DVD Verdict: Just to bring you up to date a wee bit, Miffy is a small female rabbit in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. The original Dutch name, "Nijntje", is a shortening of the diminutive konijntje, "little rabbit".
The first Miffy book was produced in 1955, and almost 30 others have followed. In total they have sold over 85 million copies, and led to two separate television series as well as items such as clothes and toys featuring the character. A feature-length film, Miffy the Movie, was released on 30 January 2013.
Three television series based on the character have been produced: Dick Bruna's Miffy Storybook Classics, which ran from January 1, 1992 until December 31, 1992, Miffy and Friends, which ran from April 7, 2003 until August 10, 2007 on Noggin in the United States, and Miffy's Adventures Big and Small, which premiered 2 October 2015 on Nick Jr. in the United States.
Here in 'The Great Outdoors,' Miffy is always eager to learn and try new things, and she inspires her best friends, Melanie and Grunty, to do the same.
