Bean Bunny

Bean Bunny is a puppet 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, which did not have any Muppets in it, although many of the puppeteers involved were also Muppet performers.

He joined the ranks of the Muppets 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, and even the theme park attraction Jim Henson's MuppetVision 3D, in which at one point he escapes the film and appears inside the theatre.
