Bunny

I saw it on video, and it was impressive - very sweet & funny, and the animation is unbelievable. I can't wait to see it in a theater- its coming to Film Forum in New York City in May. I loved it.

It was an interesting shirt to watch. There's not much to really say other than it's about a widowed rabbit who finds herself bothered by a moth while she's baking a cake. The short focuses on her attempts to rid from her house while also giving insight on her past.

I've read some people found it scary or haunting. But for me, I never got that vibe. I will say the render for the main character hasn't aged well and does look eerie, but that's about it. Nitpick aside, it's an ok short.

I won't give away the ending, but it's pretty interesting to say the least. If you have kids and are interested, check it out. It's worth a watch.

First of all let me say that this short film had some of the most impressive computer animation I've ever seen in my life. Truly impressive and mesmerizing.

I do have one major complaint though. The story is friggin' stupid! I'm sorry but my personal belief is that an animated short film should NEVER try to be dramatic, stick to pure comedy and cuteness. Maybe it's just that I was expecting something else having seen "Ice Age" before "Bunny", but I was just waiting for something funny to happen and it never came. The whole oven/portal thing was lame! Maybe it's just my ignorance, but if it wasn't for the commentary on the "Ice Age" dvd I wouldn't have understood what the writers/animators were trying to say at all.

I'm sorry, but I thought the story was just boring and stupid, but the animation was excellent. I will say this though, the little moth was pretty cute (and extremely well done). In any case, I would definitely still recommend seeing this short film (despite my dislike for the story), due to the animation and it's extremely short length. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading.

This is one of Blue Sky's earlier projects before Ice Age.

It has a similar look to Ice Age, even thought up by Chris Wedge who made Ica Age and Robots possible.

Bunny is about a lonely old Rabbit(female). She's been lonely for a long time, ever since her husband died.

One night while baking a cake she gets annoyed by a moth.

But that moth may lead her to see her late husband again.

It's a short film, so there's not much to say about it. It has a little bit of humor, but it's more drama than comedy. So don't expect it to be an Ice Age like CG film.

It's still worth seeing. You're able to see it off the Ice Age DVD.

This won the Academy Award for Animated Short and it's easy to see why, even in a fairly strong field of nominees. The technical aspects alone would justify the award. It's a visually arresting cartoon. I've seen much less attention to detail in "set decoration" in feature-length live-action films! But the visuals are only part of the tale here-indeed, it is the tale itself that is at the heart of things here. The characters matter, the interactions make sense and the story is interesting to the viewer (although, at least in my opinion, the primary reason this won out over another nominee was the superior visual look and feel of Bunny and the race was close there, as well. Too bad they didn't end up tied) without becoming cloying at the end. Good to see this getting wider release on the DVD of the feature Ice Age, by the same studio. Let's hope features don't take up all their time and energy, so that they can occasionally give us a shorter marvel like this. Well worth watching. Most highly recommended.
