Gasp! Curse you, you spoiled it for me! Now I can’t buy the dvd and watch it for the first time in the comfort of my own home!

Once again, the humble germs help Earth out of a hare-y situation. Really, when I see animations like this, I become just rabbit with enthusiasm.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, of course. I hope everyone is going on to view all of the angryalien.com cartoons (including the Titanic cartoon, which just happens to involve an iceberg).

I wasn’t able to get the sound to play. Did they make any jokes about the constellation Lepus?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Great. I have a friend who did several of these in audio. 30 second wrap-ups of a movie. He did Wolfman and Citizen Kane. The bunnies are great.

I hate those long, drawn-out endings. Don’t they have anything faster?
