Sunny Bunnies

The Sunny Bunnies are a group of mischievous and friendly magical bunnies that spawn from the sun. In each episode, they appear in different locations, ranging from the local park and various other places throughout the world. During these endeavors, the characters end up at odds with each other and clash, which causes chaos and destruction, or play kids' games to amuse themselves. As opposed to most other preschool-oriented shows, Sunny Bunnies heavily utilizes absurdist humor and slapstick to drive its comedy. The series puts a heavy focus on the main five characters, including their personalities, their semi-dysfunctional relationship with one another, and their dynamics. At the end of each episode, several "bloopers" are featured, either showing something happening during the in-universe production of the episode itself, a clip from the episode itself, bloopers of scenes not shown in the episode, extensions of the episode, or something else entirely. ==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 the largest bunny in the group, and loves ice cream to the point that in some episodes he is rarely seen without it. Sometimes he appears to be dim-witted, • Robot S-Marty (voiced by Dmitri Davidovich) is a new resident in Sunny Park, introduced in season 5. S-Marty is an orderly and punctual robot who keeps an eye on the bunnies and how tidy the places they roam (especially the park) are. • Mimi the Frog (voiced by Svetlana Tsimokhina) is a frog that was introduced in season 9. The bunnies want to play with her, but she wants to be left alone doing her own thing. She inflates her body when feeling uncomfortable. == Episodes ==
