Starz 30-Second Bunnies Marathon

Starz on Demand will run a Bunnie-palooza in August with Fans Voting on the next Flick to be "Bunnified"

Jul 25, 2006

Starz on Demand will show every episode of Jennifer Shiman's 30-Second Bunnies Theatre during August. Viewers get to vote on the next Bunny adaptation.

I've always liked Jennifer Shiman's 30-Second Bunnies Theatre, ever since I saw their version of Pulp Fiction ("Royale with cheese!"). Shiman's 30-second parodies of famous movies (featuring bunnies) are never less than hilarious. It also didn't hurt that I scored an interview with the Angry Alien herself, right here.

So why am I rabbiting (sorry, couldn't resist!) on like this? Well, Starz on Demand announced that they will hold a Bunny-palooza this August, where viewers can watch all of Shiman's parodies together.

(Of course, those of you with a computer and a DSL modem can happily watch them all here. But that'll be our secret).

Not only that, Starz viewers can vote on which movie will be "bunnified" next. The options are:

"You will believe bunnies can fly ... and play golf ... and be "King of the World" as Starz On Demand announces Bunny-Palooza, a special opportunity throughout August to view the entire series of the channel's own highly popular bunny parodies. For the first time ever, Starz On Demand viewers will have the chance to watch all of the 30-second Bunny Theatre re-enactments, including the premiere of the much anticipated Office Space parody, at the same time in the same place: Starz On Demand. Bunny-Palooza will feature all of creator Jennifer Shiman's masterpieces including Superman, Brokeback Mountain, Pulp Fiction, Caddyshack and Titanic.

"The bunnies and I have been debating which film to tackle next, and we finally decided - after sharing a carrot - that we should let the viewers decide," said Shiman. "Bunny-Palooza on Starz On Demand, lets them catch up on what the bunnies have already done before deciding what they'll do next.

"The bunny spoofs kicked off in 2004 when Starz commissioned Shiman to create bunny-featured shorts of Freddy vs. Jason, Scream and Texas Chainsaw Massacre as part of its "Hare-Raising Halloween Marathon." Since then, Starz and Shiman have partnered to develop a new bunny parody premiering each month. Each parody debuts exclusively on Starz On Demand and later on Shiman's website www.angryalien.com. In all, the 30-second re-enactments have been viewed more than 18 million times.

"Bunny-Palooza is perfect for Starz On Demand because the service is all about giving our subscribers choices, and we've seen they choose to watch the bunnies again and again," said William Hoagland, vice president of on demand services.
