Bob's Burgers Movie Just Made Louise's Pink Hat Way More Significant
By finally providing the backstory for Louise’s iconic pink bunny hat, The Bob’s Burgers Movie also gives fans insight into a conspicuously absent figure: Bob’s mother. Before the film’s release, Bob’s Burgers never openly discussed the significance of Louise’s hat, and it only offered brief mentions of her paternal grandmother. Within a single scene, the movie answers two major questions fans have had for years.
Throughout Bob’s Burgers’ 12 seasons, Louise rarely spends a moment without her hat. She wears it to the beach, tugs on it in moments of heightened emotion, and even refers to its ears as their own entities. Other than her Kuchi Kopi nightlight, this is Louise’s dearest possession. The only time she’s seen without the hat is in the season 3 premiere “Ears-y Rider,” where a high school bully steals it. (Even then, Louise hides under a hoodie for the remainder of the episode until she’s reunited with her ears.) While clearly a huge part of her identity, Bob’s Burgers never explains why Louise has the hat in the first place. As a result, The Bob's Burgers Movie movie delights longtime fans with this origin story.

When The Bob’s Burgers Movie actually brings the original Mrs. Belcher on screen and reveals that she’s the inspiration behind Louise’s bunny hat, it truly surprises viewers in the
