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.

Reviews
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Lee Eisenberg Chris Wedge's Oscar-winning "Bunny" is one of the most mystifying cartoons that I've ever seen. One might interpret it as a look at moving on with one's life. Seven minutes long and with no dialogue, it says more than lots of features say. The Tom Waits song during the credits sums up the cartoon's mood.I understand that Wedge went on to direct "Ice Age". I never saw that one - and have no interest in it - so I'll remember him for this cartoon. It's one of the few cartoons that I've seen that I would call philosophical. It deserved its Oscar. I have to admit that I never would've guessed that Tom Waits would do a song for a cartoon, but it's worth remembering that cartoons don't have to be cute stuff for children. Worth seeing.
geertbiermans Ok, the story is simple. But Chris Wedge obviously didn't make this short for the story. He tried to put a bit of poetry in a computer-animated film. And he succeeded. Together with the excellent computer effects, this is a brilliant short
dylanmaxwell There are few animations which are truly geared for adults in such a mature way. Mr Wedge has really achieved something special with his portrait of a bunny at the end of her life. On top of this, Blue Sky managed to wrangle Tom Waits into writing an original song for this animation. Beautiful work.If you enjoyed this I'd recommend Watership Down, Plague Dogs and Nausica in the Valley of the Wind.
storm-21 Though not experimental "Bunny" has an original story and excellent handling of all the important factors (sound, editing etc). It also features the best computer animation I've seen so far leaving i.e. "A Bug's life" and "Antz" considerably behind. Winner of the "Grand Prix" at the last "Imagina" "Bunny" is my bet for the Oscar as the Best Short Animated Film.
