O Coelho que Venceu o Medo

Abstract

Here is the Portuguese version of the English The Rabbit Who Overcame Fear from the same year. As I comment there, this is the standard tale of the timid rabbit who hears the thud of a ripe mango dropping near him and thinks it is the end of the world. The accent here is on the altruism of the lion who stops the animals from running off a cliff into the sea. I do not like Meller's simple art style.
