Big Buck Bunny is a 2008 short computer-animated comedy film created by the Blender Institute, which is part of the Blender Foundation. It was the second "open movie" project produced by the foundation, following Elephants Dream.
Here are some key details about Big Buck Bunny:
Story: The film follows a large and gentle rabbit named Big Buck Bunny as he encounters and eventually gets revenge on three bullying rodents: Franky the flying squirrel, Rinky the red squirrel, and Gimera the chinchilla. The rodents harass other forest creatures, which culminates in them attacking Big Buck Bunny himself, leading to his elaborate and comical retaliation.
Production: Like Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny was made using Blender, a free and open-source 3D creation software developed by the Blender Foundation. The goal of these open movie projects is to showcase the capabilities of Blender and to contribute to its development through the production process.
Release: The film premiered in Amsterdam on April 10, 2008, and was later made available for free download online under a Creative Commons Attribution license. This means that the film and all production files are open for anyone to use, share, and adapt, as long as they provide attribution.
Technical Aspects: Big Buck Bunny was a significant step forward in terms of visual quality and complexity compared to Elephants Dream. It focused on improving fur and hair rendering, cartoon character animation, and handling complex outdoor environments.
Reception: The film was well-received for its impressive visuals, comedic timing, and the fact that it was created entirely with open-source tools. It has become a popular demonstration of Blender's capabilities.
Legacy: Big Buck Bunny has been influential in the open-source animation community and has inspired further open movie projects by the Blender Foundation, such as Sintel, Tears of Steel, and Cosmos Laundromat. The main character, Big Buck Bunny, has also appeared in other short animations promoting Blender and Creative Commons licenses.
