'Louie' the raccoon wins 2024 Cadbury Bunny title

KTVI - St. Louis

March 27, 2024 at 7:02 AM

A new Cadbury Bunny is crowned And it's not your typical fluffy rabbit. Meet "Louie," the two-year-old raccoon from Miami, Florida. He's the first of his kind to snag the title. As the grand prize winner, Louie will star in the 2025 Cadbury Bunny Tryouts commercial and receive $7,000 in prize money. In 2021, the raccoon's owner saved him after determining that he was unfit to live in the wild. Louie captured the hearts of fans on Instagram because of his friendly attitude and artistic talent.
