| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Another fruitless re-release from Warner...What's the point?? |
| THE EASTER BUNNY IS COMIN' TO TOWN is a great stop-motion Animagic special from those king of holiday TV Specials, Rankin/Bass. For that special alone, I would rate 5 stars.
However, it was released on DVD just a few years ago by Warner (with a better cover) and now has been re-released in this supposed "Deluxe Version" without any additional R/B material?!?! Why bother?? Warner does own the rights to another R/B Easter special, "The First Easter Rabbit", which is a nice cel-animated special featuring the voice of Burl Ives and it seems it would have been a no-brainer to stick that one on with this "Deluxe Edition". But instead we get 3 terrible stop-motion shorts that are not cartoons, but rather stop-motion experiments that have nothing to do with either Rankin/Bass or Easter. There are also NO CHAPTER STOPS for this DVD which means if you want to access a particular scene in the special, you will have to rewind or fast-forward your way to it, just like with a VHS tape!! The other thing that really irks me is that nowhere on the box front or back does it even mention "Rankin/Bass". That is just stupid! Rankin/Bass fans are a-plenty and leaving their name off the box could only hurt sales as well as shows a complete lack of respect for the history of the film. C'mon Warner...stop being greedy and open up your vaults!! If you release a "Deluxe Edition", try actually adding some additional content that anyone purchasing this DVD might be interested in. I would recommend getting the previous DVD release...it has the same special, a better cover and a lower price!! |
