Here Comes Peter Cottontail is airing on CW on Tuesday at 7 pm central, featuring th voice talents of Casey Kasem and Vincent Price.

Haven't see any info on The Easter Bunny is coming to Town.

Both are fun, although I prefer the former. Wal-Mart haas both DVDs on sale for around $5.

I remember Me-Tv showed Peter Cottontail last year. I do like The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town as well.

How long must have it taken to make them back then , it was all stop motion I assume. Pose, click and do it all over again.

Thanks for posting this. Last year I was kinda miffed at Thanksgiving. The only Holiday shows we got was Charlie Brown.
Rankin Bass Ruled when it came to holiday entertainment!

I have a set of Peter Cottontail figures from Diamond...they made him, Seymour, Iron Tail and Donna.
They're really neat...that's always been my favorite of all the specials they did.

Easter Bunny is Comin to Town is actually very fun. Shows you the perfect way to eat a hard boiled egg.

I watched Peter Cottontail Last night,It was my Fav of the two Easter Specials....Easter Bunny is coming to town tries to hard to be like Santa Claus is coming to town......while Peter cottontail has it's own unique story with the voices of Danny Kaye,Vincent Price and Casy Kasem.....Plus The Santa Claus used in PCT is the same one that was used used in SCICTT.......They Changed Santa for The year without a Santa Claus and was used later in other Rankin Bass specials.
