Review: "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" is another great Animagic treat from Rankin/Bass. The picture on the DVD is great, and does full justice to this classic.Vincent Price's Irontail is one of the best villains in any holiday special. There is a special evil flair to the character, a dark bunny who rides on a giant bat and only wants to deliver mud-colored eggs. I love Danny Kaye, who does a great job as the narrator Seymour S. Sassafras. The best scenes are Peter trying to deliver holiday-themed eggs during competing holidays. 4th of July eggs, Valentine's Day eggs, Christmas eggs and green St. Patrick's Day eggs spring from his basket. Our plucky little hero tries his best, and overcomes his self-inflicted follies in true holiday style. Sadly, the accompanying feature "Puss in Boots" is very low-quality Rankin/Bass. It is a cheaply animated feature and does not fit well with "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." There is no Easter theme to the cartoon, and I cannot see myself watching it more than once. A better fit would have been "The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town" or "The First Easter Rabbit." This tacked-on extra keeps the DVD from getting 5 stars. Other than that, great DVD! More please.

Summary: Bass and Rankin
Review: Come on you know you want it. With all these violent japanimation type cartoons its nice to be able to show your kids the stuff you grew up on. I didn't rememer that Casey Casem was the rabbit but it was funny to see him do it.

Summary: Kinda Goofy - And chaotic
Review: Cram every holiday into one movie and see if the kids can make sense of it. This is not one of the better of these kind of movies. Certainly not as bad as Rudolph's Shiny New Year which randomy introduces all kinds of weird characters. Get all of the other holiday movies before this one.

Summary: Best Easter mini-movie Ever!!
Review: Every year I watch this. It's amazing. Seymour S. Sassafrass is totally lovable. Peter Cottontail and Bonnie are too cute. Antoine the inchworm is adorable too. Vincent Price is wonderfully evil as Irontail. The story is thoroughly enjoyable as Peter sails through all the holidays of the year trying to save April Valley by giving out more eggs than his rival, Irontail, and become Chief Easter Bunny. I love the music, especially "If I could only get back to yesterday." (And he can, with the Yester-morrowbile.) I love Sassafrass's colorful garden and Irontail's little bat and Halloween bash. This tape is incredible. All the quotes are so memorable, everyone knows what you're talking about when you mention them. I guess everyone's seen these videos at some point or other. And who couldn't like 'em?

Summary: Join Peter on his bunny trail
Review: First of all, it's a Rankin/Bass animagic special, so I think I could just stop there, because that says it all!
This is a great Easter movie, with Peter Cottontail learning about responsibility in order to be the head bunny. The Characters are wonderful as usual, An evil bunny, french caterpillar, and a talking Easter bonnet joining Peter in his journey back in time. It is Set in the beautiful April Valley and narrated by Sassafras(Danny Kaye), with, as always, great songs. My faves being "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" and "If I could Only Get Back to Yesterday".
Also, as extra value for money, you get one of R/Bs cartoon features, "Puss In Boots". I don't know how many of you would remember these cartoons, but the introductions starts with a book spiralling into the centre of the screen. It then opens up and says Rankin Bass presents.......whatever cartoon it is, then all the different characters walk over a rainbow. When I started watching it, all these memories started flooding back to me from when I was little, it was such good fun to watch. Definitely worth having.
I am in my twenties and still enjoy watching R/B productions, true, that is because I grew up with them, but anybody who hasn't tried some Rankin/Bass, please do, you will be pleasantly suprised!

Summary: Not Limited to Children
Review: Hey, Rankin-Bass knows how to make entertaining productions. "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" remains one of my favorites from that studio. With a bouncy score, effective acting from Danny Kaye, Vincent Price, and a young Casey Kasem, this one is still captivating after more than a quarter century. "Peter Cottontail" should be an annual favorite as is "Rudolph," a Christmas classic.

Summary: Very surprised
Review: I am very surprised they are releasing this "lost gem". In a time where "robots from outer space" tell the miracles of Christmas and all the other wierd kids movies these days, it's great to see a classic like this on dvd. Keep the Rankin & Bass features coming!!!!
