Bunny -- Towards the Light

From the animation studio who brought about the classic animated films "Ice Age", comes Bunny, a wonderful and silly story about baking a cake. Well, that's what it would be if you looked merely at the surface of the film. The film can likely appear to be a silly film about a bunny who's trying to bake a cake while trying to keep a fly away from them. The story starts to take a turn after the bunny who is most likely a she reminisces on her past, and the life she had with her late husband. After getting so frustrated with this fly who keeps flying toward the light in her kitchen, she swings at it with her spoon and it falls into the batter that would become a cake in a matter of sixty minutes. However, she doesn't care and slams the pan into the oven and starts her timer. While beginning to reminisce again, time seems to pass extremely quickly and she hears the oven making a ruckus. She reaches the over, and when she opens it, the cake is gone and the same fly from before is flying within its interior; behind it an immense glowing light. Intrigued by the light, the bunny crawls into the oven, which ends up becoming a tunnel toward the bright light. The tunnel leads into what seemed like an empty plane where other flies are flying toward the light. The bunny is filled with awe as she seemed to be taken away toward the light. In the last clip, the photograph of her and her husband is shown as two flies hit their faces. This seems to illuminate the reality and inevitability of death, as well as the acceptance of death. While many characters in other pieces of media go "Don't go towards the light" in the case of Bunny, she is very accepting of her death. She embraces the light, as she moves on to whatever lay within the light. 

It was hard to see at first, but then it became a bit more understandable as the film went on. I believe the film was very whimsical as it began to unravel. When the truth began to reveal itself, my mouth gaped open as I realized that this film was not about baking cake, but about coming to terms with mortality.
