Human Characters

What is the justification for refusing to list the human characters? All I saw was an uncommented deletion. -- kainaw™ 13:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Not sure. I don't think there was any malicious intent in removing them, or any "refusal". There was some early vandalism to this article, and your additions of the human characters the first time may have been lost in that mess unintentionally. I see no problem with it at all. We probably also need a list of the puppet characters to go along side of them... --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Looking at it, I see that the human characters are now listed in the skits - perhaps someone moved them there, removing them from the Characters section. I do not know. The issue is that Pinky Pinkerton has a redirect to here and it needs to be an accurate redirect. -- kainaw™ 17:13, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

This article, in its incomplete and early state, may see some significant changes. #-directed redirection may be unwise at this point. I see no problem with simply redirecting to the article title alone... --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Changed the redirect. -- kainaw™ 17:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

• • The human characters are listed in the format of the show and noted as they live in "Peopletown". NoseNuggets (talk) 1:32 AM US EST Dec 15 2007. —Preceding comment was added at 06:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Catch-all section

The last section titled Bunnytown puppets, characters and sets is basically a catch-all. It only covers the puppets and a few example characters: sets are not covered at all. It needs a bit of a rewrite. The characters could be listed in a more complete way, moving the Peopletown characters from the "Format" section, because they really are major characters, and not just a part of the format; the puppets could be compared to the Jim Henson puppets (given the production connection); and I'll bet someone (hey, maybe even me) could make a stab at describing the sets.--Rfsmit (talk) 13:53, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Needs some reordering. I'm working on a draft at User:Rfsmit/Bunnytown.--Rfsmit (talk) 20:58, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

There we go. Hope that's to everyone's liking. Summary:

• reordered content more toward what I imagine readers' expectations are -- basically breaking up the "Bunnytown puppets, characters and sets" section
• added references
• removed the out-of-place detailed description of Pinky Pinkerton's clothing (given that similar treatment was not given to Red and Fred)--Rfsmit (talk) 22:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Bunnytown Original channel Nick Jr?

Original channel Playhouse Disney, why does the article say original channel Nick Jr. (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.211.117 (talk)

On Nick Jr?

It's on Playhouse Disney, why does the article say it's on Nick Jr. when the photo for the show on the site says Disney on it? Violet yoshi (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

There was a lot of vandalism, which has wormed its way into the article. The last uncorrected bout seems to have been from User:76.226.148.162, who on 2009-06-02 16:17 changed the original airing and country of origin from GB to Canada, adding lots of other pro-Canada spam, and changing Playhouse Disney to Nick Jr.. I aim to fix this, but later. I need to examine the changes made since then to see if a simple revert will do.--Rfsmit (talk) 18:00, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Contrast with Jack's Big Music Show

I think the comparison/contrast to Jack's Big Music Show should be listed. Bunnytown is visually the same show, and is made by the same people at the same company. I came onto wikipedia today to see a section describing the arrangement between the two (whether Nick was making it for Disney, whether Nick was suing Disney over it, whether one was an overt sequel or spin-off of the other, etc.) Anyone know what's going on?--Mrcolj (talk) 13:45, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Disputed

I am not able to verify the claim that Bunnytown was "Nickelodeon's first large-scale international production", and I am not able to access the given reference. Bigvernie (talk) 20:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

The claim was originally that it was "Disney's first large-scale international production", but it was apparently vandalised to say Nickelodeon. I can't access the reference either, however. --David Edgar (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Reverted apparent vandalism

It seems a lot of vandalism occurred and was not reverted (as Rfsmit identified above). I have reverted many facts back to what seem most likely to be correct, given the limited sources (in particular http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=74458).

I found no source at all for the references to production in Canada. Various places indicate it was made at Elstree (including the studio itself http://elstreefilmstudios.co.uk/film_tv_search.aspx?searchsectorm=f_title&searchtextm=Bunny%20Town&id=b&fid=546 ). (And the parks in St Albans mentioned are certainly not anywhere near Canada.)

I also found no reference for the involvement of Bill Barretta and Brian Henson.

I removed the following 'credits' section because I can find no reliable reference. It's maybe useful information, but not unless we can be sure it's correct and sourced.

• Producers: David Rudman, Brian Henson, Bill Barretta
• Writers: Emily Rudman, Alice Dinnean Vernon
• Puppeteers: Bill Barretta, Pam Arciero, Terry Angus, Lee Armstrong, Anthony Asbury, Larry Basgall, Julianne Buescher, Tyler Bunch, Kevin Carlson, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, Frankie Cordero, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Alice Dinnean Vernon, Myra Fried, James Godwin, Tim Gosley, Brian Henson, Eric Jacobson, John Kennedy, Jim Kroupa, Tim Lagasse, Bruce Lanoil, Trish Leeper, Peter Linz, Drew Massey, Frank Meschkuleit, Kathryn Mullen, John Pattison, Michael Petersen, Gord Robertson, David Rudman, Mike Schwabe, Joe Selph, Sandra Shamas, Michalan Sisti, Bob Stutt, Nikki Tilroe, Karen Valleau, Tom Vandenberg, Matt Vogel, Cheryl Wagner, Victor Yerrid
• Music & Lyrics: Todd Hannert
• Music Composition & Arranging: Terry Fryer
• Puppet Shop: Gene Barretta, Larry Basgall, Jane Gootnick, Scott Johnson, Marian Keating, Rollie Krewson, Mike Schwabe, Polly Smith, Jean-Guy White, Julie Zobel

If further references for any parts of the article can be added, this would be very useful. --David Edgar (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
