A really curious film, as it looks to be a film that looks to really have happened almost. What I mean by that, is the stuff in early animal shorts tend to be a little on the cruel side. So, aside from one or two scenes, this was a great short made by a) obviously well trained animals or b) well drugged animals. All the animals seem to be getting along fine with the other. I honestly was waiting for the owl to swoop down and nab the rabbit, ripping it's head off. Now, wouldn't that be a great ending boys and girls?
