Rabbit appears in most Disney ''Winnie the Pooh'' cartoons, but he is cream yellow in color, instead of brown.  An added element is his keeping of a garden, of which he is strongly protective, becoming angered when any creature seeks to damage it. Although he is not described as having a garden in either of the A. A. Milne books, he has one in David Benedictus's ''Return to the Hundred Acre Wood''.

The Disney adaptations also develop his personality further, expanding the original organized character into a by-the-book [[control freak]] with a short temper, although his care for his friends remains.  The film character's willingness to do things by the book appeared in ''[[Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin]]'', in which he consistently follows written instructions for fear of being unable to think well for himself, although he later produces a competent plan.  Despite occasional malevolent behavior, he always learns from his wrongdoing; while a leading character in the film ''[[Springtime with Roo]]'', he abandons his selfishness after considering the possibility that it will drive all of the other characters away from the forest.

In the Disney adaptations, Rabbit and [[Tigger]] are usually [[Foil (literature)|foils]] for each other. In the original featurettes, Rabbit outright dislikes Tigger. By ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', however, they have become close friends, though very dysfunctional ones, who regularly work together. Tigger's antics continue to annoy Rabbit and make trouble for him, while Rabbit's harsh attitude and attempts to teach Tigger a lesson still come off as unkind. Nevertheless, Tigger is usually the first one to help Rabbit when he needs it and Rabbit cannot deny their closeness.

His character is consistent in most of the Disney adaptations, although in ''[[Welcome to Pooh Corner]]'', he is a talented magician and in ''The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'', he is pale green instead of yellow. At one point in the latter series, Rabbit adopts a bluebird named [[Kessie (Winnie the Pooh)|Kessie]]. {{As of|2004}}, Rabbit now appears at [[Walt Disney World]] in [[Lake Buena Vista, FL]] and [[Disneyland]] in [[Anaheim, CA]] for meet and greets.
