Warner Bros. will be releasing a deluxe DVD offering of Watership Down in November of this year to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the film’s release. Watership Down is a great story for anyone, not just a bunny fan. If you’ve never read the book, this summer would be a great time to get around to it.
Big Buck Bunny is a recently released film about a large bunny and his run in with some pesky forest creatures. What is interesting about this film is that it was released online in addition to DVD under a Creative Commons License, making it free to distribute. So go and watch it. If you like it you can purchase the DVD.

In perusing the site, I also found the section entitled, Amy’s Diary (Dairy), to be hilarious. While it doesn’t feature bunnies, it is worth clicking the entry dates. You’ll encounter narrations and illustrations that accompany excerpts from Amy Forstadt’s REAL third grade diary.

Canadian artist Chris Reid has an art exhibition out at the Two Rivers Gallery in Prince George, British Columbia, entitled, “The Good, The Bad, and The Bunny.” Hanging from the ceiling are about 70 colorful sock bunnies. According to the artist, “It’s a loose narrative, so the idea is that you can make up your mind about what the bunnies are and what they’re doing. There’s this sense of motion, perhaps running, perhaps one against the other.”
