THE RUNAWAY BUNNY brings the illustrations of Clement Hurd and the poetry of Margaret Wise Brown to animated life for the first time. Featuring a restless little bunny who dreams of leaving home, the film is an exploration of love and childhood. Woven throughout the story are songs that accompany the bunny on his imaginary, magical adventures into the world and back home to the comfort of his mother&#8217;s love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;THE RUNAWAY BUNNY is a timeless classic about youthful independence and the strength of a mother&#8217;s love,&#8221; said Billy Wee, SVP, Original Animation, HBO Max. &#8220;Amy Schatz has lovingly brought this story to vivid life with an incredible group of collaborators.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>THE RUNAWAY BUNNY features the following songs:<\/p><div id=\"morty-189986817\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00b7 Mariah Carey&#8217;s brand-new reinterpretation of her #1 hit song &#8220;Always Be My Baby&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Kelly Rowland &#8211; Bob Dylan&#8217;s &#8220;Make You Feel My Love&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Rosanne Cash &#8211; &#8220;You Are My Sunshine&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Ziggy Marley &#8211; &#8220;What a Wonderful World&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Rufus Wainwright &#8211; Billy Joel&#8217;s &#8220;Lullabye, Goodnight My Angel&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Kimya Dawson &#8211; &#8220;You Are My Baby&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Michael Kiwanuka &#8211; &#8220;Home Again&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Tracee Ellis Ross performs &#8220;Song of the Runaway Bunny,&#8221; the never-before-released song written by Margaret Wise Brown based on a Proven\u00e7al love ballad which inspired Brown to write this book.<\/p>\n<p>THE RUNAWAY BUNNY is produced and directed by Amy Schatz, whose work includes &#8220;Goodnight Moon &amp; Other Sleepytime Tales&#8221; and the &#8220;Classical Baby&#8221; series, currently available on HBO MAX.
