DVD Reviews of The Easter Bunny Is Coming to Town
DVD Review: Classic Rankin and Bass
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite animagic. I used to watch this over and over again on a VHS as a kid. Now I'm so happy they came out of DVD. And now I'm watching it with my 16 month old son, which he also loves to watch. Although, the big bear Gazooks might be frightening for him, he enjoyed the rest of the movie.
Sunny the Easter bunny lives with a town where all the orphan children reside. There they started making the Easter eggs and jelly beans, etc. Without spoiling all.... just watch the rest.
DVD Review: Ten again..

Summary: 5 Stars
In purchasing this program on DVD I can continue to watch a childhood favorite. It is even better now watching it on the flat screen. DVD Review: LOVE THE EASTER BUNNY
Summary: 5 Stars

DVD Review: Good choice
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter is four and really enjoys this video. It's one I remember from my own childhood, which is the reason I chose to buy it. Although the DVD photo has been modernized, the original production has not. This was a problem for my 2-year old, but not for my older child as the story is well told and, therefore, managed to keep her attention.
Description of The Easter Bunny Is Coming to Town
The Easter Bunny is Comin? to Town is a Rankin and Bass holiday classic (originally produced in 1977) featuring stop motion animation and narrated by the legendary Fred Astaire. The feature is a fun, playful, retro 50-minute Easter story with an uplifting message that teaches kids about the origins of Easter traditions such as Easter Egg Hunts, Egg Rolling Contests and Easter Bonnets. The Deluxe Edition is fully re-mastered with all-new EC and specialBrought 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
