''[[The Seventh Brother]]'', originaly ''A Hetedik Testvér'', is a Hungarian/German animated feature made in 1995.
 
In the American dub, The story is about a little puppy named Tiny who is separated from his family, a young girl and her grandfather, during a thunderstorm as he chases after a frog on the side of the road when the car breaks down on the side of the road. Since his family believes him to be under a blanket in the front seat, they drive off without him, leaving Tiny to fend for himself.
 
In the [[Darker and Edgier|original]], mind you, whereas Vacak (Tiny's name in the Hungarian version) was accidentalyaccidentally forgotten in the American version, in THIS''this'' version a mother and daughter (who are never seen) are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv63CyhNxLw driving along only to stop the car and literally throw the puppy out over the ledge and into the forest before driving off again.]
 
In both versions, Tiny/Vacak is then taken in by [[Massive -Numbered Siblings|six rabbit siblings]] who find him the next morning, and teach him how to be a rabbit, thinking of him as their seventh brother. However, not all the animals are happy that there is a dog in the forest . . .
 
Both versions have the same theme of bravery (as the rabbits and Tiny/Vacak are thrown into many life-threatening situations, from hawks to drowning) and are filled with many songs.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Vacak's original owners (Hungarian).
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: In the movie, the Rabbits are attacked by a hawk, a weasel and a fox, as the forest is occupied by hunters, and are all {{spoiler|nearly drowned near the end}}. Oh, and Tiny/Vacak almost eats a poisionouspoisonous mushroom.
* [[Gender Equal Ensemble]]: There are three sister rabbits and three brother rabbits before Tiny/Vacak came along.
* [[Happily Adopted]]: Tiny/Vacak, until {{spoiler|the end, where Tiny gets injured while fighting off a weasel and needs to be returned to the humans to get better. Tiny and the rabbits still consider themselves siblings at the end though.}}
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: J.C.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Vacak means Rubbish in Hungarian.
* [[One of Us]]: Played with and subverted, as the rabbits try to make Tiny/Vacak more rabbit-like, but the only thing that Tiny manages to do properly is eat carrots. However, Tiny/Vakak teaches the rabbits that instead of always running away from danger, the best way to deal with it is to stand up to it, thus making them more "puppy-like" in a sense.
* [[Raised Byby Natives]]
* [[Stock Footage]]: Not sure about the original, but in the American release, a high-five scene is used about five times. Even more blatant is the shot of a closeup of Tiny crying.
