We got a really nice phone call Christmas morning from actor Robert Morse (My first call on my Blue tooth Stereo). He said my book really meant a lot to him :)

RANKIN/BASS Easter TV specials

Robert Morse voiced the bunny in RANKIN/BASS' THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT...I stand corrected by Jerry...Skip Hinnant was the bunny in RANKIN/BASS' THE EASTER BUNNY IS COMIN' TO TOWN. I was thinking of Morse's voice work in JACK FROST and THE STINGIEST MAN IN TOWN.

RANKIN/BASS' THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT

One of the few DVD releases that rightfully has the RANKIN/BASS name and logo (Drawn by my friend Patrick Owsley) on the front cover!

Some cool RANKIN/BASS-PAUL COKER, JR. things!

RANKIN/BASS' THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT

Wrong move...

Not a big fan of this packaging. First of all, the cover design for the original EASTER BUNNY IS COMIN' TO TOWN DVD was perfect! ANIMAGIC photos of all the cast members near the train, including S.D.Klueger. Then someone ruined it with the second art cover of an illustrated bunny head. THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT came out last year in a nice, shiny case with the RANKIN/BASS logo on the front. This cover looks like a generic grouping of Easter shows, by the look of the cover. I am sure this will hurt sales over all. RANKIN/BASS should be prominently featured and ANIMAGIC photos should be featured as well.

Makes a GREAT Easter gift! It features all three of the classic RANKIN/BASS Easter specials: HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL, THE EASTER BUNNY IS COMIN' TO TOWN and THE FIRST EASTER RABBIT! Email Rickgoldsc@aol.com for availability!
