Those of you who missed British animator Run Wrake’s award-winning short film, Rabbit, on the festival circuit can now purchase it on disc. The numbered, limited edition DVD features an 8-page booklet and a number of other extras and can be ordered at www.runwrake.com/shop.
An off-the-wall morality tale, Rabbit evokes science text book illustrations from the 1960s to tell the story of two young children who become consumed with greed when they slaughter a rabbit for its fir and find inside it a golden idol with special powers.
Rabbit was nominated for a BAFTA and won awards for Best Short Film and Best Film at the Cutting Edge at the British Animation Awards. The film also received the Special Distinction prize from the jury at this year’s Annecy fest, in addition to winning the Grand Prix at the Imago Film Festival in Fundao, Portugal, the McLaren award for Animation at the Edinburgh Film Festival and the Best Animation Award at the Palm Springs Short Film Festival.
