The thing I really like about Bunnymund is how he’s this big badass voiced by fucking Wolverine and doesn’t take shit from anyone, but he loves what he does. He’s not ashamed at all to paint eggs and call them adorable and he’s not ashamed that he’s a bunny, two things that in our society are viewed as “not manly.” It really made me happy to see this manly man (sorry, manly bunny), who fights with boomerangs and is big and tough, doing all of these traditionally feminine activities and enjoying them. He takes pride in what he does and doesn’t have an ounce of shame about it. Non of the other characters tease him about it, either. Sure Jack calls him a kangaroo, but he doesn’t go ‘haha you’re a bunny’ or ‘haha you make painted eggs.’ It sends a really good message to kids that you can be a man and still love painting eggs and fluffy bunnies.
EGG FEETS
that’s adorable. this moment always makes my heart melt.
This is a really good point. Also, the reverse would be Tooth, who goes on and on about teeth of all things, and there’s the part where she shows Sophie the teeth and they’re still a little bloody and gross and she’s like, “Hey there little girl look at how precious right?” And Sophie ends up getting really close to Bunny, helping him paint eggs and stuff, and he’s completely cool with it.
He’s even picky about his eggs. When the kids stop believing and he has eggs in his basket like, “These aren’t my best ones but they’ll do,” like it’s no sloppy paint jobs for him, oh no, this is high quality art for him. I really do like this observation about him, because it’s true, he’s big and uses a boomerang and kicks ass but at the same time he’s like, “Easter and spring and pretty things yes.”
