Rabbids Invasion is a French television series based on the Rabbids franchise. It aired for four seasons on France 3, starting in 2013. The fourth season was also released on Netflix internationally. The show is produced by Ubisoft Motion Pictures, TeamTo and CNC.

Plot
This series brings television to the hysterical physical comedy that is the hallmark in Ubisoft's wildly successful Rabbids video games. Irreverent, unpredictable, and silly, the Rabbids are a mysterious breed of rabbit-like creatures that explore and often wreak havoc in the human world. Everything is a source of wonder and amusement, and these indestructible and uncontrollable creatures have no respect for the social rules that govern society. For them, there are no laws, no rules of the road. It's all about having fun and saying "Bwaaaah! and Bye, Bye" In Season 4, the Rabbids take off for new adventures out of the Junkyard, their famous haunt, with an ever-crazier goal: head for Pretzel Island, their new Eldorado, found on the back of a box of cereals. Onboard their new hi-tech means of transport, the flying submarine, a real place of life, endowed with astonishing technologies, rabbits have indeed the power to go where they want. Also, they can count on a new tool, the Disguisarium, which allows them to disguise themselves at their convenience and equip them with skills related to their costumes. The rabbids will not be alone during these new adventures: we find Zak and Zoe, determined to help the rabbits to return home, but also the special section that investigates the mystery of the flying submarine, and Otto Torx, the new supervillain. Our dear rabbits are not at the end of their sentences ... bwah bwah! The Rabbids embark on an unpredictable globetrotting adventure while making new friends…and new enemies.

In The Platform, he finds the Rabbids comically amusing much to the disapproval of his partner. During the third test he and his partner fight over who gets to push the buttons and eventually break the device resulting in the floor of the lab opening and resetting the test. In N°98004 he highly praises a Rabbid as it completes each test, much to his partner's annoyance as she knows the Rabbid was only lucky, but in the end, the Rabbid is rewarded with a donut. He also appeared in The Rabbid Who Fell To Earth searching for aliens after a nearby saucer-sighting, and finds a Rabbid that painted itself green, put a rubber glove on its head, and got a plunger sucker stuck to its mouth. After taking it back to the lab he soon discovers the Rabbid's true identity and leaves the lab angry, but moments later a real alien approaches him that looks almost exactly like the Rabbid's costume, but kicks it away believing it to be another trick, and does not notice as it beams up into a saucer and flies away and later on, becomes crazy like the Rabbids

In N°98004 she praises the octopus' ability to perfectly execute each test but becomes agitated by the Rabbid who is only succeeding by sheer luck. She also makes her assistant clean up the dog's "accident" it made when they tested it and in Rabbid Like Me she has Cody pretend to be a Rabbid to study the Rabbid's more closely only for Cody to go crazy and start thinking he is a Rabbit, resulting in her getting arrested by Garrett.

Video game
Rabbids Invasion- The Interactive TV show is a video game to go along with the show of the same name that will be released on the Microsoft Xbox One and mobile devices and tablets. The game will allow players to interact in the scenes from the TV show by pointing at the screen, shouting along with the Rabbids, and dancing. A Mobile port of the game named Rabbids Appisodes was released on October 14, 2014, on iPad exclusively in Australia for the time being.

Reception
Rabbids Invasion has received mixed reviews. The show has been highly criticized for both its writing and voice acting but has been praised for its CGI visuals. Common Sense Media gave the show 2 out of 5 stars while the Internet Movie Database gave the show a 5.5 out of 10. Despite its criticisms, the show remains consistently popular, especially towards children and fans of the Rabbids franchise, and has reached 2.6 million viewers in each episode. However, despite the show being popular, many fans still did not like it as much as the games. Also, many articles (including Damien Laquet's page) has stated that Rabbids Invasion has become a hit-series and a success.

DVD releases
The series has been released on DVD exclusively in France for the moment, which was a pack containing the first 13 episodes of the series in the order in which they aired in France. The DVD is under the name of Rabbids Invasion-Part 1. The second and third volumes were released in 2014. Rabbids Invasion: The Complete First Season (American Version) a DVD of the complete first season is also sold in France currently. Additionally, the series is currently available for purchase from iTunes and Amazon.com in the U.S.A and France.

Trivia

 * The Rabbids are not voiced by Yoann Perrier in the TV show. Instead, they are voiced by Damien Laquet.


 * During the demo, Rabbids are shown to communicate with chickens and cows by singing an alien theme song similar to that of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.


 * in Jurassic Rabbid it is revealed by Lapinibernatus (Ancestor Rabbid) that the Rabbids were once intelligent and had a beard. However, due to the Ice Age and evolution, their brains have become smaller and smaller until they completely became stupid.


 * In the episode "Music Rabbids" the Last record (7th) was the same as the first record only in the first they had additional parts of the song.


 * It is unlikely that Rabbids Invasion is canon to the games due to personality changes and characters being exclusive to the show so it is probably a separate continuity.
 * A teaser trailer was released for Season 4 on Jul 10, 2018, on YouTube but was taken down for unknown reasons
 * Voice recording for the second Season started on April 7th 2014
