Product Description
The mailman tells the story of the Easter bunny and how he started delivering colored eggs and candy to children for Easter.
Brought 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

 The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town May 3, 2010
V. Hatch
The movie is great. The service from Amazon was not. I placed the order on-line before noon on Thursday. Paid an extra $15 for one day delivery service. Did not receive the package until the following Monday. Amazon does not provide any information on how to contact the company on the invoice. Just instructions for return of the product.
 Love the Bunny April 26, 2010

I remember watching this movie with my children and my students in school. It is a delightful tale of "how Easter traditions came into being". It is made by the same people who did, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and features the voice of Fred Astaire. The presentation is very similar to the Christmas video.
An entertaining, though lackluster, show for the children April 15, 2010
Dale (San Diego, CA)
I have to admit that watching this program for the first time in years was somewhat difficult. The storyline is a little more convoluted than the Christmas version called "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining for the kids. The plot is very similar to the Santa Claus version since it features a really mean adult (a woman this time) who controls the rules of a town and forbids Easter Eggs and gifts to be distributed on Easter Sunday. Like the Santa version there happens to be a cottage that is separated from this town by a scary mountain; this is where our bunny hero learns to make Easter Eggs, and sweets like jellybeans to share with everyone. The cottage features a magic farm that features singing chickens that lay eggs and family that produces sweets perfect for an Easter basket. Instead of a Warlock you have a grumpy brown bear scaring the Bunny and his friends as they travel across the mountain to deliver their Easter goods. The songs aren't as catchy as the Santa Clause story, but as I mentioned, the children enjoyed the program. Look for the Peter Cottontail stop motion story on DVD also.
