"Here Comes Peter Cottontail"

Written by Thornton Burgess and Romeo Mueller.

Review: Here Comes Peter Cottontail.

Cast
Casey Kasem as Peter Cottontail, Danny Kaye as Seymour Sassafrass and Antione, and Vincent Price as January Q. Irontail. Directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.

Review
This special is over 40 years ago, and like other Rankin-Bass specials, it still holds up. The story is simple, yet a bit intreging.. Vincent Price steals the show with him doing his booming voice. My only question of this special is if you go back in time and stop the events of Irontail's rise, wouldn't it cause a paradox? Then again, this is a special, so it's not meant to be giant in scale and all. Good songs, allright story make a good special.

Overall, I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
