Plot outline


The whole story starts off kinda as a generic cat-and-mouse between the fox and the rabbit.

By day, the rabbit is outside frolicking in the field.
By evening, the fox comes out and chases the rabbit.
By night, the hungry fox finds other, less substantial food.

A few days in, faces appear on the sun and moon as they rise.
The sun starts to enjoy the company of the rabbit.
The moon takes the fox to be his companion.

The moon begins to feel sorry for the hungry fox, and gives him tips to catch the rabbit.
The sun finds out about this and warns the rabbit... Whom doesn't understand / believe / care, and so just carries on as usual.

A few days later a trap has been set.
The rabbit falls prey but escapes relatively easily.
A new trap is set again.
Same outcome.

Soon after, fox begins not to chase the rabbit, instead is seen collecting sticks and twine.
The moon has an evil grin.
The sun looks more and more nervous.
The rabbit seems unscathed / happy not to be chased.

The moon tells the sun of foxes new plan.
The sun, believing this could be the end of the rabbit, comes up with a plan.
He tells the rabbit to find the fox and that he will eat the moon on the upcoming days.

The rabbit, thinking it a game, does as requested.
The fox takes no notice.
The moon laughs.

The next night, the rabbit continues to say it.
The fox looks up to see the moon slightly smaller.
After conversing with the moon, the fox is assured it's nothing.

Days go by...
The moon gets smaller
The fox continues his collecting
The rabbit continues his story
The sun gets more and more nervous

Until...
CRASH!
The rabbit is found to be in a trap.
The fox comes out in the evening to take his prey.
The rabbit claims to have finished eating the moon.
If fox is to eat him, his family would surely eat the fox.

So the fox waits for the moon to arrive.
He never arrives.
The fox runs away.
In the morning, the rabbits family helps him out of the trap and all is good.

The sun moves back into place.
The moon is upset because fox is gone.
The sun assures moon he'll be back.
But the fox never did come back.

To this day the moon is circling the world to try find the fox...
Hence we get the moons phases.


... I'll add proper pictures at some point.

Forget the scene...

. Earlier I talked about how I made the background for the Fox-and-Rabbit-animation-to-be. I claimed I would post the animation. But I forgot. Having had this pointed out to me, I've added it now. So here ya'll go :D .Click here to view animation. .

Roll the titles!

Not really titles, but here is a quick overview of what the "Day" indicators will look like... For those interested, during the movie, in what day it's gotten to. And click the image to see it animated... You may need the newest quicktime, or else here's a link to a youtube video...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKK_q9NDpHQ
