Trivia
After the introduction to the rabbits Tiny says "that's it!" and J.C. follows up saying "What you were expecting a musical number where we dance around and takes us an hour to introduce ourselves? Yeah right."Which is a reference to the original where the rabbits danced around during The Name Song.

J.C. goes up to a tree where he says it has death all over it but just a tree carving with the number 100 on it which J.C. thinks a hundred rabbits were playing in the forest and never came back but is really how many acres of wood there is in the forest.This is a slight reference to Winnie The Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood.

J.C. tells Tiny that he used to have a brother that had a really big foot that liked to stomp real loud and wake the neighbors up. Which is a slight reference to Thumper from Bambi.

Another Bambi reference is that a hunter is aiming at a mother doe while her son is running the hunter is just about to shoot her but Tiny goes up behind him and bites him in the leg the hunter screams and he shoots his gun up in the air.

This is the mother shooting scene from Bambi but showing what actually happened to Bambi's mom.
