Bunny in Bunnyland (1915)
Nearly everyone nowadays knows what motion picture cartoons are. This one is a novel and pleasing way of displaying the comical adventures of the jovial Mr. Bunny in his journey through Bunnyland. The drawings for this 1,000-foot funmaker were made by Carl Lederer, and depict the adventures of Mr. Bunny starting from his arrival at the steamship pier from one of the ocean liners. On his way to his home in an automobile, he runs over a couple of pedestrians, is chased by the police, and going by the statue of Napoleon in the park, that noble soldier actually raises his hand to his hat in salute. A little side-play is furnished when we see a remarkably natural cat pounce on and capture a remarkably natural birdie. On his arrival in his home town, Bunny, while strolling through the streets, spies some luscious-looking pies placed on the window-sill by the cook of a neighboring house, and cautiously stealing up, abstracts one of them and runs off with it. The servant girl sees him and, climbing out of the window, chases him. She is persistent and Bunny even climbs to the roof of a barn to escape her. She then heaves the saucepan she is carrying at him and knocks him off the roof onto a pile of hay. He recovers, however, and she chases him again until, in desperation, he grabs a cow's tail and is soon tearing holes in the atmosphere behind the galloping animal. Over bridges, streams, hill and dale, they speed, until she suddenly turns, swallows him and bursts. The picture then dissolves out into a view of the artist, standing by piles of drawings as high as himself, while he shows you several of the drawings you have just witnessed, showing the slight changes from one drawing to another, and the method employed in making the cartoon.
