After one of their number has a premonition of impending doom, a group of rabbits leave their warren and go in search of a new home; along the way, they face numerous dangers (men, birds, cats, dogs, foxes, and their fellow rabbits), in this surprisingly violent, sensitively voiced, and expressionistically animated allegorical gem.
