Bean Bunny

Bean Bunny first appeared in 1986 as the star of the TV special The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. He was designed by Diane Dawson-Hearn.

He joined the Muppet family in 1989, in The Jim Henson Hour. It was a running joke that, outside his native heartwarming TV-special context, people found him insufferably cute.

Bean also had a major part in Muppet*Vision 3-D. In The Muppets at Walt Disney World, Bean tells Scooter that his middle name is Norman.
