Aw come on, do people always have to hate on anything new? The books are the books and the cartoon is the cartoon. It's a gorgeous and lovable cartoon, too!

Um

Except the book series was a completely different GENRE

I’m not hating on it because “it’s new”. I’m upset because Bunnicula was my childhood, and I have always ALWAYS dreamed of a movie or a show of it that reflected the reasons I loved it in the first place. The reasons MOST people loved the series. The characters and the silly mysteries!

The whole point of the Bunnicula Mystery of itself was questioning if he was a vampire or not. The family thinks he’s a normal bunny, and the cat is trying to prove he’s a vampire. 

That’s the whole joke, that’s the whole premise, a cat who loves the Sherlock Holmes books who is obsessed with mysteries and drags a kindly dog who thinks he’s dumb in comparison to the cat (but is actually smart)

They continue on in more adventures with more fun mysteries outside of Bunnicula, strange things keep happening around them, and the series always ends proving that the cat was just overthinking things and things weren’t what they seemed. (But it always leaves some indications that perhaps some things were true after all, but not as bad as they were assumed)

The show, as far as I’ve seen, is the cat constantly trying to get rid of an overly obvious over obnoxious vampire rabbit with spooky weird magical powers.

That’s not remotely the same thing, they just slapped the names on the characters and it bothers me. 

It really bothers me, because if I was a published author and my vision had the opportunity to come to life, I wouldn’t want it to be flanderized, stripped down, and completely rewritten.
