Don't forget the scene where the rabbit warren is gassed. Imagine you are ~five and you see that for the first time:)

What really hit me was the haunting, archetypal imagery surrounding the rabbit mythology and the Black Rabbit of Inle. When you are a kid just figuring out that you and your loved ones will die and you see that kind thing it has an impact.

Honestly, the emotional music and expressionist death imagery combine to create almost an initiation-like experience for the unsuspecting kids who sit down to watch a cartoon about bunnies!

Good point and you're not the first to point this out to me today. I may have to amend my thesis...
