30-Second Bunnies Theatre is a Flash cartoon series featuring films re-enacted by anthropomorphic animated bunnies in 30 seconds. The series is produced by Angry Alien Productions, the one-woman company of creator Jennifer Shiman.
The series debuted in 2004, when Shiman sought to create a humorous web series. She unveiled a version of The Exorcist, re-enacted by animated bunnies in 30 seconds. It received an overwhelmingly positive response online from a global audience, prompting Shiman to create more re-enactments. In 2005, the "bunny troupe" was commissioned by Starz! to make new shorts. Each Starz-commissioned re-enactment premiered on Starz on Demand before moving online. The series take on Star Wars was featured on CNN on April 16, 2006.
Angry Alien Productions released a selection of the shorts on DVD on October 20, 2009. Previously, the Titanic short was included on that film's 4-Disc Special Collector's Edition DVD, released in 2005.
In 2007, Crackle became a distributing partner.[1]
In 2008, the site won two Webby Awards for Online Film and Video/Animation,[2] as well as the People's Voice award in that category.
On June 13, 2010, Shiman announced on the 30-Second Bunnies Theatre Website[3] that, after six years and 68 shorts, she was placing the series on hiatus to move on to other pursuits. The final short at the time was a re-enactment of the film Evil Dead II.
As of October 2011, Shiman completed three more re-enactments: Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, Freaks (1932) and Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat.
Shiman teamed up with FEARnet in 2012 to make more horror movie shorts. The first season of shorts is complete,[4] and the second season is in production as of September 16, 2013.
In mid-March 2014, Angry Alien Productions ventured into new bunny territory by re-enacting the life of Kevin Spacey (with bunny voices by Kevin Spacey himself) to celebrate the launch of his new website.[5] In Spring 2015 the staff of Angry Alien Productions informed that they would indefinitely stop making re-enactments after Blade Runner.[6]
