The cast: Rumple (the rabbit), Florence Henderson (Brady Bunch),

The story: A lonely foster child (Sophie Bolen) finds a lost, injured rabbit (Rumple) in the woods on Christmas Eve. The rabbit is nursed back to health by the child under the supervision of the “bunny lady” (Florence Henderson), who runs a rabbit rescue in an old barn behind her Michigan farmhouse. Both the rabbit and the young girl learn about love and belonging.
The buzz: In early 2011, The Christmas Bunny was awarded the Pearl Award by the International Family Film Fest. The Pearl Award is given to the film that “best exemplifies the purity and enduring strength of the family bond.”
This film presents companion rabbits in a very positive light, and
contains a lot of really good husbandry info that (with the exception of lifting rabbits by scruffing) is very much in line with what HRS teaches.
The end of the movie will contain two public service announcements: one to promote the fostering/adoption of children who need homes, and the other to provide info about companion rabbits.
We will also be selling DVDs for $15 at the movie screening and afterwards.
Also, at the screening we will have available the 2012 Missouri HRS
Rabbit Rescue Calendar. $12. Both items will also be available
for mail order by check or PayPal through our website. $5 shipping per 2 items.
As well as the usual movie concessions sold by the theater, we will
be selling homemade muffins, baked goods and hot drinks (coffee, tea, cocoa, cider).
Also available for sale will be gifts for rabbits as well as for humans
who love rabbits.
If you would like to volunteer to help with the event, or provide
baked goods for us to sell at the event, please let me know.
In Washington, DC Rabbitwise will be screening this film on December 3rd.
