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.

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.

In the world of computer animation we often see very visually impressive feats but it is very rare we see stories just as impressive. Bunny is a simple and touching tale of love and loneliness. When I first saw stills I assumed it was stop motion because the character was so warm and real. Quite an achievement.

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.
