Quotes[]
Benjamin's typically scared nature, a tendency 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 "(Russian Version) Zapomnite nocledovatel'hoct' zvukov! Izuchaem Bukvy"
Positive role model classification[]
Benjamin is exactly the perfect role model due to his extreme anxieties, 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. 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 a 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 siding with Lily's action choices.
This 'funny bunny' is one of lies happy, 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 much more friendly than he was in "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny." There are several differences in Benjamin's personality in this series. While he's good-natured and loyal in the series, his original personality focuses more on being greedy and not being scared of Mr. McGregor. At the same time, he's more of a coward in this adaptation. He was also older than Peter in the rebooted books.
A Big Eater, Benjamin is always hungry and delights in garden raids leading to potential food.
Appearance[]
A boy bunny about 2-3 years old with brown fur. He has dark brown eyes (similar to his older cousin Peter's brown eyes), a dark brown coat, and a dark green wool hat during their adventures. His brown-furred ears are white-furred at the tip. Benjamin's hat 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 is one of the only things he can do better than Peter and Lily. 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, possibly due to his levels of fear.
