In the cold of winter, an unexpected snowstorm poses an inescapable challenge. Faced with the icy cave entrance, the rabbits need to make plan about how to make it through the winter. The Rabbits invite their neighbors to join them so everyone is safe from the cold weather. We see the benefits of collaborating with your neighbor the greater good of the community.
This stop action short film is quite simple and quite lovely - both in terms of its visual appeal and its story. The bunnies and bird appear to be made out of white felt fabric or something similar, which gives them a very soft look that makes you want to cuddle with them. Their movements are pretty smooth, which is not easy with stop motion The background is very simple - with the tree and the forest around them. When the entrance to their home is iced over they realize that winter has truly struck and they scurry to finalize their preparations, and invite their neighbors to join them. Shades of teamwork and community come across here - all done with movement and background music as there is no narrative.
The film's message is about being prepared and being kind.
I give this film 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 8, plus adults. By Julie S, KIDS FIRST!
