Reception

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the show two out of five stars, stating: "Rabbids Invasion tones down the violence for the characters' jump from gaming to the TV, but they still have a lot of fun at the expense of each other and of unsuspecting bystanders, and a lot of their antics would be frowned upon in the real world (using chickens' butts as egg shooters in a mock battle, for instance). Ultimately, though, it's rude, crude, and minimally taxing on viewers' sense of comprehension, so for better or worse, it's bound to appeal to the grade-school set.[6]"

Broadcast

The series airs on France 3, Nickelodeon and France 4 in France, on YTV in Canada and on Nickelodeon in the United States and the rest of the world. It premiered in the United Kingdom and Ireland on February 3, 2014.[7] In Australia and New Zealand it premiered on January 28, 2014.[8]

Video game

On E3 2013, it was announced that Rabbids Invasion would be adapted into an interactive TV series, titled Rabbids Invasion: The Interactive TV Show.[9] The game, which would combine existing television episodes with a series of mini challenges, was released on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4 in November 2014. Kinect or PlayStation Camera is required.[10]
