Another quickie TD-ish quiz....

[RandyG]

Name a feature-length, theatrically-released movie in which a member of the mammalian grandorder glires -- rodents + lagomorphs (rabbits, hares, and pikas) -- has a role with some significance. For example, if in a park scene a rabbit just runs across in view, that would not be significant, but if the rabbit jumped into somebody's lap and started talking, now that would be significant. Several dozen answers....

Post your answers in this thread for all to see, but limit it initially to 3 to a customer. And no research.

To get things started: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Spoiler: show

Harvey
Bambi

[BobF]

Ratatouille
Space Jam
Does "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" count?

[TheGrandPiano]

Hop?

[Peggles]

Night of the Lepus (I kid you not - look it up)

[katiedidwhat]

Watership Down
The Secret of NIMH
An American Tail

I like animation, okay?

[billy pilgrim]

charlie
the green mile
harvey
if invisible doesn't count, mouse hunt

[the_phil]

I'd say Monty Python counts. Why else would they have needed the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?

Ice Age
The Great Mouse Detective
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

[Turd Ferguson]

Donnie Darko!

(um... if that counts)

[RandyG]

Does "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" count?

Aw, c'mon. You have to ask?

charlie

Not familiar with this one, and there are an awful lot of IMDB listings for "Charlie." I'm sure it's a good one, but which Charlie are you talking about?

Night of the Lepus (I kid you not - look it up)

One of the all time worst. Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, DeForest Kelley and Rory Calhoun all at career lows.

Donnie Darko!
(um... if that counts)

Certainly. There's no movie without the rabbit. I just watched it again recently. Gets more interesting, yet stranger every time I see it.

[Vanya]

Fatal Attraction

And no one has said

Spoiler: show

Alice in Wonderland, or Willard, or Ben

?

[goforthetie]

There's always the Narnia & most of the Harry Potter movies...

For something more obscure, how about Coraline?

[Turd Ferguson]

Donnie Darko!
(um... if that counts)

Certainly. There's no movie without the rabbit. I just watched it again recently. Gets more interesting, yet stranger every time I see it.

Wasn't sure if Frank is considered a "real" bunny for these purposes I've been meaning to re-watch the film for awhile. Just took a look at the wikipedia page and learned that Seth Rogen and Ashley Tisdale were both in it (in minor roles), would not have guessed that.

[Paucle]

Local Hero.

I know it's significant, because it had a name. It had two names. It was Mac's pet.
And it was delicious.

[Volante]

Let's see how obscure I can get and still qualify...

Mission: Impossible

Spoiler: show

Jean Reno stabs a rat in the CIA vents (the rat's walking made the sound meter go up)

[lisa0012]

The Great Mouse Detective
Dumbo
The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under
Cinderella

I can do Disney on this for awhile, I'm sure...

Edit: I can't follow rules. Sorry, I got too excited

[lisa0012]

Oh sorry, I can't follow rules, erasing this entry and hoping hardly anyone saw it

[MarkBarrett]

Harry the rabbit is great in Jerry Lewis' The Geisha Boy.

[Volante]

Meh, I'll blow my other two on easy ones:

Caddyshack

Spoiler: show

Gopher.

Groundhog Day

Spoiler: show

Water Buffalo. What?

[Rex Kramer]

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle

And how can anyone forget White Wilderness?
