I saw this film when I was 6 with my younger cousin, and we both really loved it. It basically follows the story of Happy Rabbit, who wants to become tougher and therefore adopts a new persona: Scrappy. 'Scrappy' and his friends have adventures while avoiding the taunts of Scrappy's older brothers, but the tables are turned when Scrappy's brothers get captured by a local farmer who sees them stealing his crops. Scrappy and his friend rescue them, and Scrappy realises that he doesn't need to pretend to be somebody else to be cool, and goes back to being Happy. It's not like Watership Down: here the animals all wear clothes and act like humans. The storyline isn't that great in my opinion, but the cute land that they live in with the lively intro music captured my 6 year old self. So if you want something to keep the younger ones entertained, this is worth looking at.

TheLittleSongbird29 July 2012From the title I knew what to expect, good, clean, solid, colourful and undemanding fun. And Happy The Littlest Bunny does exactly that, while not among Jetlag's best, it is nowhere near one of their worst either. The writing may get corny at times, though not as distractingly bad as in other outings. Besides most of it is sweet and well-meaning, with no extreme cheesiness or sappiness. I did enjoy the story on the whole, structurally it may be a little thin, but the sprightly pace, its smooth telling and its cuteness and charm more than make up for things. As does the moral, it is a good one and doesn't feel preachy or shoe-horned in, something I think adults will appreciate. The animation is colourful and well drawn, while the music is another big surprise, whimsical and catchy as I like it. Heaven Here on Earth is not one of my favourite Jetlag songs, but when it comes to the makings of a good song(memorable melodies, good lyrics and a succinct structure), it ticks the right boxes, while TROUBLE has a real sense of urgency and As Long as You Have a Heart is very touching. The characters are very cute and endearing(then again I do with bunnies), and you do care for them and their situation, while the voice acting is good and not too overly-cutesy. All in all, lovely and very well done. 8/10 Bethany Cox

erminahotmail24 December 2023Then This film was put on the market a video was created by Jetlag Productions So this film is about a rabbit named happy but he got annoyed by his two brothers and he just can't bear all this but after a squirrel them convinces you to changepersonality being the most wasted rabbit in the whole forest is so now he makes you call him benny and he really does a lot of pranks to pay off all those who have treated him badly So this film I really liked a lot and as you read in the title is truly thebest of all the films by Jetlag Productions because this one really has much more beautiful moments and then some beautiful morals especially for the ending the animation was also beautiful This film was truly a beautiful animated film to compete in my opinion Theenti type of animated film has for example when Benny when he still wanted to make his two brothers pay but he really allowed them gods to make him capture the owner of the gross bellum but I immediately thought that he was not really bad because he is drawn very good to be abad and in fact it wasn't and I tell you that this film is truly one of my favorite animated films of all time. Even if it lasts 45 minutes it is still one of the most beautiful and this film together with Curly: The Littlest Puppy and Black Beauty are the my top three from Jetlag Productions forconclude the vote 10.

zsofikam15 October 2015I was able to tell from the title that Happy The Littlest Bunny would be a shower of cuteness. But if you ask me, cuteness is not enough to carry a movie. I decided to take a look for myself. One of Happy The Littlest Bunny's biggest assets is its animation, which has a storybook quality to it. I also liked the message of "size matters not", the warm and caring figure of the mother, and just how innocent the whole thing feels. This charming little gem tells the story of how Happy gets teased not only by his brothers, but by every other animal except his chipmunk friend Chippy because of his size, all narrated by an Uncle Remus-esque bird. Happy and Chippy decide to get back at Happy's brothers by pulling a scary prank on them and Happy comes to the conclusion that meanness will make up for smallness. He eventually learns his lesson though. I'm sure that children will enjoy it as well, just like me. It's fairly short and sweet with clear morals and minimal conflict, able to be enjoyed by a child. But at the same time it manages to appeal to me in its gentleness.
