Monty Python and the holy Grail

Tim, the guy, is the keeper of the bridge. The lady's costume is a reference to a ferocious rabbit.

Tim is an enchanter, who warns them about the dangerous rabbit. He's a separate weird-guy-with-a-cloak than the keeper of the bridge.

What. Is your favorite color.?

In the 90s, hundreds would pile into rep cinemas near colleges and recite every line.

Thank you for the clarification! I'd forgot the difference between Tim and the bridge keeper.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Tim the Enchanter and The Rabbit of Caerbannog.

That makes sense.

My first thought was Bunnicula or one of the other hundreds of killer rabbits.

"Hundreds of killer rabbits" is some s tier link text 😄
