4500 Hungary Bunnies

Is it just me, or would this real-life news story make a great Nick Parks movie? Or maybe something darker by one of those trippy Japanese animators. (It's probably not a Tarantino flick.)

A truck with 4500 rabbits on the way to the slaughterhouse overturns in traffic, sending bunnies scurrying in every direction. A family of rabbits previously separated into different cages dodges tiny Hungarian cars while desperately trying to find each other in the crowd. Just when they think they've been spared, the rabbit hunters show up and start re-snatching bunnies and loading them onto new trucks. Will our rabbit heroes get away? Will they stay together? In the end, the story reports, 100 rabbits found freedom. Now what will become of them? It's a built-in sequel!

Does anybody know an agent? This could be big. The merchandising tie-ins alone would cover the distribution. Who can we get for voice talent? Hmm . . .
