what was up with the rabit costume thing?

the kid was wearing the rabit costume like through the entire movie, and there were talks that he though the was a rabit, that stuff was just confusing to me.
by the way, the doctor looks like a mix between conan o'brien and james arness.


when the sun is going up in the states,
it's going down where i stay,
wish someone would hold me close,
and untill the night is over not let me go,
reminism so much now it seem,
nobody in the world seem to care about me,
in the states, the black morning turn to bright day,
and into the darkness i drift away.
