Added DiffLines:

* LostPetGrievance: Periwinkle takes care of an injured bird he named Tweet-Tweet and develops a close bond with him. Sadly, Tweet-Tweet dies the next morning, leaving poor Periwinkle devastated. Upon being told his feathered friend is now way up in the sky, Periwinkle attempts to get as close to the sky as he could to speak to the bird while his siblings (unsuccessfully) try to find him [[ReplacementGoldfish a new friend]]. At the end of the episode, Papa Bramble makes Periwinkle a bird-like balloon to say his goodbyes in and have it float into the sky so it could cross paths with Tweet-Tweet.


Added DiffLines:

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Periwinkle is normally honest, nice, a bit timid, and seen as a "goody-to-shoes" by his siblings. However, he does occasionally have his {{Jerkass}} moments like in "Romeo and Violet" when he joins his brothers in scolding Violet for hanging out with a boy bunny they were competing against or when he argues with Poppy in "Merry-Go-Round".


Added DiffLines:

* SmallNameBigEgo: Poppy is intelligent and a talented inventor, but is also very arrogant and constantly brags about his successes.

Added DiffLines:

* BrattyHalfPint: Each of the bunny children have had their own misbehaving moments, but it's mainly Mistletoe who's the real brat.


Added DiffLines:

* ObliviousToLove: Violet's friend, Gamba, develops a huge crush on Mistletoe in "Holiday with Love", but he never notices. It isn't until Violet tells him about her friend's crush in "Dream Vacation" that he starts to return the feeling.
* PuppyLove: Or rather Bunny Love. Each of the bunny children, minus Dandelion, seems to have their own love interest. Poppy loves a [[TinyGuyHugeGirl taller girl named Pammy]], Violet falls for a deaf bunny boy named Romeo, Mistletoe starts developing feelings for Gamba (though only after Violet told him Gamba had a crush on him), and Periwinkle's interested in a girl named Pimpernelle.
* RecurringExtra: The mice moving around in the background often go through similar situations the rabbits go through. Hardly anyone seems to notice them, though.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Dandelion is the smallest and youngest of the Bellflower bunny children and his older siblings do their best to look after him.



* ChristmasEpisode: In "A Christmas Tail", the bunny children stumble upon a stranded reindeer and meet three of Santa's elves. They help repair their broken beacon so they can return to the North Pole, but Dandelion, desperate to meet Santa, takes the beacon and tries to fly off to the North Pole. He winds up getting lost and, through Santa's instructions, finds the elves and returns the beacon. The next morning, the bunny children convince themselves [[AllJustADream the whole ordeal was just a dream]], but are convinced otherwise when they see Dandelion's present: The carrotmobile he flew in, as well as a note from Santa.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Violet (Pirouette) is Papa Bramble's only daughter.



* YouGoGirl: In "Refried Donuts", when Violet (Pirouette) claims she wants to become a firefighter when she grows up, the boys, especially Mistletoe, mock her, claiming that a girl can't be a firefighter. Aunt Zinnia comes to her defense, telling them that girls can do things as well as boys, but unfortunately, Papa Bramble doesn't make things better by agreeing with his sons. However, later in the episode, when Papa Bramble is too frightened to hang lights on a rooftop, Aunt Zinnia climbs it and, despite being afraid herself, successfully hangs the lights, making Papa Bramble take back what he said earlier and admit boys and girls can do the same thing, much to Mistletoe's dismay. Then, near the end, a firefighter saves Violet and Mistletoe when they're trapped inside their [[HouseFire burning house]] and, to Mistletoe's shock (and Violet's delight), the firefighter was a female.

Ever wanted an antidote to ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' but felt ''WesternAnimation/PeterRabbit'' was too British? Then how about a show about the adventures of a family of cute bunnies doing cute bunny things!

This French series takes a concept that would make for a very [[TastesLikeDiabetes sugary]] series and makes it noticeably better entertainment than usual.
