Bunny Trailers

Bunny, an elderly rabbit who uses a walker, is in her kitchen one night baking a cake. A photograph from her wedding day is on her wall. A pesky and persistent moth bangs about the kitchen. She shoos it outside, turns off the porch light, and returns to her baking. The moth finds its way back into the kitchen, she bats it with a wooden spoon, and it falls into the mix. She stirs it up, pours the batter into a pan, and pops it into the oven. But the moth isn't done: it has a different mission, turning the oven into a portal, and inviting Bunny on a voyage of reunion.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

it could be defined as a touching film. but, in fact, it is more. a story about a rabbit, a cake, a picture, a moth. and about the essential meet. a film about life. in delicate, admirable, simple way. beautiful scene by scene. magic for its profound lesson. useful for the wise way to remind. what it is real important. it is not easy to describe it. because it has the gift to be a precious trip in the past, across the memories. this define it. and does it. real special.

This is a lovely example of computer generated animation--especially for 1998. While during the last few years, CGI has been so common that even novices can make nice films thanks to readily available rendering software, for 1998, this was a pretty spectacular film. Remember--back in 1998, the ONLY game in town for this type of animation was Pixar--this was three years before Dreamworks released Shrek. So hats off to some lovely animation--it must have involved a lot of hard work.Now as for the story, I saw the film and read many of the reviews and I am left feeling that I must be a pretty shallow person. I could have cared less about the significance of the film and the oven scene--I just wanted to laugh or care about this film but didn't. For some, this is fantastic symbolism. For me, it's just really nice animation.FYI--This film won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.

The story is so sad!! ;_; Basically, for those of you who don't know and thus think it's lame, it's about an old widowed rabbit who gets mad at a moth in her kitchen after having some sad thoughts about an old wedding photo of hers. The moth is an angel and is trying to get her to come join her husband. She eventually gets mad and *****SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!*****bakes the moth in a cake. (Although she didn't intend to in the first place.) The moth opens a portal to Heaven (or so I think) and Bunny follows it. The ending is so sad as they show a close-up of the wedding photo and the figures move and-- *sob* --is so touching!!*****SPOILER END!!! SPOILER END!!!*****Sorry, but, being a Pisces, I am very emotional *Cry* and this was so sad, in a way... but that is no reason for you not to see it! It is sad in a good way, and the animation is brilliant! The characters and everything look like clay or puppets or something but the animation certainly flows like computer technology and that is what makes it great! So see the short, smile, (almost)cry, and be amazed. 8/10

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.-Chris
