Red Rabbit from Egmont Mayer on Vimeo.

This is a lovely animated short by Egmont Mayer that depicts the life of a lonely man that keeps a giant rabbit as a pet in his small apartment. If my dog Joey were a rabbit, he’d be this rabbit for sure — clumsy, big, and cute! [via]

I wonder why the short is called “Red Rabbit” though. Is there some sort of cultural reference I’m missing here? Enlighten me if there is.
