Sunny Bunnies (Polish: Słoneczne Zajączki) is a computer-animated children's television series produced by Digital Light Studio (for its first 6 seasons and part of the 7th) and Animation Café (season 7 onwards). The show consists of seven full seasons, with 26 episodes each. The seventh season was launched on February 17, 2022, and is airing on YouTube. Sunny Bunnies is broadcast in more than 160 countries internationally, and its YouTube channel launched in April 2016 with management support from DHX-owned online kidsnet WildBrain.
Plot
The Sunny Bunnies are a group of magical bunnies that inhabit the sun. In each episode they appear in seemingly randomly chosen locations, ranging from the local park and various other places throughout the world, and on two separate occasions, beyond. During these endeavors, the characters are usually at odds with each other and clash, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in their wake. As opposed to most other preschool-oriented shows, Sunny Bunnies heavily utilizes absurdist humor and slapstick to drive its comedy. At the end of every episode, a number of "bloopers" are featured, either showing something happening during the production of the episode or a clip from the episode itself. The series puts heavy focus on the characters, their personalities, their semi-dysfunctional relationship with one another, and their dynamics, like Turbo's straight man persona clashing heavily with Hopper's hyperactive and often foolish actions for example.
Characters
Main
Turbo (the orange bunny, voiced by Dmitri Davidovich) is the overprotective, short-tempered and occasionally arrogant designated leader of the other bunnies. He is caring, intelligent, and self-confident, but a little bossy and controlling to his friends. He usually serves as the straight man to the madcap antics of the others, especially those generated by Hopper. He is 5 years old. "Big" Boo (the pink bunny, voiced by Dmitri Davidovich) is 6 years old. He often takes care of the others. He is the largest bunny in the group, and loves ice cream, to the point that in some episodes, he's rarely seen without it. Sometimes he seems a bit stupid, but he is actually smart and kind, although a bit distracted at times. Iris (the purple bunny, voiced by Svetlana Tsimokhina) is one of the most intelligent bunnies. She has a younger sister named Shiny, and they tend to do everything together. She always wears a large pink bow (with white dots) and doesn't like when her bow gets lost or stolen. Iris understands magic and is 4 years old. Shiny (the light blue bunny, voiced by Svetlana Tsimokhina) is a kind-hearted and rather sensitive bunny. She always wears a flower in her hair. Shiny is sisters with Iris, and spends her time playing with her. She is 3 years old. She is the only bunny to have hair resembling that of a human. Hopper (the green bunny, voiced by Svetlana Tsimokhina) is 2 years old. Despite his cute demeanor, he is the most mischievous, short-tempered, and impatient member, and most of the show's comedy is driven by his antics and the mayhem that he generates, especially early on. Despite all of his seemingly antagonistic flaws, he does care for his friends, with his actions usually being playful as opposed to having full-out malicious intentions; he often does suffer the consequences in a spectacular fashion, either due to his friends catching wind and retaliating or his own plans backfiring comedically and often nonsensically.
Minor
The Big Gray Wolf (voiced by Dmitri Davidovich) is the main antagonist of seasons 2 and 3. Debuting in the episode of the same name, the wolf comes from the moon and formulates many plans to trap and eat the Bunnies, but always gets fooled or loses them, often accidentally. Robot S-Marty (voiced by Dmitri Davidovich) is a new resident in the Sunny Park debuting in season 5. S-Marty is an orderly and punctual robot, who is keeping an eye on how tidy the park is.
