🧠 My Take: A genuine piece of animation history, and Disney finally got him back.

The Energizer battery brand uses the famous Energizer Bunny, a pink bunny with a drum, sunglasses, and flip-flops who simply never stops moving. The character debuted in a 1989 television commercial and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. His signature drumming, those bongo beats, and the “Still Going” tagline have all become instantly recognizable shorthand for the brand.

11
Peter Rabbit (The Tales of Beatrix Potter)

Peter Rabbit - The Tales of Beatrix Potter

🎬 From: The Tale of Peter Rabbit

🐰 Known For: Raiding Mr. McGregor’s garden

🧠 My Take: Over 120 years old and still the definitive storybook rabbit.

9
Anais Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball)

Anais Watterson - The Amazing World of Gumball

🎬 From: The Amazing World of Gumball

🐰 Known For: Genius four-year-old little sister

🧠 My Take: The smartest character in the family, by a mile.

Anais Watterson, a pink rabbit and the youngest sibling in The Amazing World of Gumball, is the younger sister of main character Gumball.

White Rabbit (Alice in Wonderland)

White Rabbit - Alice in Wonderland

🎬 From: Alice in Wonderland

🐰 Known For: “I’m late!”, the waistcoat and pocket watch

🧠 My Take: The rabbit who started it all by leading Alice down the hole.

The White Rabbit first appears in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, where Alice follows him down a rabbit hole into a fantastical, surreal world of talking animals and magical creatures. Fussy and perpetually anxious, he’s forever rushing, dressed in a waistcoat and constantly checking his pocket watch.

In The Secret Life of Pets, Snowball steals the show as a funny, cute bunny with a deceptively adorable look.

A. A. Milne created Rabbit, the fussy, organized resident of the Hundred Acre Wood, back in the 1920s, and he’s been a fixture of the Winnie the Pooh franchise ever since.

Officer Judy Hopps (Zootopia)

Officer Judy Hopps - Zootopia

🎬 From: Zootopia

🐰 Known For: Zootopia’s first-ever bunny cop

🧠 My Take: A genuinely great lead, determined, flawed, and easy to root for.

In Disney’s 2016 hit Zootopia, the spotlight is on Officer Judy Hopps, the film’s lead and a trailblazing figure: the first rabbit ever to wear the badge in the Zootopia Police Department. Embodying pure determination, she chases her dreams and tackles obstacles head-on. She faces real prejudice and skepticism, much of it about her small size and rookie status, but with resilience and grit she pushes forward, proving her worth and inspiring audiences young and old.

2
Thumper (Bambi)

Thumper - Bambi

🎬 From: Bambi

🐰 Known For: Bambi’s playful, thumping best friend
