Angry Alien productions : the famous 30-second bunnies

30-Second Bunnies Theatre is an original and Webby Award-winning Flash cartoon series featuring films re-enacted by anthropomorphic animated bunnies in 30 seconds. The series is produced by Angry Alien Productions. The series debuted in 2004, when website creator Jennifer Shiman was looking to create a funny web series. She created a version of The Exorcist, re-enacted by animated bunnies in only 30 seconds. It was a huge hit, prompting Shiman and company to create more "30 second bunny movies". The clips set here, are for sampling reasons. For the full gallery visit Angry Alien Productions.



Some words from Shiman’s bio : “I've been drawing since 1976 or thereabouts. I have an undergraduate degree in International Business and a graduate degree in Media Studies. After grad school, I took a sabbatical while working part-time to make my first animated short. I started my sole proprietorship Angry Alien Productions in 1998 in order to earn income through more creative projects”.







In 2005, the "bunny troupe" was commissioned by Starz! to make new shorts. Each Starz-commissioned re-enactment has premiered on Starz on Demand as well as Starz Ticket before moving online. The series take on Star Wars was also featured on CNN on April 16, 2006. 30-Second Bunnies Theatre has won in 2008 two Webby Awards for Online Film and Video/Animation, plus the People's Voice award in that category.
