Bean Bunny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bean Bunny is a fictional character, one of the Muppets. He is performed by Steve Whitmire.
Bean Bunny first appeared as the central character of the 1986 television special The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. This special featured all new Muppet characters, without any of the usual Muppet Show cast.
He joined the Muppet Show family in the series The Jim Henson Hour, in which it was a running joke that, when he was outside his native heartwarming-TV-special context, people found him insufferably cute. He has also appeared in several later Muppet specials, all subsequent Muppet movies, a season of the TV cartoon series Muppet Babies, and the theme park attraction Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D, in which at one point he escapes the film and appears inside the theater.
