It's funny how I didn't remember much of it outside of the boy falling ill, the rabbit having to be burned (with other items from the room), and the fairy turning him into a real rabbit... because there wasn't hardly anything after that, lol!
Yeah, again, Hanna-Barbera's version has a slightly different ending, in which the rabbit approached the boy (named Robert in this version, not sure if he had a name in others), and actually lets him pick him up and hug him the way he used to when he was a toy, but is startled and hops off when the nana comes to retrieve him, but even as she walks him back to the house, he pauses for a moment to say, "Goodbye Robert, thanks for making me real", before hopping off with the other rabbits... a significantly more satisfying ending compared to him being distracted by a girl bunny "flirting" with him, before he decides to simply hop away with her... but again, having not read the book, I'm unsure which ending is more accurate to the original story.
