Nothing restores faith in cartoon justice like a very large, very patient rabbit finally deciding he has had enough. The trailer alone is a masterclass in slow-burn comedy.

What to Watch For
Hit play, then keep an eye on the background. The best jokes in short films are almost never the loud ones.
- The reaction shot at the halfway mark
- The sound effect that should not be that funny
- The ending that nobody saw coming
Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.

Watch it twice. The second viewing is where the tiny details start winning.
