DEBUT | 1986 |
Mayor Bunnyparte appears in the 1986 special The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. The mayor is a rather ineffectual community leader, pompously orating and dispensing "official" announcements at ceremonial events, but helpless in a crisis, such as an impending dog attack.
The puppet was used again in The Muppet Christmas Carol, and the "Midas Touch" story in Muppet Classic Theater.
His name is a reference to French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
