is a 1971 stop-motion animated Easter special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions. It is based on the 1957 novel, “The Easter Bunny That Overslept,” by Priscilla and Otto Friedrich, and the title is based on the Easter song of the same name by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, who also wrote the classic Christmas song “Frosty the Snowman.” Featured voices are Danny Kaye, Casey Kasem, Vincent Price, Joan Gardner, and Paul Frees.
In 2005, it was followed by a computer-animated sequel, Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie.
Our narrator, Seymour S. Sassafrass, an eccentric yet friendly peddler and inventor, tells us the story of how the titular hero, Peter Cottontail, once saved Easter from the hands of his malicious arch-rival, Irontail.
Colonel Wellington B. Bunny, the retiring Chief Easter Bunny of April Valley, where all Easter bunnies live and work, making Easter candy, sewing bonnets, and decorate and deliver Easter eggs, names Peter as his successor, despite Peter’s boasting, irresponsibility and fibbing, the latter of which is exemplified when his left ear droops (ala Pinocchio). Peter, who has always dreamed of being the Chief Easter Bunny pretty much his entire life, gladly accepts the offer.
Meanwhile, there is only one person in April Valley who is not happy with the Colonel’s decision: January Q. Irontail, an evil, reclusive and villainous rabbit, who lives alone in a craggy old tree on the outskirts of April Valley with his pet bat, Montressor. The reason he called by that name is because once, many years ago, a small child accidentally roller-skated over his tail, lopping it off and resulting in him donning a prosthetic tail made of iron, hence his name. Ever since that day, he hates all children, and he only wants Peter’s job for himself so that he can ruin Easter for children everywhere as revenge for the loss of his tail.
He then goes to April Valley, where Colonel Bunny is about to crown Peter the new Chief Easter Bunny. He proposes a contest to see who delivers the most eggs, according to April Valley’s constitution, and the one who wins will be the new ruler of April Valley. Peter says a contest is the only fair way to decide who’s best and takes on Irontail’s challenge. However, despite Peter promising the Colonel that he won’t fail, he’s so confident that he’ll win that instead of getting to be early, he stays up all night partying with friends. Although he tells his alarm clock rooster, Ben, to wake him up 5:30 A.M., Irontail sneaks into his house and feeds the rooster magic bubble gum, sealing his beak. As a result, when the rooster tries to crow, he only manages to blow bubbles; which float so far away that Peter can’t hear them, resulting in him sleeping through and losing the contest. Irontail tries all day long to deliver eggs, but only manages to deliver one egg (to a sleeping hobo), as no one wants an Easter egg from such a nasty bunny. However, it’s still more than what Peter delivered. As a result, Irontail becomes the new Chief Easter Bunny, and begins passing laws that will doubtlessly make the Easter holiday a depressing disaster. These laws include:
· Painting eggs brown and gray
· Making chocolate tarantulas and octopi instead of bunnies and chicks
