* AnimalMotifs: Aside from the obvious fact that the main character is an anthropomorphic rabbit, her mortality is symbolized through moth imagery. A moth fluttering into her and being attracted towards her lights is symbolic of death and when the bunny enters the afterlife, her spirit sprouts the wings of a moth.

''Bunny'' is a 1998 animated short film directed by Chris Wedge and produced by Creator/BlueSkyStudios.

An elderly bunny lives alone in her cabin in the woods. She is baking a cake, but she is being bothered by a persistent moth that keeps flitting about the light in her kitchen. She is especially annoyed when the moth bumps into her wedding picture (her husband has apparently died sometime in the backstory). The bunny eventually knocks the moth into the cake batter, which she then chucks into the stove. She sets the timer and falls asleep--and very odd things begin to happen.
