A Plush Bunny Rabbit Makes the Perfect Gift

Plush bunny rabbits are quickly surpassing teddy bears as the number one plush animal given to newborn babies (and young children in general). And it's no wonder: they are simply too adorable and huggable for words. From floppy eared to perky eared, a plush bunny rabbit comes in all shapes and sizes. Some plush bunny rabbits come dressed in whimsical outfits and with their dreamy appearance and furry soft bodies, they can warm even the coldest heart.

There are many famous rabbits in the world that have been depicted in books, on television, and in the movies. Bugs Bunny is likely the most famous rabbit of them all; he was 'born' in Brooklyn in 1940 and is synonymous as the cartoon mascot for Warner Brother's and for his famous catch phrase "what's up doc?" Peter Rabbit was brought to life by author Beatrix Potter in 1902. He is most famous for getting himself into all kinds of trouble in the vegetable garden of Mr. McGregor. Both Bugs and Peter have been recreated as plush bunny rabbits so that children can forever be reminded of the Bugs Bunny cartoons and Peter Rabbit books.

Thumper the rabbit was made famous in the classic Disney film "Bambi." Thumper is so named because he thumps the ground with his right hind leg and he is also Bambi's best friend. The white rabbit in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, is another famous rabbit in literature. He runs around throughout the story with a pocket watch proclaiming how late he constantly is for a very important date.

The Energizer bunny is yet another famous rabbit who acts as the spokesperson for Energizer batteries. He is pink, wears blue sandals and dark sunglasses. He carries around a marching band bass drum that he keeps on drumming and drumming so as to show the long lasting life of the batteries. In the long line of famous cartoon rabbits Roger Rabbit rose to fame in the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" The premise of this tale is that Roger lives in Toontown and is framed for murder.

Rabbit from the Winnie the Pooh series and Br'er Rabbit are also famous bunnies from literature and film. The Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh is only one of two animals in A.A. Milne's stories that maintains his real name [of 'Rabbit'] and is not a stuffed toy (like Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore) that belonged to Christopher Robin. Br'er Rabbit is a central character in Disney's 1964 film "Song of the South" and makes a cameo appearance in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."

It makes no difference whatsoever if the child you purchase a plush bunny rabbit for knows any of the aforementioned famous rabbits; all they will care about is how soft and snugly their plush bunny rabbit is and whether or not they can take it everywhere they go.
