Pooh then gets stuck in Rabbit's hole door while he is trying to leave, Rabbit says the way to get him out is to use carrot juice. But when Rabbit goes to collect the carrots,Tigger comes to use his garden as his new bouncing ground, this makes Sora go to protect it.

Design[edit]
Rabbit is a large, anthropomorphized rabbit with predominantly yellow fur, except for his belly, mouth, and tail, all of which are white. He has long ears that are pink on the inside, four-fingered hands, and large, three-toed feet. His nose is round and pink, and he has four black whiskers, two on either side of his upper lip. He also has oval-shaped, black eyes and brown eyebrows.
Personality[edit]
Rabbit is practical in all matters and keeps his friends on the go. Rabbit at times may come across as being stubborn when it comes to his viewpoints, but once he realizes his mistake, he has the ability to admit he was wrong. He also tends to overreact in haste, but all his friends know that under his slightly bristly exterior lies a good heart. He likes to organize things and stay busy, hence he is often found tediously working in his garden.
Origin[edit]
The Disney version of Rabbit first appeared inWinnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. He is very by-the-book, preferring life to be simple, and is incredibly easy to frustrate, showing disdain for the antics of the other jovial characters of the 100 Acre Wood, particularly those of Pooh and Tigger. He takes tremendous care of his garden, and prefers to tend to it in his everyday life alongside relaxing activities like reading. Despite his fussy nature, however, he has a good heart and is well-intended, being a great friend to those around him.
In the original films, Rabbit was voiced byJunius Matthews. Starting withThe New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in 1988,Ken Sansom took over the role, and voiced the character up until 2010, including inKingdom Hearts II. The following year, in the filmWinnie the Pooh, he was voiced byTom Kenny, who reprised the role inKingdom Hearts III.
