      Jack's A Chef's kiss, this special is (almost) perfect and definitely my personal favorite Rankin/Bass animated production Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review doug n Here Comes Peter Cottontail is a delightfully charming Easter special with its colorfully vibrant animation, a memorable musical score, and featuring a great voice cast with Danny Kaye, Vincent Prince, and Paul Frees. This ranks up there with some of the best of Rankin & Bass holiday specials; including Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Frosty the Snowman. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review kevin p [(The voice of Shaggy + Vincent Price)(Easter)/RankinBass = a good time] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review mike v Here Comes Peter Cottontail is a 1971 Easter stop motion animated television special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions 🍿 It's good 🙂 I'd recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 THE ORIGINAL TV CLASSIC 🐰 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good music and a cute story. I loved it more as a child than I do now. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review todd a People have tried to create a mythology for the Easter Bunny for years, but it just keeps turning him into Santa Clause. Your better off sticking to the Santa Clause is Comin' to town special- yes, even on easter. That one didn't have to rely on time travel out of left field to fix everything.
