Who's ready for Bunnymund?!
Chapter 2: Bunnymund
Crowd: (cheering)
AniUniverse: What's up, guys? Animation Universe here again and we're back with more Interviews with the members of 'Rise of the Guardians'. We've covered Jack Frost last time and our guest for today...he's a pure Guardian. He's 6'2, has an Australian accent, carries around some boomerangs and flying eggs and not to mention...the dude that defines Easter. But...he's not your average bunny. With that said, please welcome the Easter Bunny from down under...Bunnymund!
Crowd: (screaming for Bunnymund as he comes towards the stage)
Bunnymund: (waves at the crowd and has his picture taken by a random girl)
Bunnymund: Hello, mate. (shakes AniUniverse's hand)
AniUniverse: Sup, Bunny?
Bunnymund: (sits down) Wow, I've never had that much people cheering for me like I was the biggest thing around here.
AniUniverse: Well, hey...older kids can believe in the Easter Bunny, right? And since 'Guardians', you've pretty much got the most popularity.
Bunnymund: Wow, that's something. You know, I've been Googled, Facebooked, Tweeted...I thought that people would make a big deal about this back in Australia, but from here...it's a whole 'nother story.
AniUniverse: You know, we've got some dividing teams in our audience; most of them are Team Jack and judging from today, it's Team Bunny.
Bunnymund: (chuckles) Twilight reference, eh? I'm quite cool with that.
AniUniverse: Anywho...in 'Rise of the Guardians', everyone knows you're the Easter Bunny.
Bunnymund: Yep. That's me.
AniUniverse: But...you're a different kind of bunny, right?
Bunnymund: Right, mate. I'm 6'2, live in Australia, carry around a lot of boomerangs and flying eggs and I stand on two very big feet.
AniUniverse: (looks at his feet): Whoa...you set yourself apart from other bunnies.
Bunnymund: Yep. The main difference though is that when I tap two times, I make a little tunnel and I hop in and leads me to wherever I go.
AniUniverse: That's pretty awesome. So...you had a little history of dealing with Jack Frost, right?
Bunnymund: Oh, yeah. I've had to put up with him for years now because he's always disrupted Easter Sunday with his snowy staff and we've been sorta like...rivals. He's a good bloke though. But he doesn't really take life too seriously.
AniUniverse: You know, I'm told that you're the only breed still standing.
Bunnymund: I try to block out the memories.
AniUniverse: Sorry. So...what was your position in Rise of the Guardians? I know your duty is to bring joy to children each Easter morning for an easter egg hunt, but you're also a Guardian on top of that.
Bunnymund: Yeah, the thing is...I tend to keep the imagination of children alive and well and as long as they believe in the Easter Bunny, I'm doing a job for them. Just like Santa, Tooth and Sandy, I protect the kids of the world from anything that stands in their believability. And if anyone stands in the way of children's happiness...(breaks out his flying eggs)
AniUniverse: Whoa...I'm definitely a believer now.
Bunnymund: Thanks, mate. (puts them back in)
AniUniverse: Jack Frost has made the assumption in the movie that he mistook you for a kangaroo at some point. Did you always have that same similar kind of breed?
Bunnymund: No. Jack always seems to think life's a joke and he always knows notihng but snow and fun. When Jack called me a kangaroo, that's on one of those 'that's personal' jabs. I would like to clear out that I am not a kangaroo. I'm a bunny. End of story, period.
AniUniverse: Gotcha. What was it like fighting Pitch?
Bunnymund: Pitch is the epitome of bringing fear into children's dreams and threatens the innocence of pure imagination, so with him and his scary looking shadow horsemen, it was a big challenge to take him down, but the only thing that makes him scared is not seeing kids get scared. I'll say this much...it was not easy. But...now, we don't have to worry about Pitch anymore.
AniUniverse: You were not a happy camper when Santa told you that Jack Frost was gonna be a guardian the first time. Have you guys gotten along since the final fight or do you still...?
Bunnymund: We're good mates now. Jack still does irk me at times, which is bloody annoying...but we're cool now. But...I was definitely not okay with Jack being a Guardian because at the time, he was careless, irresponsible and immature at times. But ever since he became a new Guardian, he's been pretty cool now that he found his center. But he's still the same old Jack Frost...just a rookie.
AniUniverse: All righty then...if you were to challenge Jack in any particular random sport, what would it be?
Bunnymund: Um...let's see. Crikey, this is definitely hard. I'd say an arm wrestling contest. I would challenge him straight up.
AniUniverse: Jack told me that he would most likely beat you at a dance-off.
Crowd: Oooohh...
Bunnymund: Oh, did he really?
AniUniverse: Do you have any moves?
Bunnymund: Do I? Mate, I've got moves ever since before Jack Frost was even born. Next time he comes, tell him I'll accept that challenge. I'll wait backstage.
AniUniverse: Coolio. Well, that's about all the time we have here. Bunnymund, thanks for coming by.
Bunnymund: Thank you. Great to be here.
AniUniverse: Bunnymund, ladies and gentlemen!
Crowd: (cheering)
Bunnymund: (stands up, taps his foot and makes a hole, then waves to the crowd and pops in)
AniUniverse: Well, see ya'll next time!
You'll see the dance-off later on in the story. If you've got some questions for Bunnymund, feel free to do so. And this is dedicated to my friend; Sargesgrl12.
