The series debuted in 2004 when Shiman sought to create a humorous web series. She unveiled a version of The Exorcist, re-enacted by animated bunnies in 30 seconds. It received an overwhelmingly positive response online from a global audience, prompting Shiman to create more re-enactments. In 2005, the "bunny troupe" was commissioned by Starz! to make new shorts. Each Starz-commissioned re-enactment premiered on Starz on Demand before moving online. The series' take on Star Wars was featured on CNN on April 16, 2006.

Angry Alien Productions released a selection of the shorts on DVD on October 20, 2009. Previously, the Titanic short was included on that film's 4-Disc Special Collector's Edition DVD, released in 2005.

In 2007, Crackle became a distributing partner.[1]

In 2008, Shiman won two Webby Awards for Online Film and Video/Animation,[2] as well as the People's Voice award in that category.

On June 13, 2010, Shiman announced on the 30-Second Bunnies Theatre Website[3] that, after six years and 68 shorts, she was placing the series on hiatus to move on to other pursuits. The final short at the time was a re-enactment of the film Evil Dead II.

As of October 2011, Shiman completed three more re-enactments: Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, Freaks (1932) and Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat.

Shiman teamed up with FEARnet from 2012-2013 to make 2 additional seasons of horror movie shorts.[4]

In Spring 2015 Shiman informed that she would indefinitely stop making re-enactments after Blade Runner.[5][6]

In January 2018, Shiman launched a Patreon page to crowdfund a season of new bunny re-enactments. In February 2018, Shiman released the first re-enactment of the new season, When Harry Met Sally, for Valentine's Day.[7]

In 2019, Shiman teamed up with TV news/gossip site PrimeTimer.com to create a unique bunny season in which the troupe re-enacts breakout episodes from popular TV series. In March 2020, the last reenactment was from The Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".[8]
