When animated shows are conceived, the original concept is sometimes different from the final product. For this show, the original concept was that it was going to be about a family of rabbits; one boy and 25 girls to be exact. This cartoon revisits that concept in a fun look at what might have been. The framing device for the concept is Lincoln acting cool to impress a new girl, but he’s very adamant about not letting his sisters know. This old setup isn’t exactly the best one to follow at this point. With how much Lincoln’s been on the same page with his sisters compared to the early days, being against them shouldn’t still be the case. The best thing to come from this is the start of continuity between other cartoons with Lincoln directly referencing one about his sisters’ love advice to make his point.

We go into Lincoln’s mind and the look at what might have been unfolds. It follows a boy rabbit named Warren who’s largely outnumbered by girl rabbits in the family. Like Lincoln, Warren wants to impress a new girl, but the rabbit sisters do what Lincoln fears his human sisters will do by acting pushy with their advice. Each of the rabbit sisters have a fun personality. True, a couple of them are the same as some of the sisters we have now, but there are a few unique traits out of this bunch. To name a few, there’s a paranoid one, an artistic one, a meditative one, one glued to her phone, and a narcoleptic one among others. However, only a little of these traits are shown, making each rabbit sister feel not as fleshed out as they could be.

This makes it clear why this concept was changed. Too many characters often makes for disproportionate development and appeal from them all, even if it does make sense for rabbits. Heck, it’s the case for the human sisters sometimes. This setup also showcases a big problem of the series about constantly making Lincoln the main character of certain cartoons, or Warren in this case. In order to make the boy look good, the girls have to look bad and follow a hive mind by acting the same way with only their interests telling them apart. The fact that the sisters, human or rabbit, have interesting and fun traits on their own means they lack good likability and individualism that could do them justice. This is proven when Warren follows his 25 sisters’ advice on the girl, resulting in a cringe-worthy sequence of messing up and looking bad in front of her.


However, it’s after this bit where there seems to be more of an attempt to show how likable the sisters truly are. Lincoln wakes up and sees the actual rabbits from earlier help the boy rabbit win over that new girl. Believing his sisters did have the right advice after all, he goes back to them. This leads to an endearing sequence where they all praise him for who he is, selling their genuine love for their only brother. Convinced by them to be himself, Lincoln does so, and that puts him on friendly terms with the new girl. It kind of makes the fantasy pointless since Lincoln could have seen sense if he just watched the real rabbits and didn’t pass out. Still, this is an interesting look at what the show's initial idea even if the changes are for the best, and the actual cartoon has lots of family love all around. This show often tends to lean towards the basic side a lot, but there are also plenty of times where it follows interesting story concepts.
