You could do that or scale the rabbit down, or use a morph target. but like you say if its just going to happen in one shot you dont need the rabbit hidden in the hat the whole time. Usually the best thing to do is to work on a shot by shot basis, only animate what you need for that particular camera and only have what you need in the scene. sometimes its usefull to use xrefs for the environment so someone else can be working on that stuff and have it update into everyone elses animation scenes.

is the hat big enough to fit the rabbit?? If that so, I agree with tyson on scale the rabbit down to fit inside.. the start slowly pulling it back to its original size when your already trying to pull it out..

The squash scale tool would probably look good in a situation like this.
