Behind the scenes[]
Name and basis[]
According to Matt Braly in the Gallery Nucleus Q&A panel, Bibsy is inspired by Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, and Bugs Bunny, being a combination of the three. He also considers Bibsy as Amphibia's Mickey Mouse version.[5]
Debut[]
Bibsy made a first appearance in "Adventures in Catsitting" on a t-shirt, before making his formal debut in "Fixing Frobo".
Trivia[]
- Bibsy became an inside joke among the show's crew during the third season, having cameos in different ways in several episodes.[5]
- Cassie Zwart owns a Bibsy puppet, made by herself.[6]
- The Bibsy-inspired theme park, "Bibsy World", appears to be based on Walt Disney World, reinforcing Bibsy as a parallel to Mickey Mouse.
- The Bibsy's animation "Bibsy_busts_a_move.gif" from "Fixing Frobo" is based on the popular meme of Kermit the Frog, Dancing Kermit, with the exact same idea.
