| abstract | - Bunnytown is a children's television series that airs on Playhouse Disney's block in the United States and Canada, as well as more than seventy other countries. It is Disney's first large-scale international production. The program, created by David Rudman, his brother Adam and Todd Hannert, under their Spiffy Pictures banner, began airing in Canada on November 3, 2007, and in the USA a week later. It is produced by Bill Barretta, who currently worked for Jim Henson Productions. UK viewers got a premiere of this program on January 13th, 2008 on the Playhouse Disney channel sublet of pay-broadcaster Family. In France, the series began on January 27, 2008, and kept its original title Bunnytown. The show is produced in Ontario, Canada with many of the outdoor segments done at Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in nearby St Albans. The final episode was scheduled to air sometime in 2009. It is slated to return in February 2012 on the new 24-hour Disney Junior channel.
- Bunnytown is a children's television show that airs on the Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney. It was created by David Rudman, Todd Hannert, and Adam Rudman of Spiffy Pictures. The show revolves around a town of Bunnies, Bunnytown's debut was on November 3, 2007 in the United Kingdom, and in the United States a week later. The show is produced at London's Elstree Studios with many of the Peopletown segments are filmed near Clarence Park and Verulamium Park in St Albans, England. Music is a key part of the show, varying from disco to country music. The Bunnies play different roles such as a superhero, pirates, rock stars, and just plain rabbits. In an interview, creator David Rudman explained his idea of the show, "I drew this really funny looking bunny with a huge overbite and really long ears. I think I made it pink, and I thought it would be funny to have a big group of these things that looked the same." Bunnytown uses rod puppets, each eight inches high, controlled by rods from below and marionette strings above. A little trigger on the rod is used to control their mouths. Most of the bunnies call each other by simply bunnies, though occasionally one will be mentioned or announced on the show. "Standing beneath the wooden platform that displays the elaborate Bunnytown metropolis and farmland, a puppeteer manipulates a bunny on the end of a long pole with a few simple controls that move the creature's mouth and head." "It has a fun irreverence to it and I guess we best describe the show as a little variety show for preschoolers. It is really driven by music and comedy, One hopes that the underlying theme is to educate, but it’s not rubber stamped in a way that a lot of shows are. I think the first job is to entertain."
