Not to forget the funny, aristocratic chickens from "A la Française", an animated short film from Supinfocom Arles. The project won the 2013 animago AWARD in the "Best Character Animation" category.

For those for whom Easter is more of a colorful and sugary-sweet celebration, there was no getting around "Hop: Easter Bunny or Superstar" in 2011:
The animation and VFX work on the feature film was produced by Rhythm & Hues.
Cats together with rabbits also always create added value.
And here you can learn about culturally relevant rabbits in media formats. From Bugs Bunny and Donnie Darko to Mr. Floppy.
And, last but not least, the Houdini spaghetti rabbit by Raphael, which he made with the Sop Solver.
