And Knowing is Half the Battle

A bilby and a quoll watch Rise of the Guardians on TV  Quoll: They made the Easter Bunny an Aussie  Bilby paints an Easter egg while twitching


Done on request from my siblings.  To those who haven't seen it yet, Rise of the Guardians is a movie involving various amped-up mythological characters, such as Santa and the Tooth Fairy.  And they gave the Easter Bunny an Australian accent and a pair of boomerangs.  Which, while pretty awesome, is completely oblivious to the fact that Aussies are, er, less-than-fond of rabbits.  As in they've written a few dozen books involving evil rabbits, including a handful where the noble Easter Bilby fights against them. 
So if a group of kids from the opposite hemisphere are confused by this, then what do the actual Australians think about this?
And what does the Easter Bilby think?

Anyway, Happy Easter! 


P.S.  That spotty cat-thing?  It's called a quoll
They eat rabbits.
