Oh, animals. Whether it's a kitten and a piglet becoming friends, a cute hamsater stuffing Cheez-Its into his cheeks, or legions of plague rats devastating the population of medieval Europe, those wacky critters are always up to somethin'!

Animal Antics takes a look at the day in the life of a cute little bunny the old-fashioned way: through the perspective of a half-delirious newsreel narrator, babbling words as quickly as he can in a vain attempt to voice every animal character while still providing a coherent story. Also, it's not so much a real "day in the life" as it is "a series of bizarre situations the film forces the bunny to deal with." The narrator also decides that the bunny -- again, a bunny, and thus a child -- is aggressively flirting with every animal that crosses his path. And not just animals, he's into dolls, too! It all culminates in a dollhouse date that'll have animal fans of all ages asking "why, why is this happening?"

Let's get weird with nature. Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Animal Antics!

I'm going to watch this again. When I watched it yesterday, I had just gotten up from a nap, and was sorta....grumpy.  That narrator was VERY irritating.   I'll watch again, and give a fair review.  I can say, the bunny was absolutely arodable.
