The Bunny: Scamper
The Film: Igor (2008)
Why He’s Cool: He’s immortal. And suicidal. Which is pure genius.
Not only that, but the patchwork pet is voiced with suitably laconic style by Steve Buscemi, which ensures he’s easily one of the best things in a slightly sub-par animated film.
Sorry, John Cusack. You lose.
Franchise Opportunity: Scamper deserves a full showcase from the likes of Henry Selick.
His crazed design and suicidal nature means he’s the perfect fit for one of Selick’s superb animated adventures. Perhaps Neil Gaiman could be cajoled/kidnapped into writing more adventures for Scamper and the bunny could live on to terrify children everywhere. While being laid back, of course.
Why He Shouldn't Be The Easter Bunny: Because he'd only use the shards of a broken Easter egg in an attempt to take his own life. Which would be a bit of a downer for the kids.

I think it's a complete oversight that Roger Rabbit is not on this list.

No inclusion of Frank from Donnie Darko. This list is therefore invalidated, good day.

How about Boingo Bunny from 'Hoodwinked,' voiced by Andy Dick? [SPOILER AHEAD:] His big production number at the end of the film when he's exulting in his villainy is one of the funniest animated feature scenes in the last several years.

"He's got humanity's best interests at heart, which means he'll probably tip all the chocolate eggs into the sea, because he's worried that we'll all get heart attacks or obese or whatever." Waitaminute! Harvey lets Elwood P. Dowd drink himself blind. Why would anyone think he'd throw out all the chocolate?

If you included the Mallrats Bunny, how about the cigar-smoking Bruce Willis in a pink bunny suit in "North"? No easter eggs or chocolate, but he'll help you get your priorities right, ie, your parents ain't half bad.
