Appearances
Bean Bunny first appeared as the central character of the 1986 television special The Tale of the Bunny Picnic. This special featured all new Muppet characters, without any of the usual Muppet Show cast.
He joined the Muppet Show family in the series The Jim Henson Hour, in which it was a running joke that, when he was outside his native heartwarming-TV-special context, people found him insufferably cute. In The Muppet Christmas Carol, he was the young boy to whom the reformed Scrooge entrusts the task of purchasing the giant turkey for the Crachits.
He is a main character in Disney Park's "Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D".
In the 1990 TV special, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, Bean tells Scooter that his middle name is Norman.
In Muppets From Space, he has a non-speaking cameo. He is walking down the hall with shaving cream, when Miss Piggy slams a door against the wall that Bean is walking by. The result is a whipped creamed Bean.
He has also appeared in several later Muppet specials, all subsequent Muppet movies, a season of the TV cartoon series Muppet Babies, and the Disney theme park attraction Muppet*Vision 3D, in which at one point he escapes the film and appears inside the theater.
Bean may appear, obscured in the background, on the poster for The Muppets. It is possible that Bean is between Mary, Walter, and Miss Poogy. Despite this, he is absent from the film. However, there is a similar white bunny that does appear in the film.
