Drew Brees, the first football player to be featured with the Looney Tunes, joins an elite group of sports legends including Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Wayne Gretzky, and Derek Jeter who have all been featured in a Warner Bros. animation limited edition.

"I am honored to be the first football player to be featured in a Warner Bros. animated fine art lithograph and cel," said Drew Brees. "I love this art and I'm excited for my son to see his Dad throwing a pass to Bugs Bunny."

The art depicts Drew completing the pass to Bugs Bunny for this colorfully captured moment in sports. Notice that Daffy Duck has just finished turning the 50-yard line into the "5000" yard line. "Bugs Bunny is wearing Billy Miller's number since Billy caught the pass that put us over 5,000 yards," said Drew. "This could not have been accomplished without my teammates, coaches, fans, and of course, the great city of New Orleans."

"I get to play a fun role in this piece as I'm immortalized as the one and only Bugs Bunny," said Billy Miller. "Catching the pass that put Drew over the 5,000 yards mark means a lot to me and helping him raise funds for The Brees Dream Foundation, our team, and the city really brings it all home."

Catch Dat Brees is the first animated Warner Bros. sports limited edition to feature an athlete in nearly a decade. The art was created using the traditional process of animation, is hand-drawn and hand-painted, making this art truly exceptional. Each numbered limited edition is personally signed by Drew Brees, custom framed, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
