PERFORMER | Kevin Clash |
DEBUT | 1993 |
Billy Bunny was the star of Billy Bunny's Animal Songs, a direct to video production from 1993. He was also seen in original footage created for the sing-along video, It's Not Easy Being Green, and in a Muppet Time segment.
A 1993 press release for Billy Bunny's Animal Songs described Billy as follows:
In the video, Billy sings his way through the forest as he runs across a swamp full of frogs, a cave full of rapping bears and a singing porcupine. In It's Not Easy Being Green, Billy appeared in new material alongside Kermit the Frog and was also inserted into the song "Barbeque" from Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. Billy also joined the Frog Scouts in a 1994 Muppet Time segment.
The Billy Bunny puppet was later recycled as a generic rabbit for several Sesame Street appearances. He appeared as The Hare in the Elmo's World episode "Fast and Slow." He also appeared along with Jennifer Hudson in the "Carol of the Bells" segment of Elmo's Christmas Countdown (performed again by Kevin Clash, but with a different voice), and in the song "The Addition Expedition" (with an altered Benny Rabbit).
