Boy, this takes me back...especially to "Peter and the Magic Egg." You just don't see as many steampunk cyborgs in Easter cartoons these days; you really don't. :(
I miss these old specials! Especially the claymation one and the family circus one. I'm not sure if I remember the other ones... I do remember one about a chicken worried about a crocodile or a wolf or something stealing her eggs and eating them... Anyway, seems like ABC family plays most of the good specials disney used to play. But even then, some of them are sadly not even being aired on there. The claymation one is a classic. So that kind of surprises me,
Disney would be pissed if he knew what they did to his good name. he would not have put up with these kids today. step out of line and your fired. same for the people running his empire. bring back all the holiday show!
If you want your children to see these specials, "The First Easter Rabbit," "The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town" and "Peter and the Magic Egg" are all available on DVD. The other two have not been released on DVD, but used VHS copies can be found online. "A Family Circus Easter" has also been uploaded to YouTube by mechanicalman85.
If you're in the United States, just plug "Peter and the Magic Egg" into Amazon. It's still available on DVD. You can order it new (doubled up with another cartoon), or if you prefer it to be the only program on the disc, you can also order a used copy.
I have Peter & The Magic Egg on VHS and a VHS converter that can allow me to put it on the computer...Would anybody be interested in me uploading it to Youtube?
@SeagullProphet I do have to warn you, it's not in perfect shape anymore after years and years of watching it. I'd say it'll probably be roughly the same shape as this video here...But I'll see what happens!!!
I taped all of these specials when they aired back on the Disney Channel in 1989. I still have the tape and watch it every Easter (it also has some Fleischer Superman cartoons and an episode of This is America, Charlie Brown).
I wish the Disney Channel would pay this much attention to all the holidays nowadays like they would back in the early years; now they just show Christmas and (sometimes) Halloween stuff, and even then it's done in a half-assed manner.
I taped several of these when they aired in 1989, too! Wouldn't it be great if the Disney Channel got back to its roots? I'd love to see them spend time airing classic holiday specials again.
Chucklewood Easter, Family Circus Easter, The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town, and The First Easter Rabbit --- all faves of mine! I wish they would still show their holiday specials on Disney.
@AnnainCA Yes, back when The Disney Channel really was The Disney Channel! Not The Dismal Channel it is today (and if I offended any of you Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and Jonas Brothers fans, hooray!!)!
..... I GOT EGG!!!
