Great Film overall
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
precise message, right animation. and contemporary themes , from bulling to the sensitivity of huge bunny who knows give the perfect revenge to its enemies. result - a delightful short animation who is more direct than moral lesson. and , in strange way, this is a virtue because it reminds the simple forms of justice . so, great animation and beautiful characters. remembering the fairy tales of childhood.
Watched this years back, and find myself searching for it again more than 5 years later. My little one loves it, and unlike the other review warning of violence, I disagree. Firstly, there is no killing in the entire story, no blood, no gore. Yes there is an element of bullying, but the revenge was more of an amusement.There was no physical retaliation by the bunny, and even when he caught the ring leader, he basically hung him out to dry like a kite, giving a rare opportunity to the first bird in the scene to have some fun with him as well.Loved it and so does my little one, I would highly recommend it.
Watched this short animated film on the Feve Spanish trains in Northern Spain. The first time I watched it I thought it was alright, entertaining enough with a few funny parts. Well over the course of two days I saw this well over 50 times. It would play back to back to back to back...over and over and over. I have it damn well memorized now. Hope the creators are getting some money for allowing Feve to play this on their trains. Worth a watch, but not worth seeing 50+ times! Oh, and watch after the credits to see the bird get it's revenge. Now if only I could get my revenge on Feve for subjecting me to 'Big Buck Bunny' each day for hours at a time.
OK, this movie is a bit different: it's licensed under "Creative Commons 3.0", so you are free to distribute it and to adapt/remix it. Nice, and it does have merit, as the visual and auditive part have been done with great attention to detail. Some people call it better than some of DreamWork's productions, I would call it on par. But still, that's a heck of a qualification for a labor of love and released for free.The down-side is that the movie is just uninteresting. It is just not funny, nor moving, nor interesting enough. Its plot is weak and predictable, and although the movie is 3D, the characters are truly flat. The only thing it has in abundance is cynicism. I'm not going to spoil the plot, but if you've seen one or two animation blockbusters, you've seen this one.
