Behind the scenes

  • Bauza is of Filipino heritage.[2]
  • He cites the Canadian children's TV series Mr. Dressup as an inspiration for his creative side growing up.[3]
  • Bauza has been very vocal on social media, sharing his work on both Twitter/X and Instagram, in addition to animation-related news, interviews and other miscellaneous things.
  • While hosting for the 2024 Annie Awards, Bauza supported the release of the unreleased live-action/animation hybrid Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme, which reportedly had been shelved by Warner Bros. a few days before the ceremony. During the speech, he made his support by improvising an interaction with his voices for Bugs and Daffy.[4]
