvin brought Bugs in towards Earth like a frisbee in order for Bugs to get back to Earth.
Hugo made brief appearances inTiny Toon Adventures, voiced byJoe Alaskey.
Hugo appears inThe Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Yodel Recall", voiced byJim Cummings.

Hugo was also a boss enemy inPorky Pig's Haunted Holiday. He appears at the end of The Alps where Porky Pig has to damage him by jumping on his head once he bends over to throw a snowball at Porky. Once he's defeated, he falls asleep. Hugo is credited as Monster Max in the credits.
