Big Buck Bunny is the second open-license, Creative Commons animated film produced by the Blender Foundation, codenamed Peach. With a runtime of 10 minutes, Big Buck Bunny was entirely created using open-source software (such as Blender and Linux). The rendering was performed on a computer cluster using Sun Microsystems' Sun Grid, which also relies on open-source technologies (e.g., OpenSolaris, Sun Grid Engine, etc.). All production techniques and assets are fully disclosed to the public.
Unlike the previous project, Elephants Dream, this film contains no dialogue throughout. After its completion, the assets were repurposed for the Blender Foundation's official game project, Yo Frankie!, where the antagonist Frankie becomes the protagonist this time.
