We asked ourselves: "Who are the Rabbids? What is their archetype? What values do they represent?" The Rabbids have no memory, so they're spontaneous; they're stupid yet enthusiastic; irresponsible yet joyful, overbearing yet without taboo…. They incarnate a good number of our irrational impulses--that's the key. The Rabbids are irrational, emotional, sensual. They represent emotions pushed to the extreme. We created the Humans as their exact opposites. The humans in Rabbids Go Home mull over all their decisions, their emotions in-check. Their organs have atrophied. They have nearly forgotten that they have a body or a heart, and can barely handle those.
The meeting between these two opposing characters is an allegory of the internal debates we have with ourselves each time we make a decision.
