"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.
