Bugs Bunny: The Original Movie Rabbit

Kicking off our list is the original movie rabbit, the one, the only, Bugs Bunny. Created by Warner Bros. in 1940, Bugs has been a Hollywood staple for over eight decades. This wise-cracking, carrot-munching rabbit has faced off against the likes of Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam in countless Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts. But he's also made appearances in feature films like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Space Jam".

Fun fact: Bugs Bunny was originally designed to be a successor to Walt Disney's popular character, Mickey Mouse. But as we all know, Bugs ended up becoming a cultural icon in his own right!

Thumper: The Heart of Disney's "Bambi"

Next up, we have Thumper, the lovable bunny from Disney's 1942 classic, Bambi. Thumper is the best friend and confidant of the titular deer, providing comic relief and heartwarming moments throughout the film. This rabbit has a unique way of expressing himself, using his signature phrase, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."

Did you know?: Thumper was originally meant to be a secondary character, but his popularity led to him becoming one of the main stars of the film.

Roger Rabbit: The Toon Star of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

In 1988, Roger Rabbit hopped onto the scene in the groundbreaking live-action/animated hybrid film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This charismatic, wisecracking rabbit is a star of cartoons within the film's universe, but when he's framed for murder, he turns to detective Eddie Valiant for help. Roger Rabbit's unique blend of humor, heart, and animation made him a standout character in movie history.

Trivia time: The voice of Roger Rabbit was provided by actor Charles Fleischer, who also voiced the evil genius, J.P. Grosse, in the film.

**Hareton Ironhood: The Rabbit Knight from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

You can't talk about rabbits in movies without mentioning Hareton Ironhood from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This rabbit knight, played by Terry Gilliam, is one of the many hilarious characters encountered by King Arthur and his knights during their quest for the Holy Grail. Hareton's memorable scene involves a debate with the French taunter, leading to a hilarious and unexpected outcome.

Did you catch that?: Hareton Ironhood is one of the many anachronistic elements in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", which often blends historical and fantastical elements in unexpected ways.

** Judy Hopps: The Bunny Cop from "Zootopia"

Last but certainly not least, we have Judy Hopps from Disney's 2016 hit, Zootopia. This ambitious and determined bunny is the first of her kind to join the police force in the anthropomorphic city of Zootopia. Throughout the film, Judy must navigate prejudice and prove herself to her colleagues and the public. With her unwavering optimism and determination, Judy Hopps becomes a hero and an inspiration to all.

Behind the scenes: Ginnifer Goodwin, known for her role in "Once Upon a Time", provides the voice of Judy Hopps, capturing the character's energy and spirit.
