Based on a 1950's children's book, Rankin-Bass adapted Here Comes Peter Cottontail into a tune-filled Animagic special for ABC in 1971. Casey Kasem (Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, Josie & The Pussycats, American Top 40) has the title role, with Danny Kaye narrating as Seymour S. Sassafrass, and Vincent Price as the nefarious Irontail.
This is also the first instance of Kasem trying to sing, as he contributes to the soundtrack. We think.
Peter delivering Easter eggs on other holidays was silly, but fun.
Rating: B+.
