Silly Rabbit

The Silly Rabbit in his first appearance. (1959)

The Silly Rabbit is an anthropomorphic rabbit who does not have a taste for carrots, but rather Trix cereal - he attempts a variety of schemes and disguises to try and steal the cereal from the children guarding it, but is always confronted by the phrase "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"

Notes[]

  • General Mills commercials - including the rabbit's debut - did not utilise copyright notices until after they stopped being mandatory for copyright, so there are many designs and disguises to use with the rabbit
  • Trix cereal is a trademarked product, as is the phrase "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids" so if you want to include the Silly Rabbit, you'll have to come up with a new food for him to seek.
