man vs bunny

Kung fu bunny 2 - a cute clip from a 25-year old Chinese animator.

Kung fu bunny 1 is cute too. For those who read Chinese, Vincent7645 has a blog and what seems to be a Chinese YouTube page.

Good use of music, but the animation seems to lack energy. His stop-motioned self has plenty, though, so I don't know why he doesn't draw the bunny as more alive and fluid.

I liked the animation. Running on the globe under the rapid-fire stapler assault was cool, and of course the underwater straw fart.

This was pretty damn cool. It's a little Duck Amuck (with the tables turned), a little Bugs 2.0 for a new century. Not a bad start at all.

Oh, and it has now been revealed that bunny farts are one of the world's deadliest weapons. I appreciate the warning.

maudlin, I can't believe you didn't already know that about bunny farts. For helpful future reference: The Official Guide to Rodent Farts.

I don't know, I'm not sure we need a Bugs 2.0.

I loved it!
Or, rather: that cartoom brought me more joyes!

I'll be showing this in my animation class, which starts this very day. Thanks for the link!

Look, if he's just going to make cartoons about everything that happened to me last week I'm going to need some royalties or something.

I like those a lot. The 4th wall element is maybe a little overdone these days, but the character's really well-defined.

A bit subtlety that non-Chinese speakers would miss: when the guy fished up a monkey holding the moon, it's a reference to the Chinese idiom, 海底捞月, since the book is a dictionary of classic Chinese idioms.

Kung fu FUNNY! (thanks)

I was about to comment on the ^ kung fu baby, too. Yi-yi-yi, that's freaky.
