Yesterday, I watched another Rankin/Bass Easter special I don't think I'd seen before. "The Easter Bunny Is Comin' To Town" has positive themes of determination, open-mindedness, and improvising when faced with obstacles. A song that Fred Astaire sings in it, "All You Have To Do Is Think 'Can Do,'" is especially empowering. Although it often takes more than a person's will to confront a challenge, confidence is a great starting point.
The special's message and music are relevant in any era, so I'm surprised this 1977 gem isn't aired more frequently.
