Rabbit (Burrow)

:For the character from the "Winnie the Pooh" franchise, see "Rabbit".
Rabbit is the protagonist of the 2020 Disney/Pixar animated short Burrow.
==Background==
Rabbit is a small brown rabbit living in the English countryside. She is shown to use a rough sketch (albeit childish) on her home using a piece of lined paper as a blueprint. When a mole and a mouse offered Rabbit the blueprints they had, she felt embarrassed and started digging across the underground countryside, making the matters worse. However, when she tried to explain her mistake for frantically digging across the burrow, the badger calls the other neighbors to help Rabbit build her home to which the other animals agree. Having evaded the rising water, the other animals helped Rabbit build her own home as seen on her sketch just as she feels satisfied of having her own home inspired by the drawing she did on her sketch.
==Appearances==
===Burrow===
Rabbit is first seen placing a mailbox on her burrow just before returning home just as she grabs a sketch she uses as a blueprint planning to design her own home. All of a sudden, she encounters a mole who enters her burrow who shows her a blueprint centered around an elaborate plan for a dwelling labeled "Mole & Mole" where he points to another mole fixing a multi-burrow nearby, followed by a mouse showing his own blueprint to her, showing Rabbit seven burrows where each of them contain mice, which Rabbit feels embarassed about this. Instead of accepting both of their offers, Rabbit digs underground to find a better hole to dig in, which she suddenly falls into a family of hedgehogs, which she decides not to get a treat from either one of them. Other neighbors which Rabbit encounters are toads, salamanders, ants and later a room occupied by a mysterious creature just as Rabbit counters digging further down. However, she feels exhausted after digging a lot, breaking her shovel in the process.
Deep underground, the determiend Rabbit looks at her plans to build her own room using her sketch. As she uses the broken shovel to hit a nearby spot, it causes the hollow to crack onto a layer of water, resulting water being sprayed, causing the water to rush across the underground burrow. She later approaches the same door she arrived earlier to encounter a badger, telling him about what she did earlier. Sad that her plans to build a room like she had on her sketch are not working, the badger then roars, calling in the other animals to help which they approach him. The other animals then hear a loud rumble in their burrow and upon hearing what Rabbit was warning the badger, they plan to escape from the water. One of the moles tells the other animals to stop while a salamander grabs the rabbit to safety. The other animals escape from the rising water. Upon seeing the sketch which Rabbit was planning to do, the other animals agree to build this room using her idea, just as the other animals manage to build Rabbit's own room. Rabbit feels satisfied that she has her own burrow, despite the mailbox on top of her burrow breaking constantly.
