The Adventures of The American Rabbit is an uninspired 1986 animated movie directed by Fred Wolf (of ThunderCats fame) about Robert Rabbit, a bunny who is transformed into a superhero to defend his friends, family and land from pollution and the Mafia. All whilst parading around in quite possibly the most retarded costume in superhero history... A rabbit painted in the stars and stripes and wearing roller skates (even though he can fly).
The American Rabbit is also Chris's role model in life, on the level of Sonic the Hedgehog. In Chris's Wikipedia entry, he stated "they REALLY SHOULD HAVE MADE A TV SERIES of him."
Along with Filmation's Ghostbusters, The American Rabbit is another example that Chris's childhood was fed by obscure cartoons that no one's ever fucking heard of.
That or his parents regularly raided bargain bins for videos to keep young Christian amused.
Influence
| “ | The jackals kidnap Rob's gentle gorilla friend Ping (voiced by Garfield himself, Lorenzo Music) by disguising themselves as a telegram service. A telegram service? In 1986? | ” |

| “ | The nonsense reaches a peak during the third act, when the villains kidnap and enslave two chocolate-producing moose, believing that if they are able to control the chocolate they'll be able to control the world. Huh? Do these two moose represent the entire world's means for chocolate production? | ” |

| “ | The Adventures of the American Rabbit is not good satire, it is not good action, it is not good slapstick, and it is quite certainly not great art. As green as this statement may make me look, the film marks the first time I've actually begun to think that some pictures just plain do not deserve to be criticized, analyzed, or considered in any capacity. To paraphrase our beloved former First Lady Barbara Bush, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like this? | ” |

The American Rabbit may have had a tremendous influence on Chris's narrative style, as the film has numerous plot holes, a generic moral message, moments that make you go "Huh?" (ex. when the antagonist weasels take over the world by kidnapping two moose who are somehow responsible for the entire chocolate supply), and general furfaggotry. In other words, your typical Sonichu comic.
