Six Pix: Rabbits

Six Pix presents a sextet of movie posters representing a particular actor/director/genre. You pick the one you feel is visually the most artistic or best sums up the film.

In the posters of Six Pix this time we get to know our rabbits.

Included are: Harvey (1950); Alice in Wonderland (2010); Donnie Darko (2001); Watership Down (1978); Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988); and Hop (2011).

Hop is a sweet tasty treat for all senses. The Swedish poster of Harvey has star James Stewart fondly gazing up at his imaginary friend who, appropriately enough, is wrapped around a lamppost. Meanwhile, Donnie’s (schizophrenic) thoughts and experiences manifest themselves in the image of Frank the Bunny. It is Watership Down though that best conveys its movie’s dark themes and heroic struggles.

Which one do you think is the winner? Should I have included something else? Tell me about it below! (And please feel free to suggest future topics.)

    My vote goes to “Donnie Darko,” a brilliantly dark poster for a brilliantly dark film.

    How could it be anything else but Harvey?  It was Jimmy Stewarts personal favorite of all his movies according to a documentary feature he did for the film years ago!  Interesting to note  that the poster is foreign in origin too…and it brings to mind the many memorable lines from the movie, none of which come to me now, unfortunately, except for ”Akron, beer and poor, poor thing”… ;)

    “Harvey” and “Watership Down” were both excellent,though entirely different,films.

    One film left off the list was the horrendous “Night Of The Lepus”,about giant killer rabbits!

    HARVEY!

    Alice in Wonderland

  • sue2012

    Even though I worked on “Roger Rabbit”, I vote for “HARVEY”! (Sorry, SS and Amblin)

  • Erny325

    “Harvey” hands-down – could there be any other?

  • Akkathens

    “Harvey” without a doubt!

  • Chasper

    Donnie Darko…the poster gives me the creeps, just as the rabbit in the movie and the movie in general

    “Harvey.”

  • Vincent Desjardins

    As an illustrator, I have always loved the image on the ‘Watership Down,’ poster.

    The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland is my pick!

  • N Debrabant

    Harvey, hands down.

  • Lou

    Harvey 

  • Barb

    –what else-  Harvey. One of my favorite movies.

    i have a soft spot for Harvey, an oldie that i’ve loved every since i was a kid, but as far as the poster goes, i don’t think that one would be tops for me. the Watership Down image is pretty powerful and indicative of the mood of the film. Roger Rabbit has a creative and fun look… but i’ll go with Watership Down as the best of the bunch in the artistic dept.

  • cam

    don’t forget,folks… you’re voting for the best POSTER, the image itself, not the movie. after reading some comments i felt this needed to be made clearer. 

  • NATRAY

    HARVEY

  • DGlover

    I like Hop the best it is very colorful and the rabbit looks cute.  Alice in Wonderland and Donnie Darko are too creepy.

  • The fatt furby

    I pick the WHITE RABBIT…ALICE IN WONDERLAND 2010

  • Ronald A. Wood

    Donnie Darko!!!

  • Carol

    Harvey.. and his good friend, Elwood P. Dowd. :)

  • N Debrabant

    I voted for Harvey not because I liked the movie (Which I  Do) but because I truly thought it had the best poster. In my own humble opinion.

  • Oneuglybunny

    One vote for Watership Down.  It quotes Richard Adams’ original text, and conveys the concept that these are more than mindless fluffy bunnies.

  • Tango0

    I like the “Hop” poster best for visual effect

  • WT

    I selected Hop because the colors are uplifting and the bunny is cute.  I relate bunnies to children’s pets; therefore, they should be depicted as cute and cuddly not dark and schizo.  Harvey, by the way, is the only James Stewart movie that I absolutely HATE.

  • cam

    i know people who collect movies but never bother watching the special features (interviews, behind the scenes, making of, commentary). that’s NUTS!  :)   i LIVE for those extras and always make a point of watching them shorty after finishing a movie. i figure in my next life i will be a film-maker and all this knowledge will go to good use. ha!

  • Wayne P.

    How about the Nick Park claymation classic:  Wallace & Gromit, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit?

  • Josep23006

    Though ‘Harvey’ is the better movie, the poster spoils the essence of the invisible rabbit; I go with ‘Watership Down’ because it captures the idea that this is not a movie about fuzzy little creatures frolicking in the meadow with sweet smelling skunts and cute deer.

  • NSG

    Love the tipsy hare from Harvey, which may depict Elwood’s condition.
