Iconic Rabbits: A Hop Through History & Pop Culture

0:00On April 5th, Easter just wrapped up, and while the Easter Bunny kicks back after all those chocolate deliveries, let's drop some knowledge on iconic, rabbits that have bounced through history and pop culture. The Easter Bunny tradition actually hopped over from Germany in the 18th century, where folks believed it laid colored eggs for good kids. Fast forward to literature, and Beatrix Potter dropped the tale of Peter Rabbit back in 1901, turning that mischievous bunny into a, timeless classic. Then, Disney got in on it with Thumper, the hyperlittle sidekick from Bambi, who taught us all about Thumping those feet. Buds Bunny takes the crown in cartoons, snagging the first animated character spot on a US postage stamp, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and even an Oscar for one of his shorts. Voice legend Mel Blonde brought him to life for over 50 years, despite being allergic to carrots. Talk about commitment. Modern vibes hit with the Energizer Bunny drumming on, Bad Bunny Rep in Puerto Rico, after that Super Bowl halftime show, and don't sleep on the white.
