19989 min 9 secFilm: Animation, Children's film, Fiction
Direction: John Weldon
Production: Marcy PageDavid Verrall
Script: John Weldon
A short, funny and irreverent animated film. Frank is no ordinary rabbit -- he's a highly intelligent "wrabbit" with a philosophical world-view that affords him great comfort. Unfortunately, his outlook is challenged when his food source -- a farmer's carrots -- disappear. But his quick wit allows him to survive and prosper. In Frank the Wrabbit, filmmaker John Weldon uses his raw, innovative computer style to tell a deceptively simple and accessible tale with a subversive twist.
