Big Buck Bunny (code-named Peach) is a short computer-animated comedy film by the Blender Institute, part of the Blender Foundation. Like the foundation's previous film Elephants Dream, the film was made using Blender, a free software application for animation made by the same foundation. It was released as an open-source film under Creative Commons License Attribution 3.0.
Following Elephants Dream, the short movie is the first project by the Blender Foundation to be created by the Blender Institute, a division of the foundation set up specifically to facilitate the creation of open content films and games. The film was funded by the Blender Foundation, donations from the Blender community, pre-sales of the film's DVD and commercial sponsorship. Both the final product and production data, including animation data, characters and textures are released under the Creative Commons Attribution License. It was rendered on Sun Microsystems' grid computing facility Sun Grid.
Project Peach was the Blender Foundation’s second open movie. The movie started production in October 2007 and premiered April 2008. The targets this time were to create good hair/fur editing and rendering, more advanced support for cartoon characters, and improve performance with complex outdoors environments with grass, trees and leaves.
Big Buck Bunny was the first project created in the Blender Institute‘s studio in Amsterdam. A giant, gentle rabbit finds his happy morning walk being disturbed by rodents who kill his two favorite butterflies. In rage, he sets up a masterful plan to avenge the deaths of the butterflies.
