Here Comes Peter Cottontail (1971)

[bunniefuu]

Woahaha! Hey! Woah! L-l-l-look out!

H-h-here I come! Ready or not! Haha!
Tadaa!

Hmm, may I introduce myself,

I am Seymour S. Sassafrass
& company.

This is the Seymour
S. Sassafrass, and this

is the company!

I am a peddler by trade, by trade

and by golly, by golly, by golly,

I deal in magic and moonbeams

and pretty, pretty colors.

Ohhhh, yes!

I can sell you the most perfect pink,

or the most blissful blue,

or a simply euphoric yellow. Heheh!

That, of course, is why I'm here

in April Valley, delivering

all these colors to
Peter Cottontail,

so he can paint his
Easter eggs, you know.

What? You say you've never been to
April Valley before?

Well, that's okay.
I'll show you around.

This way, please.

Now you see? April Valley's where

all the Easter bunnies live and work.
Oh, yes.

Ah! April Valley's
finest candy carvers.

Meet Milk- chocolate Angelo,

and Leonardo de Bittersweet, hehe.

And over there is the famous
Easter bunny bonnet founder.

Now, of course, it's
all very nice here,

thanks to Peter Cottontail.

Hmm? You've never heard
of Peter Cottontail?

Great chattering chip chicks!

They've never heard of
Peter Cottontail!

(echoing) They've never heard
of Peter Cottontail?!

Why, he's the number-one
Chief Easter bunny

around here, see?

Y-you-- you mean you never heard

how he almost lost the job?
(gasp)

Oh my, you actually
mean you never heard

how a terrible, wicked nasty rabbit

named Irontail almost became
the Easter bunny?

(evil laughing)

Montrezaur! Montrezaur!

Away! Away-!

Here, if you peek into
this magic egg,

you'll see the whole story

just as it happened.

Peter was just a young
whippersnapper,

sort of a junior Easter bunny.

♪ Hoppin' down the bunny trail ♪

♪ Hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way ♪

♪ Bringin' every girl and boy ♪

♪ Baskets full of Easter joy ♪

♪ Things to make your
Easter bright and gay ♪

Well, it all began one bright
and sunny springtime

right here in April Valley.

The former Chief Easter bunny,

Colonel Wellington B. Bunny,

--oh, he was a fine old gent--

was getting on in years,

and he figured it
was just about time

for him to retire.

Of course, it was his sworn duty

to appoint a worthy successor.

[Colonel] No, it's out
of the question...

that one could, hmm..

Wait! Peter Cottontail--

Just a moment, now here's
a likely candidate.

Er, I really don't
think Cottontail's

your man, sir.

I mean, he is boastful,

he has no sense of responsibility,

and sometimes, sometimes he fibs!

- Oh, well I know he's not perfect,

but he's got real
spunk and ingenuity.

Reminds me of me when I was his age.

But-- I never dreamed I'd get to be

Chief Easter bunny!

Peter, you're telling a fib!

Every time you tell a fib,

your left ear droops!

Oh, heheh, well I guess I did

think about the job once or twice.

Uh, lots of times.

Peter, good heavens, Peter, my boy,

you've got to shape up and reform

if you want to be Chief Easter bunny.

[Irontail] I won't allow Cottontail

to be the new Chief Easter bunny!

I must be the new ruler
of April Valley!

You, sir?

Yes. Years ago, a small child

rollerskated over my tail.

Since then, I have had to wear this

artificial one made of iron,

instead of having a nice,
fluffy, while

cotton tail, like that Peter.

But it was an accident, sir.

The child didn't mean to-

I don't care!

Since that time, I have
detested all children.

But then, why be Easter bunny?

To get even, heheh.

When I'm through with April Valley,

we'll never be bothered
by children again.

(Laughs)

Here, son.

Here... is your official egg basket.

Carry, carry it with pride.

I will, sir!

- I hereby officially declare you

Chief Easter bun-

[Irontail] Just a mean old minute!

Hm, hm. Just in time.

- For what, Irontail?!

- Here is the Constitution
of April Valley.

It says that the Chief Easter bunny

shall be the one who
delivers the most eggs.

- I know that!

That's why I've chosen-

- Well, when it comes
to delivering eggs,

Peter Cottontail is, eheh,

real squeamish carrots

to January Q. Irontail!

I propose a contest to see who

can deliver the most eggs.

- That's absolutely out
of the question!

[Peter] Wait a minute, Colonel.

I'm not afraid of Irontail.

I know I can lick him any day!

[Irontail] Ha!

- Peter, this is no time for bragging.

- No, no, I insist, Colonel!

A contest is the fair
way of deciding

who's best. (softly)
Don't worry, it'll be me!

- Hehehe, well, you better
head wind, Peter.

Because once I give my word,

I shall stick to it.

(crowd chattering)

[Colonel] Therefore,

I have decided that whoever delivers

the most eggs tomorrow, Easter,

will be the new ruler
of April Valley.

(cheers)

- (chuckles)

You've got to win, Peter.

Absolutely have to win.

Irontail will do terrible
things to April Valley.

Make sure, make sure you get up

bright and early tomorrow
so you can do your best.

[Sassafrass] But Peter was so sure

he'd win the next day,

that instead of getting
lots of sleep,

he had a big party with
all his friends.

And it was very late when
he finally went to bed.

I've gotta get up on
time tomorrow! (yawn)

Five- thirty, Ben, remember?

(tiredly) ♪ There are tulips

that need tending ♪

♪ And baskets that need mending ♪

♪ In Spring the Easter
bunny never sleeps...

sleeps... sleeps...

[Sassafrass] But you
can be certain that

old Irontail wasn't
going to play fair.

[Ben] No funny- no funny- no
funny business, now.

- (laughs) Oh, no, of course not.

I have a little gift
for you! Because, uh,

well, because I like
chickens so much.

Aww! Bubbu-bubble-bubblegum!

Corn-flavored bubblegum!

My f-f-fa-favorite!!

(laughs) April Valley
is as good as mine!

(laughs)

(gulp)

[Sassafrass] You see,
it was magic bubblegum

guaranteed to seal the lips

of an alarm- clock rooster.

Those bubbles cocka-doodle-do'd

so far away, Peter never heard them.

He slept on and on and on

all through Easter day.

Now, nobody wanted an egg

from an unpleasant old
bunny, like Irontail.

As a matter of fact, though
he tried all day long,

he was only able to give away

one single egg.

However, since Peter
slept through Easter

and didn't deliver any eggs at all,

Irontail won.

And he now ruled April Valley.

only be Easter galoshes.

(laughs)

[Sassafrass] Peter Cottontail,

who realized that his bragging

and irresponsibility had
let everybody down,

left April Valley in disgrace.

- But- but I'll make it up, somehow!

I'll make it up if it's
the last thing I do!

And that's when I came
into the story.

Ah, beg pardon, Peter.

- Huh?

- You're sleeping on my big toe.

You really must have
been tuckered out

to use a big toe as a pillow.

- Gee, I'm sorry, Mr. Sassafrass.

(chuckles) Well, that's alright.

It's my pleasure, Peter.

Well, rather my big
toe's pleasure, heheh.

- Where are we?

- In my garden.

This is the garden of surprises

where I grow all the vegetables

I use to make the pretty colors.

Heh, it's kinda magical,

if I do say so my
magical self, heheh!

[Peter] Why do you call it

the garden of surprises?

- Everybody asks that question!

And I answer:

Why not call it the
garden of surprises?

I mean, I never know
what's coming up.

Sometimes I plant beans
and roses surprise me.

Why, once I planted pumpkins,

and do you know what came up?

- Huh? No, what?

Pumpkins.

Now, that was a surprise.

Hmm! Well, it's always easier

to change colors than
to change labels.

- Well, nobody will ever
be able to change

my label... it reads "failure."

- Oh, don't be so depressed, Peter!

When you are depressed,
it gets to be

very...erm... depressing! Heheh

- But Easter's all over and I lost!

- Easter, over?

Hah, nothing's ever
really all over, Peter.

Follow me!

There it is. My Yestermorrowber.

- Why do you call it your
Yestermorrowber?

- 'Cause that's what
I call it! Heheh.

You see, it can transport you

into yesterday or tomorrow,

whereas most crafts go
from here to there,

mine travels from now to then,

and from then to when.
(chuckles)

Meet the pilot.

Antoine, Antoine!

(French accent)
Hello, hello, hello.

- A worm?

[Antoine] Pardon, monsieur.

I hold the rank of caterpillar.

- We've got our first
passenger, Antoine.

His name is Peter Cottontail.

Now, show him how it all works.

- Of course, I will do
that, with pleasure.

You will notice the many switches

and buttons and knobs, eh?
(chuckles)

They're beautiful, eh?

They are labelled le
future and le past.

And here, of course,
we have more controls

to transport one to the holidays.

A button for Christmas,

a lever for Halloween,

so, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day,
St. Patrick's Day,

Valentine's Day, Arbor Day,
and this pretty one,

for Easter.

- Hey! I get it.

All I have to do is
hop into the basket

and have you take me back to Easter!

- That's correct.

Then you can deliver your eggs,

as you should have done
in the first place,

win the contest, and
toss old Irontail out.

- Let's go! To Easter, Antoine!

- Of course! Oui, certainement, Pierre!

Good luck, Peter.

- Thanks for everything,
Mr. Sassafrass!

- But I didn't give you everything.

- Huh?

♪ [lyrics] If I could only
get back to yesterday ♪

♪ Today would be a perfect day ♪

♪ If I could only get

♪ Oh the different things
I'd do and say ♪

♪ I'd be a different man ♪

[Irontail] A thousand
crimson curses, urgh!

I forgot all about Sassafrass'
silly time machine.

Well, hehe, I'll put

a creepy crimp in their
pathetic plans.

(chuckles)

Now understand my plans...

Now catch up with them,

and by all means, play dirty!

(laughs)

Are we almost at Easter, Antoine?

- Soon, Pierre, soon.

We are traveling one
hundred hours an hour.

Hey, there is something that

is very wrong with the controls!

They indicate approximately
to Easter,

yet, by my calculations - -

mon dieu! Mon dieu,
we're coming down!

Prepare for the crash- landing!

[Sassafrass] And because
the control wires

were all fouled out,
Easter was lost,

and they crashed right down

in the middle of Mother's Day.

(giggling)

[Peter] Happy Easter!

[Mother] Easter?
It's Mother's Day.

[Boy] You forgot us on Easter.

[Mother] I'll say you did.

Oh, I don't mind for myself,

but there were no eggs for the
children.

- And no Easter bonnet for Mom.

- Well, I'll make it all up now!

Here, my pleasure!

- Aw, who wants Easter
eggs on Mother's Day?

[Sassafrass] And wherever
Peter went

on Mother's Day, the reaction

was exactly the same.

Antoine did his best

to repair the damaged time controls.

- It works! Hehe!

And, I, of course,
sense a holiday, no?

A holiday, yes!
But the 4th of July!

[Antoine] We are falling!

This is an outrageous situation!

This is an outrageous situation!

[Peter] We made it.

[Antoine] That, mon amie, is obvious.

Thanks, of course, to
my superb piloting.

- Superb? We're a long
way from Easter.

- Ah, well... tell me, Pierre,

in the woods of April Valley,

does it say the eggs must
be given at Easter?

- No, but who wants Easter
eggs on the 4th of July?

They didn't even want them
on Mother's Day!

- Easter eggs? No.

But, uh, 4th of July eggs?

What I am saying, mon amie, is that one
should and must improvise.

♪ People believe what their
hearts tell their eyes ♪

♪ So when you can't get it
all together, improvise ♪

[Peter] Lucky, Mr. Sassafrass
packed a box

full of his paints aboard.

[Antoine] Well, look again,
that is not all he packed.

Come see.

Here's a box full of, um,

how you say, costumes, eh?
Rabbit- size.

- This is perfect!

[Sassafrass] Oh, it's not that I knew

what was gonna happen
- not really, heheh.

Well, anyway, Peter went out
with his 4th of July eggs.

Gee, I wonder if anybody will
really want my eggs.

- Well, that's all, fellas.

[Blond boy] Aw, it was just
getting good.

[Red-haired boy] I'll do
anything for more fireworks!

- Boy, I could really get rid of these

if they were firecrackers! Hmm.

- Well, let's go home.

- (fake voice) Well, well, well.
Hello fellows!

- It's a rabbit.

- I'm Uncle Sam- Sam, your
Independence Day bunny!

- We're looking for firecrackers.

You got firecrackers, rabbit?

- Uh, firecrackers, uh,

well as a matter of fact, I do!

These are red, white, and blue, uh,

egg- shaped torpedoes! You know,

you toss them on the
ground, and kerbloom!

- Oh, boy! Torpedoes!

- Wow! We'll take all you got!

(Both) Yeah! Gimme! Lemme at 'em!

Let's take 'em to where
the ground is hard.

[Peter] Quick! Let's

- Just a minute, I have not yet

made finish with the repairs.

- Antoine, we've got to get moving!

[Boys] Hey, rabbit!

- Oh, boy.

- These are not firecrackers!

- Well, fellas, it was, uh, just
a little joke! (nervous laugh)

- We don't like jokes.
Let 'im have it, Homer!

- Wait a minute! Whoops! Watch out!

You'll break them! Come on,
Antoine, let's go!

- What's the matter?

- We are coming down again!

- Gee, it's so foggy and dank
and spooky out!

What a terrible Easter!

- Easter?! Pierre, we are halfway
around the year from Easter.

This is H-allowee---n!

- Halloween? Hey, wait a minute.

I'll paint my eggs orange and black

and be, um, be the Halloween bunny!

[Irontail] Blast that wretched rabbit!

Oh, what am I worrying about?
(low chuckle)

If I can't defeat Peter
Cottontail on Halloween,

then when can I? (chuckles)

I mean, it's, uh, my kind of day.

[Esmeralda] Go ahead, it's your
nickle! (wicked laughter)

Irontail? Not THE Irontail?

January "Boom- Boom" Irontail?

[Irontail on phone]
Ah, Madame Esmeralda!

and how is my favorite witch today?

- Well, Halloween's my busy season,
dont'cha know.

After Halloween, I'm pooped as a
petrified poltergeist. (laughs loudly)

- Heheh, yes.

Well, I wonder if you could find time

to do me a little favor, hm-hm?

I mean, there's a certain rabbit
I want to frighten away.

[Esmeralda] Haunt a rabbit? Great!
You know me! (laughs)

I just love to tease hares!
(wicked laughter)

[Antoine] Well I... I improvise

and I improvise, and still I cannot
get it all together.

(wicked laughter)

[Peter] (laughs)

(wicked laugh)

- (laughs) Come on, what's the joke?

Let me in on it! What's so funny?

- There's no joke! I'm a wicked
Halloween witch!

I do simply horrendous things.

I can turn blue and purple and green
- BOO!

I'm as spooky as Frankenstein!

- Hey, that's great! Uh,
can you do Colonel Bunny?

I can! (Colonel's voice) "Peter, my boy,
I have some advice for you."

- Aw, you're not supposed
to enjoy my evil powers!

Oh, I failed. Here I am, only 379,
a has- been! (crying)

- Oh, uh, don- don- don't cry!

I didn't mean to make you unhappy!

Say, there's no rule that says a witch
can't have a Halloween egg!

Here, you may have my first.

- For me? A present?

Oh, I must tell the whole
weirdo community!

All the ghosts, witches,
werewolves, everybody!

They'll be so happy to
receive Halloween eggs!

Nobody ever thinks to
treat the tricksters!

(gleeful laughter)

[Sassafrass] Well, old Esmeralda

rounded up the entire clan

and they all wanted one
of Peter's eggs.

[Irontail] Great mealy- mouthed
meatballs, ugh!

The skies are laden
with egg- crazy race!

I cannot let this happen!
Peter will win!

There's only one way to take
care of those eggs-

destroy them for good!

Montrezaur! Get them and destroy them!

Boy, look at all those ghosts!

Yowee, I'll have to go back to April
Valley for more eggs!

No!

- Smash them, Montrezaur! Smash them all!
(wicked laughter)

Those eggs are done for!
(laughter)

- Take off, Antoine! We've gotta catch
those eggs

before they hit the ground!

- Great twisted tarantulas!

Haul those eggs, Montrizaur!
Haul them!

[Antoine] So, how do we do, eh?

- We've got to get
back to Halloween

so I can give these
eggs to the ghosts!

- That, I am afraid, mon amie
Pierre, is impossible.

- No, they couldn't go back.

But Antoine had to land his craft

so he could continue his repairs.

And where do you think
they came down?

[Peter] Thanksgiving!

Oh, just smell all those
goodies cooking down there.

How do I look?

- What. Are you supposed.
To be. Eh?

An Easter turkey, or
Thanksgiving bunny?

- Oh, who cares? As long as
I can give away these eggs.

- Eggs? (hick)
Don't mention food to me.

I'm stuffed to the gills after
this Thanksgiving feast.

[Family] We're all stuffed!

[Sassafrass] Everybody everywhere
was so stuffed

that Peter couldn't give
away a single egg.

- Boy, i- it's cold!

- Thank you for this
information,

I do not realize this fact
otherwise, eh. (sneeze)

- Antoine! Look up there!

Santa Claus! That's
why it's so cold!

- Well, it must be Noel.
Christmas Eve.

These stupid controls
are still all wet!

- Hi, Santa! Hi!

- Hello, Peter!

- Watch out for Irontail, Santa!

- Oh, I'm not afraid, haha. Merry
Christmas, Peter!

Merry Christmas!

- Same to you, Santa!

Hey, I know how to give
these eggs away!

I'm the Santa bunny!

Get your free Christmas eggs here,

Hohohoho! Merry Christmas!

- How goes the egg business?

- Not so good.
The street's deserted.

- Of course! Everyone
has finished with

their Christmas shopping,
and are now

snug and warm at home- eh,
you are too late again, mon amie.

- I guess so. It seemed like
such a good idea!

- Well, at least I, too, am snug and warm.
Oh- ho- ho.

(crying)

Gee who's crying?

Sounds like it's coming
from that hat shop.

Gee, it's Bonnie! Bonnie Bonnet!

She left April Valley years ago!

(tapping) Hi, Bonnie!
Why are ya crying?

- Oh, Peter! I'm so glad
to see you, baby!

Nobody wants me! What a way
for a lady to end up!

Unbought, on Christmas eve! (sobs)

- Wait a minute!

[Shopkeep] Sorry, I'm closing up.

- Uh, b- but, y- you can't leave Bonnie
all alone on Christmas eve!

- Ah, that ridiculous hat?

Who wants an Easter bonnet
this time of year?

- I'll take her. I'm sure
I can find a home for Bonnie.

- You, a silly little rabbit?
Whatever would you use for money?

- Oh, I have lots of money!

Darn it.

Wait a minute. I'll trade you
my Christmas eggs for Bonnie.

- Christmas eggs?

- Yeah, see? In that basket
out there on the sidewalk.

[Shopkeep] Why, they're beautiful!

- Deal?

- Deal.

- Dea-l!

- Deal!

- Deal?

(all laugh)

- Gee, I forgot I was wearing
this Santa suit.

[Shopkeep screams]

- What is it?

- Somebody's stealing the
Christmas eggs!

It's another rabbit!

- Careless, careless! Hehehe

Musn't let these things lie about!
(wicked laugh)

Yes, Peter Cottontail!

This time, I'm personally
taking care of these eggs.

Away, away Montrizaur! Awa-y!

- Come back! Come back
with those eggs!

[Antoine] I do insist you
return those eggs!

- I shall hide these eggs where you will
never find them again! (laughs)

- We've got to catch him!

[Antoine] Pierre! Pierre! P-Pierre!

W- why do you go off
without your friend?

- Hang on, Bonnie!

[Bonnie] Not so fa-a-ast!

- Can't go slow, Bonnie.
I've got to catch Irontail!

The whole future of April
Valley depends on it!

- Pierre! Pierre!
Come back for me!

- Antoine! Antoine, we
forgot all about it!

We must go back! B- But I can't!

I can't! I don't know how
to make it go backwards!

- Au revoir, mon amie! Au revoir!

- You ridiculous rabbit, ha! You'll
never catch me! (laughs)

- What are you doing
with those eggs?

Well, you know they belong to Peter
Cottontail.

- Oh, why don't you stick
to your own holiday?

[Sassafrass] Hm, well Santa
got the egg basket back to Peter,

and poor Peter, he couldn't
even stop the Yestermorrorber,

not even to say thank you.

- I sure do miss Antoine.

[Sassafrass] Peter thought
he'd try being

the New Year's Eve bunny, but he

couldn't bring the
Yestermorrowber to a stop.

- It's no use. I'll never figure
out how to run this thing.

I guess we're lost,
lost up here in time.

- You never tried this one, Peter!

It says "stop."

- Huh?

A- As a matter of fact, I was just
about to try that button out.

- Oh, how beautiful! What is it?

- All those heart lanterns!

It must be a St. Valentine's
Day skating party!

Sure, that's it!

Bonnie, do you know
what I'm gonna do?

- Don't tell me, let me guess.

(both laugh)

Nobody can resist a
Valentine's Day egg!

[Donna] Excuse me.

- Huh? Oh, heheh, hi.

- I hate to bother you, but could
you help me put my skates on?

- Oh, no bother at all!

- My name's Donna.

- Hi, Donna.

- Oh, I recognize you from
your picture in the paper.

You're Peter Cottontail.

- Oh, no, my name's Harold.
Uh, Harold Hossenfeffer.

Aw... I guess I'm Peter Cottontail.

- Well, you shouldn't be ashamed.

Anybody can make one mistake.
You just overslept.

- Gee, t-that's a kind
thing to say.

- I mean it.

- Yeah... yeah! Donna,
would you skate with me?

- I'd love to. But aren't you going
somewhere with those eggs?

- Ah, they can wait.

Here, for you.

- Oh, Peter! A Valentine!

[Irontail] Oh, what luck!

Hoohoo! I knew I'd find
Peter and his eggs

if I just kept waiting
for all the holidays!

Now let me see, where's
my book of evil spells?

Oh, here it is. (mumbling)
Oo, that's a good one.

[Sassafrass] The evil old
bunny found a spell

which would ruin the
eggs for good,

and make them so that no
one would ever want one.

He turned them all

- Green!

[Sassafrass] Oh, and were
they ever green.

[Bonnie] What's that music?

- Gee, Mr. Sassafrass is right!

I vow, that if only I can
find a way to give my eggs,

I'll never, never,
NEVER tell another fib.

And I'll always tend to my duty before
pleasure. I promise. I promise!

- It's some kind of a parade. Must be
another holiday.

- But who... who would
want green eggs?

Huh? A holiday? Oh,
must be St. Pa--Pa-Pa

- What's the matter?

- Pa- Pa- - Pa

- Is your talker stuck?

- Oh, Bonnie! Bonnie!
Me prayers have been answered!

Glory be in me gorra!
'Tis St. Patrick's Day!

[Peter] (Irish accent)
Sure unto me- self!

The Blarney Bunny!
Get'cher Patty's Day

shamrock eggs right here!
Free for the askin', they are!

And as green as the Emerald
Isle all the way through!

And that, for once, is no fib!

[Colonel] Peter Cottontail, you have
shown great ingenuity.

And, therefore, (ahem)

you have won the right to be
official Chief Easter bunny!

(Horray!)

[Sassafrass] And on Easter
morning, Peter was off again.

Only now, he was the Easter bunny.

All of his friends turned
out to greet him,

'cause everybody knew that Peter
Cottontail was on his way.
