Been checking out the 2016 animated adaptation series of Bunnicula recently on Dailymotion, and while it's not my absolute favourite animated series, I am really enjoying it, so I decided to draw some fanart of it with it's version of the three main characters Bunnicula the vegetarian vampire rabbit, Chester the cat and Harold the dog reacting to a whole group of monsters surrounding them. Bunnicula is ecstatic to see them, Chester is petrified and Harold isn't really sure how to react.

Before you ask, I haven't read the books the show is based on myself (but I'd like to ), and I heard the show is more loosely based on the books (the show takes place in the Orlock Apartments in New Orleans, more supernatural elements are present and some of the characters are portrayed differently along with them having a single father and his teenage daughter owning the pets), but I heard James Howe, one of the authors of the original books, was involved in the show's production and was really happy with how the show turned out, so I'm happy with that too.

But judging the show on it's own merits, I think that while the pilot episode (Mumkey Business) was a bit manic, a lot of the jokes in the show so far had me laughing, and I do think the characters play off each other pretty well and I think the whole setup reminds me of like if Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy got combined with Looney Tunes (which is fitting, seen as Maxwell Atoms and Jessica Borutski were two of the showrunners). (Plus, after all the feels in Steven Universe, something more light hearted makes for something a little different. )

The characters remind me a bit of a combo of the Spongebob cast (pre movie thankfully) and the Billy and Mandy cast - with Bunnicula being like Spongebob mixed with Grim (combining Spongebob's innocence with Grim's supernatural powers, albeit a fair bit more mischievous but helping save the day in most cases and gaining different abilities from different vegetables he drains - also, I think he can be pretty cute), Harold being Patrick and Billy (in that he's a bit dim but he doesn't do dumb things for no reason and is the heart of the trio - he's definitely like the BETTER version of Patrick and he has helped against some of the monsters in the episodes), and Chester being Squidward mixed with Mandy (he's an interesting case in how he can act scathingly sarcastic and has some cases where he does act smug towards the other characters like Bunnicula in particular that kickstarts some conflicts so karma does bite him in the butt, but he's also a huge bundle of nerves a lot of the time too and takes a fair bit of the slapstick and makes it clear he does care for the others and feels guilt for taking it too far in some episodes I've seen - plus he gets a lot of the best lines ).

Also, for all the show's spooky zany antics and spookiness, with how the characters interact and quite a few of the conflicts coming about because they or their owner Mina is in danger from the various monsters they face, it can have a fair bit of heart too when the characters show how much they care about each other deep down, which I do appreciate as well.

Finally, I have to say I really enjoy the art style and voice acting of the show too - it actually reminds me a little of my own art style (which was probably why I had so much fun drawing this picture) , and the voice cast including Sean Astin, Chris Kattan, Brian Kimmet, Kari Wahlgren, Richard Steven Horvitz, Grey DeLisle, Greg Eagles and Tom Kenny do a great job too.

I heard the show REALLY got screwed over by the network and falls under the radar often (it aired unannounced on Cartoon Network - I can think of a certain show responsible for why it didn't get much attention on that network , got kicked onto Boomerang after 8 episodes and then had unannounced airings happening over its three season run ), and I only came across the show by complete accident while channel surfing one day, and then again by accident when a friend mentioned the books on my Discord chat and coming across a lot of clips on YouTube, but I do recommend it to you if you're interested. I just think it's easier to find in America than here in the UK.
