The Mandrake is a 2D animated short film from 2020, originally premiered at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival.

When a wicked witch (a badger) is unable to grow a mandrake she needs as an ingredient, she hires a local farmer named Herman (a rabbit) to grow it for her. Unbeknownst to Herman, when the mandrake sprouts it has the appearance and personality of a young child (albeit a green one).

The short can be seen on the official [=YouTube=] channel [[https://youtu.be/UhDsRp0EfbA here]].

!!''The Mandrake'' provides examples of:

* HappilyAdopted: By the end of the short, the mandrake had taken in the role of a son to Herman, and seems very happy about it.
* InterspeciesAdoption: An anthropomorphic rabbit adopts the mandrake he grew.
* PlantPerson: The mandrake is one, and was grown in a pot.
* RighteousRabbit: Herman is a hard-working farmer with a kind personality.
* SilenceIsGolden: There is no dialogue in this short.
* StockAnimalDiet: Herman isn’t seen eating, but his farm seems almost entirely dedicated to growing large carrots.

* AmbiguousGender: Neither the wolf or the rabbit are sexed in the short or by the artist.
* DiesWideOpen: There is a WhamShot of the wolf having bitten the rabbit's throat open, the rabbit's eyes still wide open. It's even more noticeable when the wolf takes the rabbit back to its den.
* GoryDiscretionShot: See the WhamShot entry.
* HowlOfSorrow: The wolf gives one after it kills the rabbit.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Much of the reason why the wolf feels the way that they do, as they're a predator and, thus, does what a predator does. They're not happy with the idea and feel much remorse.
* NoNameGiven: If the two characters even have names, they're never mentioned.
* PredatorPreyFriendship: Cruelly subverted. The wolf ''wants'' to be the rabbit's friend, but it eventually gives into its killing instinct.
* SnowMeansDeath: The wolf kills the rabbit in the wintertime.
* VegetarianCarnivore: Going by the lyrics, the wolf ''wishes'' it was vegetarian, however, being an obligate carnivore, it can't stop eating other animals.
* WhamShot: At 2:25-2:30, the wolf looks down at the rabbit with a vague expression, but the screen slowly warps and the rabbit looks more frightened. After a fade to black, it's shown that the wolf killed the rabbit after all.
