My, what floppy ears you have...

And what lovely symbolism...

And oh... what an adorable tattoo you would make, Velveteen Rabbit...

Is it just me, or does he look really sad in that picture?

I loved this cartoon! We had it on VHS. My sister was a tad bit more obsessed with it than I was, but it is definitely a classic. SO SAD when the toys are being destroyed at the end.

he looks really sad in the whole movie because he's an inanimate object until he becomes real. I'd probably have the artist give a slight curve of the mouth to at least make him look thoughtful though.

Yes! This still is from the version I watched as a kid. I watched it again a few years ago, possibly again even more recently... I just love that movie so much. If you click on the "velveteen" tag I have another post with a quote from the horse that always makes me teary-eyed

I love this idea~ it will be such a sweet and meaningful tattoo. :)

I'm trying to remember, now, if I ever saw the movie. I know I at least read (or was read to) a written version of some sort or another...

I still have a VHS copy- you can borrow it some time when I get back, if you'd like :)
