I learned many of life's lessons from television. Some of these fictional characters became my pseudo-family and friends.
Here Comes Peter Cottontail is a 1971 Easter television special made by Rankin-Bass, based on a 1957 novel by Priscilla and Otto Friedrich entitled The Easter Bunny That Overslept. The title of the special is from the Easter song “Here Comes Peter Cottontail”, which is also heard in the special. The name “Peter Cottontail” comes from a series of books by Thornton W. Burgess (1874–1965), although the special is not based directly on his books.
It was originally broadcast on ABC-TV, and in later years, appeared on CBS. In 2006, it was followed by a computer-animatedsequel, Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie. It is a story about the Chief Easter Bunny’s son and how he saved Easter.
