Our first stop of course is the Bunnyburrow Train Station.  Welcome home, Judy!

There’s two interesting details about this picture.  First, can you see Totoro in this image?  Second, if you take a close look at the upper left center, you’ll see the Clover Shopping Mall.

Apparently, Bunnyburrow ain’t so far out in the boonies as Nick Wilde seemed to think.

But then of course, he turned over a new leaf.

Judy’s childhood friend, Sharla, dreaming of becoming an astronaut.  (It’s harder than heck to find  fan-art of her as a kid.)

Saying hello to Bonnie and Stu.  (No, they’re not freaking out; why would they?  They’re already in partnership with another fox, Gideon Grey.)

Inside the Hopps family warren, Nick seems to find the environment just a wee bit intimidating.

Ditto for Judy’s siblings.

But he’ll get over it.

And so it’s off to go help out in the fields.  “Beat it kid, I’m working this side of the blueberry patch.”

Hey fox, you’re supposed be helping, not daydreaming.

With the picking completed, it’s time to go help out at the produce stand.  Does Nick not look like a fox who knows how to make a good pitch?

And after that, let’s all just go kick back for a while.

Of course no trip to Bunnyburrow would be complete without a visit to Gideon Grey’s pie shoppe

Nick really seems to enjoy reading to the Hopps kids.

I mean, he really seems to enjoy it.

So does Stu, but then he tends to fade in the stretch.

And so the next morning it’s back to the city for Nick and Judy…but I suspect this isn’t the last that our intrepid fox has seen of Bunnyburrow.

Postscript on a personal note.  I have always believed that Bunnyburrow was based, at least in part, on the Willamette Valley, the state of Oregon’s farm belt.  To illustrate this point, see the photo above.
