Plot
Sunny Bunnies are fantastic creatures, who live on the Sun. They can fly through a secret door into the Earth with the help of sun rays. Before they leave their hot climate, they put on colourful warm coats made of sunny fur to keep them warm. The Bunnies can appear everywhere where there is a light, and if the dark falls, anything from the moonlight to the light of the stars to even a candle light is enough to bring them to life. Sunny Bunnies are full of joy, and any dull matter they happen to come across is turned into an exciting game, and any place they happen to be at into a playground. Wherever they appear – park, stadium or circus – the Bunnies find something to do straight away and make it fun. The Bunnies can laugh at each other and make jokes with each other, but they are always ready to lend a hand. They quite often end up in ridiculous and funny situations, but always find a solution to the most difficult of problems – all thanks to the team spirit. When the game is over they come back home, to the Sun. That being said, these restless creatures can't stay still for long and pretty soon they set off on their travels again, going to new places and turning new adventures into fun-filled games.
Characters
Main
Turbo is the leader of the Sunny Bunnies. He is intelligent, self-confident, loving, kind, and very fast, but a little bossy to his friends.
Big Boo is an overweight Bunny. He loves ice cream and he will do anything for it, but will eat many kinds of foods as well. He is very kind and despite being clumsy, he loves sports, especially weightlifting.
Iris is a smart and beautiful Bunny. She has a sister named Shiny, and they tend to do everything together. She doesn't cry a lot, but she gets mad when her bow gets lost or taken. Iris knows many games and understands magic.
Shiny is a kind and very sensitive Bunny. Unlike her sister, she doesn't wear bows. She also has a fear of heights. She cries whenever things belonging to her get taken away, or when something special to her gets ruined. These are times that her friends try to cheer her up.
Hopper is the youngest Bunny of the group. He is the mischievous one, and is always the one who starts the mischief. He tends to be a bit of a prankster, doing things like taking drawings and ruining them with a paintbrush, causing his friends to get mad at him. He apologizes for his actions later.
Recurring
Big Gray Wolf is the main antagonist of the series. Debuting in Season 2, the Wolf comes from the Moon and formulates many plans to trap and eat the Bunnies, but always gets thwarted by them - sometimes even by accident.

Video game
In October 2018, it was announced that an official Sunny Bunnies video game was in development by game development studio 9th Impact and on 16 November 2018 'Sunny Bunnies: Magic Pop!' was launched on iOS App Store and Google Play Store. The game is a puzzle where players tap 3 or more adjoining characters of the same colour in order to make them magically "pop" and count toward achievement of the level objective. An episode of the TV series titled 'Magic Pop!' was released on the same day as the game. In the episode, the Sunny Bunnies discover a digital game and start playing. One of the group, Big Boo, unwittingly knocks over the screen, magically trapping the others inside the game. He becomes the hero of the episode as he discovers how to play the game and complete the objective to “pop” his friends out of the game and back into the real world.
