Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

"Bunny" is a 1998 7-minute movie that won an Academy Award in the "Best Animated Short Film" category. The writer and director is Chris Wedge. He directed 2 other shorts over ten years earlier already, but his big breakthrough came with "Bunny" and you may know him today because of his prolific work with the "Ice Age" franchise. The first over 4 minutes of this short film basically consist of an elderly rabbit being annoyed by a relentless moth. I wondered if it's maybe the reincarnation of his wife or if the moth will save his life at the end. Well.. watch it yourself to see what idea is closer to the truth. The ending was very nice and definitely improved the film. I found the rabbit vs moth part almost a bit repetitive early on, but the ending is worth sitting through it. This short film is also a very nice example how an actually creative idea (really, there is nothing great about this short film than the ending and maybe the animation) can get you an Academy Award and quite a few more awards from all over the world. Thumbs up for Mr. Wedge and his almost 20-year-old film here.

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.

I saw this short animated film and was astonished. I had no idea how much this movie meant in terms of it's depth etc. until I saw the directors commentary. It's basically about this old bunny who is baking a cake As she bakes the cake, a moth disturbs her. So, she swats the moth and it falls into the cake. Once the moth is in the cake, she places the cake in the oven, cooks it and then:::::SPOILER::::dies apparently. Good 10 minute film. Sad even.

Looking warm and touchable, unlike any other computer animated piece, Bunny is an excellent example of radiosity in action. It's ragged character design and attention to "defects" is what makes this Oscar-winning short raise the bar for any future computer animated work. I can't wait to see what they'll do next.
