Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Told in a brisk 40 minutes, this “Rabbit” sprinkles in some animation and works its gentle magic, even if it never quite approaches the emotional breadth of its source material. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Rachel Aroesti Guardian A pleasing shot of fuzzy sentimentality, destined to pry open even the huskiest heart. Rated: 3/5 Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) It also serves as a visual bridge between the John Lewis ad and actual Christmas TV... Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Alison Gillmor Winnipeg Free Press A slow, quiet, gentle short film. Dec 20, 2023 Full Review John Serba Decider ... It is emotionally deep and rich, and if you please, a gentle allegory for the rewards of living a substantive and altruistic life. Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch A perennial childhood favorite gets a fittingly cozy and touching adaptation [...] The switches [in animation style] allow the movie to play on both nostalgia and imagination, a dual-handed approach that deepens its emotional impact.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Dave C A snappy trip through a child's imagination and the joy it can bring, especially through periods of change, uncertainty, and scenarios which bring fear and suffering.
