The Christmas Specials We Love

The Gang is Back to talk all things The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town! Did this Easter classic hold true to Rankin & Bass standards?The decline of the Easter Bunny believers today.Could this special have stopped the spiral - and why itfailed to.Why isthis R&B animation special not an annual viewing tradition like the others?Why did it miss and how could it have been saved? Kev’s mini film class provides some screenwriting 101 as well as some answers. We talk R & B's continued love for old Hollywood and how the 1970s signaled the official end of post -WW2 culture that saluted such things as Brooklyn accents, Trains and Hobo culture.
