The Glass Rabbit

About This Movie

The Glass Rabbit is a deeply poignant animated piece set against the backdrop of late World War II Tokyo. It's not just about the war itself; it’s about the human experience during such a harrowing time. The animation style has this rough, almost handmade quality that really draws you into Toshiko's world, making the loss and suffering feel all the more intimate. Pacing is reflective, allowing moments of silence to resonate with the audience, which is pretty powerful. The themes of loss and resilience are practically woven into the fabric of the film. Practical effects add a layer of tangibility that feels important, especially for a war story. The performances, though animated, have a raw emotional depth that lingers long after the credits roll.
