VHS Movie Reviews of The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town [VHS]

Movie Review: Childhood favorite as good as ever.
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.

Movie Review: LOVE THE EASTER BUNNY
Summary: 5 Stars

LOVE "THE EASTER BUNNY IS COMING TO TOWN". COULDN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE
AND EASTER ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT FRED ASTAIRE TELLING ME ABOUT THE
FIRST EASTER BUNNY! YEAH FOR AMAZON!

Movie 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.

Movie Review: Easter Gift
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie arrived in great time and in great condition. Will be given as a gift.

Movie Review: This Deluxe Version cleared up some problems on the 2006 release
Summary: 4 Stars

I have a copy of the 2006 release of "The Easter Bunny Is Comin' To Town" and this 2008 Deluxe Edition and have compared them. The deluxe edition has definitely improved the quality. I checked it on our tv and computer. It isn't noticeably clearer, mind you, but the motion is less choppy, more smoothed over, making it a better video to watch. I'm not sure why the 2006 version was like this. The old VHS tape we have of it was smoother than the 2006 dvd, too. All in all, it's a fun, good feelin', holiday classic that an avid Rankin Bass fan like me can't do without. People, if you get a copy, save your eyes and get this newer one.

Summary of The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town [VHS]

Brought 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-verit? 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
