Save Ralph
Directed by Spencer Susser.
Ralph, a bunny being interviewed for a documentary, goes through his daily routine as a « tester » in a lab.
Ralph-the-rabbit is a tester—one of untold thousands of rabbits and other animals used each year in government-required chemical-poisoning tests for cosmetics and their ingredients. “Save Ralph” combines empathetic storytelling with the magic of stop-motion animation and performances by an A-list multinational cast in the next phase of Humane Society International’s global campaign to outlaw cosmetic animal testing once and for all.
