History Main / WhiteBunny

* CrusaderRabbit.

* Whenever there's a magician, they will almost always [[PullARabbitOutOfMyHat pull a rabbit from a hat]], and that rabbit is most always white.

* In WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy's pet is a white rabbit named Angel Bunny. Fluttershy is the sweetest and kindest member of the mane six. Angel himself is rather questionable in his disposition.
* In an Easter episode of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' parodying ''TheDaVinciCode'', the secret heir to the papacy is revealed to be a white rabbit named Snowball.
* The prototype BugsBunny from 1937, dubbed "Happy Rabbit". He didn't become something closer to the familiar old grey hare until two years later.

This may be due to the fact that bunnies and the color white both have associations with innocence and gentleness. It may also be that any animal which is pure white tends to be visually striking and easy to watch. Or it could just be that a white bunny [[RuleOfCute is so darn cute]]

The white bunny is likely to be played to one of two extremes. It may personify gentleness and innocence, in which case it is likely to be a pet or friend to a [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure]], [[TheIngenue innocent]] character. Or it may play a deliberate subversion of that perception by being [[HairRaisingHare evil or vicious]], in which case characters will probably approach it unsuspectingly only to get a nasty surprise.

* Some of them are seen in ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' in "The Hounds of Baskerville".
** Justified there though; all the rabbits seen are lab animals. [[spoiler: Genetically engineered rabbits and other animals are usually white, because it's easier to see bioluminescence from a white animal than from an brown or black one.]]

* Snowball, the main character of ''{{Bunnykill}}'', is the only major white bunny of the main cast.

* Subverted in KevinAndKell: Kevin is white, but apparently, he was brown before he began working with computers.

Eye color also plays into this trope. Most colors of rabbits simply have BrownEyes. White rabbits however can have [[BlueEyes blue]] or what rabbit breeders call "ruby" eyes. The ruby eyes can be portrayed as [[HairRaisingHare sinister]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]], or as a [[PrincessesPreferPink cute]] and [[PinkMeansFeminine feminine]] pink.

* In an Easter episode of ''SouthPark'' parodying ''TheDaVinciCode'', the secret heir to the papacy is revealed to be a white rabbit named Snowball.

* The KillerRabbit in ''MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail.'' Definitely of the deceptively gentle-looking variety

* The UrExample might be the White Rabbit from ''AliceInWonderland''. Averted by the March Hare who is usually shown as brown.

* In [[Literature/LandOfOz ''The Emerald City of Oz'']] Dorothy travels to Bunnybury, a city created by Glinda for all the pink-eyed white rabbits of the forest.

* ''{{Arthur}}'': Buster Baxter and all the other rabbit people we meet are pure white.

* Some of them are seen in ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' in The Hounds of Baskerville.
** Justified there though; all the rabbits seen are lab animals. [[spoiler: Genetically engineered rabbits and other animals are uasually white, because it's easier to see bioluminescence from a white animal than from an brown or black one.]]

Not to be confused with FollowTheWhiteRabbit

* {{Lost}} named an early episode that used the FollowTheWhiteRabbit plot "White Rabbit." In later seasons,actual rabbits appeared - white rabbits. They were often associated with Ben, and their scenes with him caring for them as a boy showed his own innocence.

* The title character of ''WhoFramedRogerRabbit?'' is white-furred with blue eyes
* ResidentEvil. In the first film Alice recovers a memory of life in the Hive before the T-virus outbreak. An Umbrella researcher injects first the T-Virus and then its antidote into a white rabbit. The whole film is about the extreme evil of the Umbrella MegaCorp, so using a white rabbit could represent the innocents put at risk by Umbrella's research.
