Critical response
Netherland Dwarf has received generally positive reviews from critics, El Vez of short of the week gave film the positive review, stating: "Netherland Dwarf proves once again that sometimes all you need is a hint of emotional resonance to make a captivating and moving short."[8] TGI Film wrote in their review of film, "One of the great things about Netherland Dwarf is the remarkable quality that we so rarely see in short films."[9] Critic Tara Kenny of portable.tv lauded the film for being "simple, sad, sweet and beautiful" she also added, "The emotional resonance of Netherland Dwarf lies in the universal relevance of the familial struggles at its core. With his sweet attentiveness and single-minded desire to own Stampy, the floppy eared bunny, Jack Egan as Harry takes the viewer back to a time when whether to invest in a Hollilop or Netherland dwarf breed of rabbit was easily the most important decision of your lifetime."[10]
