Movie Reviews of Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Movie Review: Rankin-Bass hits a double
Summary: 4 Stars

I remember watching Here Comes Peter Cottontail as a child, but hadn't seen it on television for ages. Netflix doesn't offer it, so I thought it would be worth the ten bucks to see it again. The villain, playing by Vincent Price, is over the top, like most of the Rankin-Bass villains, and the story is a bit strange, but the animation is fun and the easter colors are cheery. Kids who enjoy "The Easter Bunny Is Coming to Town" will enjoy this. Nostalgia buffs will be grateful to see it again. I don't know that Rudolph is really a better creation, just more iconic.

Summary of Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Peter cottontail wants to be the chief easter bunny and everyone in april valley agrees except for evil irontail. Peter must deliver more eggs than his archrival to earn the top spot and save easter for children everywhere. Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 02/05/2008 Run time: 95 minutes

Have you ever wished for a classic Easter special to show your kids? Here Comes Peter Cottontail is a Rankin & Bass production that bears a marked similarity to the beloved Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. Narrator Seymour?S. Sassafrass, voiced and sung by Danny Kaye, takes young viewers on a tour of the mythical April Valley and relates the story of how Peter Cottontail almost failed in his quest to become Chief Easter Bunny. Sassafrass peers into his magic egg, and viewers are introduced to Peter Cottontail--a spunky, ingenious young rabbit who is boastful, is prone to fibbing, and lacks a sense of responsibility. In order to become Chief Easter Bunny, Peter Cottontail must defeat the evil Irontail in a contest to deliver the most eggs on Easter Sunday. Through his trials, Peter Cottontail discovers the value of ingenuity, the importance of placing duty before pleasure, and the folly of self-conceit.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail features catchy songs, great 1970s stop-motion animation, and a fun Easter tale. Parents will find themselves reminiscing over holidays gone by or wondering how they missed this show in their own childhood. The 2 and up crowd will be begging for another showing long after the Easter candy is a distant memory. --Tami Horiuchi
