Movie Reviews of The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town
Movie Review: Superb Rankin And Bass Easter Classic To Be Enjoyed By The Whole Family
Summary: 5 Stars
My admiration for the talented team of Arthur Rankin Jr and Jules Bass and their wonderful animagic productions knows no bounds and their creations in countless holiday specials are still in my belief unsurpassed for sheer charm and creativity. Perhaps most famous for their legendary Christmas specials such as "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", this talented duo also created some memorable specials for the Easter season producing two classics in the charming animagic process that took different slants on dealing with the celebration of Easter. The highly entertaining and beautifully constructed "Here Comes Peter Cottontail", was released in 1971 and has endeared itself to television audiences ever since and then in 1977 came the superb "The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town", which in its turn became an Easter staple on television. Narrated by none other than acting legend Fred Astaire this special in a most original way goes about explaining the origins of so many of our regular Easter traditions such as why we have Easter Egg hunts, why eggs are painted, the origin of jelly beans etc. All wrapped up in superb animagic animation courtesy of the Rankin and Bass team and boasting catchy seasonal songs that will have you singing along, "The Easter Bunny Is Comin' To Town", makes memorable viewing for all those like myself who love all the traditions of Easter and always enjoy the nostalgia that specials such as this produce for those of us lucky enough to have seen them each year on television at Easter time.
Summary of The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town
EASTER BUNNY'S COMING TO TOWN - DVD MovieBrought to you by the same crew that wrote and directed the classic Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, this Easter staple will look and feel familiar to any eyes that watched the 1970s around holiday time. Writer Romeo Muller's done a wonderful job capturing simple lo-fi dialogue and action around the lovable early-spring bunny, weaving enough drama into the script to make the show comprehensible for kids and enjoyable for (most) adults. The production team makes their animation-verité visuals jerky enough that it feels still like their Santa juggernaut (created seven years earlier than this 1977 production). And narrator Fred Astaire returns to give the shell of the story its pleasant feel, not at all too threatening but neither too mushy or idiotic. Of course the production dynamics and sound are subpar in comparison with current techniques, but this isn't a film to watch with an eye for how with-the-times it could or should be. --Andrew Bartlett
