Changes: Benjamin Bunny

Revision as of 17:18, 3 June 2020

Benjamin Bunny (also called Benjamin Bouncer) is one of the three main protagonists in the Peter Rabbit (TV Series), and based on the fictional character of the same name created, written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter in "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny". The younger son of Peter, he is best known as the youngest, scared, hungry and impressionable one who always expects the worst. He is Peter Rabbit's younger son and travel companion in addition to being Lily Bobtail's friend and travel companion. An only child, he lives with his single father who is an inventor. He is voiced by Peter Steve Harris in the US version and Danny Price in the U.K. version. At 5, Benjamin is slightly younger than Peter, always up for anything Peter suggests and utterly hero-worships his big cousin.

Quotes

Benjamin's typically scared nature, a tendancy for expecting the worst and his constant hunger lend themselves to some phrases including: "I'm so hungry', 'there goes my tummy alarm!' Oh, this is bad this is very very bad" Benjamin's main catchphrase is "rabbits are brave, rabbits are brave..."

Positive role model classification

Benjamin isn't a completely perfect role model due to his extreme anxieties, irresponsible clumsiness, and hunger but he's a great example of someone who is positive and naturally enjoying just being himself. He doesn't try so hard to be professional at tasks like his older cousin Peter does (mostly unsuccessfully). He is comfortable being different. Benjamin is never afraid to be exactly who he truly is -- a kind rabbit who loves his family and friends and shows it. And in a way, his anxieties and reluctance are beneficial because it saves him from getting caught in a trap like his older impulsive cousin, Peter. Despite being a bit irresponsible and clumsy causing occasional issues such as thwarting garden raids, and accidentally losing Peter's father's journal, he owns up to his mistakes, apologizes sincerely, learns his lesson and helps come up with plans to solve the problem. He is also a very kind, polite, loyal, helpful, resourceful rabbit and good friend who is sharing and caring, willing to help others out, and values other friendships despite his anxieties to carry out perilous tasks, and when crucial moments come, he valiantly musters up enough courage to get his act together (stand up to and cleverly escape from the predators).

Personality

Benjamin is a very nervous, shy, loving and sensitive rabbit. He can also be described as chubby, gullible, hungry, trusting and naïve. In short, he is an easy target for Peter's adventurous dares often holding the swing vote between his older cousin and Lily, usually Lily's choices of action.

This 'funny bunny' is one of life's clumsy, hungry and scared individuals. He always seems to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, usually ending in comic results. However, Peter couldn't wish for a more good-natured, loyal cousin and companion.

Benjamin is a lot more likable and friendlier then he was in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. While he's good-natured and loyal in the series, his original personality was focused more on him being greedy and not being scared of Mr. Mcgregor. While he's more of a coward in this adaptation. He was also older than Peter in the original books.

A Big Eater, Benjamin is always hungry and delights in garden raids leading to potential food .

Benjamin is also a very well-mannered boy, who has no problems in making new friends, as shown him bonding with Lily during the series premiere whereas his older cousin got off on the wrong foot but eventually made friends with Lily as well.

Looks

A boy bunny about 5-6 years old with brown fur. He has dark brown eyes (similar to his older cousin Peter's brown eyes) and a dark brown coat and a dark green wool hat as well during their adventures. His brown-furred ears are white-furred at the tip. The hat Benjamin wears looks a lot like the tam o' Shatner Benjamin wore briefly in the book he debuted in.

Skills

Benjamin is a very fast digger, which helps him out in hide and seek, trip Mr. McGregor's wheelbarrow, help bury squirrel nuts, dig new tunnels and more. It was one of the only things he could do better than Peter and Lily. Plus he always seems to know which of his dad's inventions can help him and his friends out when they're in trouble. Despite being slightly overweight, he can still sprint surprisingly fast due to his species.
