The First Easter Rabbit
We’re back! This surprise bonus episode covers the 1976 Rankin/Bass special, The First Easter Rabbit, which despite its name and main theme, still relies heavily on Christmas. On This Episode Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), meticulous ice wizard who, like the Sith, deals in absolutes. Brandon Medley (@brandmed), worried talking snowball from Blessed are the Geek. Topics and Tangents A very obvious and very uncredited Velveteen Rabbit connection. Easter Valley’s odd location next door to the North Pole, and Rankin/Bass’ habit of giving bad directions. They named the talking snowball “Br-r-ruce,” a joke I didn’t notice until JUST NOW. You can visit the Advent Calendar House on the web at adventcalendar.house and on Twitter @adventcalhouse.
