so you should know that I'm strongly biased in favor of this lovely low-budget, student-made animated children's short film because I helped out on it as an assistant director, concept artist, script editor, and songwriter of two of the songs (plus, my sister wrote and directed the entire project; my brother was a fellow assistant director as well as a producer, storyboard artist, and animator; my cousin did the foley; and two of my best friends voice two of the bunnies).
BUT: you should also know that, my personal investment in the project aside, this funny, wholesome labor…
An 8 year old girl runs away from her home to her backyard and befriends a family of rabbits.
Unplanned by me but this came recommend by one of my followers Evan, whom I follow on Instagram. This was quite the delightful watch. I've been seeing a few low budget animated movies lately and this is one of the better ones I've seen by a wide margin. The animation was good and it's simple message of acceptance was really sweet. Props to everyone involved and a solid recommendation for those of my followers to check this out when you can. It's free on YouTube so no excuses.
Appearently, there's a sequel coming so I'm keen on seeing that as well.
Biased cause I was an animator for this but so proud of the work I did and how far this short went :-)
Honored to be assistant director/storyboard artist/cleanup animator on this beautiful and wholesome children’s musical short written and director by my sister Mia! It was amazing to work on this with my siblings and 40+ other people across the globe. Can’t wait to get started on the sequel!!
💚💜🧡
Genuinely made me tear up: the duet between the girl and bunny - ugh, emotions! Really well done animation and voice over, and a really fun concept!
