Bunny Kids = Mrs. Brisby's Kids

I just got through watching Robin Hood (1973) for the first time, and I immediately recognized the three rabbit children: they later got ear jobs and became mice in The Secret of NIMH (1982). Three of Mrs. Brisby's four children are essentially the same characters. (You don't get to know her fourth kid very well -- he's sick through the whole film.)

Is this old news? I looked around for a reference to it, but couldn't find one. As far as I know I'm the only person who's noticed... but that can't be. It's pretty obvious.

I'm sure they were Don Bluth's bunnies in the first place. He was an animator on this, later formed his own studio, and did The Secret of NIMH (for those who didn't already know).

Thats interesting.I remeber the sister mouse on NIHM and the bunny were probably bluths.
