Starting next Monday, May 23, Boomerang, Turner Germany's family channel, will be showing the first season of the series "Bunnicula", Monday to Friday at 15:45 p.m. in German for the first time. The animated series produced by Warner Bros. Animation is about Bunnicula, a vampire bunny who sucks the juice from vegetables instead of blood. The series is based on the children's book of the same name by James and Deborah Howe, which has sold over eight million copies and won numerous awards since it was published in 1979.
The series takes place in a mysterious old apartment building in New Orleans. One day 13-year-old Mina found “Bunnicula” there, locked away in a chamber deep down in the cellar. Mina immediately falls in love with the strange rabbit and adopts him as a pet, not knowing that he has supernatural powers. "Bunnicula" attracts many strange beings, against whom he has to fight and from whom he has to protect Mina. And at the same time he has to be a lovely bunny. Mina has two other pets. Chester, the paranoid cat, doesn't trust the vampire bunny. He thinks that "Bunnicula" is a danger and would like to get rid of it. In contrast, Harold, the clumsy family dog, is very fond of "Bunnicula" and sees him as his cool, flying friend.
Kind of reminds me of Duckula ...
