Peter and the Magic Egg

This animated special is another favorite after watching it. And again, I have been looking for good Easter specials to favor.

The story for this special is about a farmer and his wife, Mr. And Mrs. Doppler, and how they needed money to save their farm. One night, they heard the cry of a baby coming from their henhouse. A special boy named Peter Paas, whom the Dopplers adopted as their son, Within a year, Peter was already twelve years old. But the Dopplers must pay the mortgage for the farm to Tobias Toot. Once upon a time, Tobias Toot, a farmer, mechanized his farm and took control of nearby farms, including the Dopplers', the town's bank, and the town itself. He got himself mechanically altered since he loved machines so much. Tobias Toot is now known as Tobias Tinwhiskers.

Now back to the story: Peter and his friends, the cast of anthropomorphic farm animals, produce and dye eggs for the Easter Bunny and make the annual mortgage payment on Easter Day. As we continue in this special, Peter has revealed to his friends that Mother Nature is his birth mother, and it was the Easter Bunny who bought the infant Peter to the Dopplers.

That's all I can tell you; you'll have to watch the special to find out how it ends. So, I have no further comments to make, but I am moved to commend the enchanting special with the talents of The Wizard of Oz's Ray Bolger as the storyteller, Uncle Amos.

This is one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood. I'm in my early 40s and for the longest time could remember certain things about this special, but didn't have all of the information to fill in all of the holes. I kept talking about it to people and a lot of people looked at me like I was crazy, I posted it in Facebook groups to try and figure out if somebody could tell me what it was and I went 20 years or longer not knowing what it was. I watched it over and over at my grandma and grandpa's house as a kid and just remember loving the story. I was lucky enough today to do a random search or someone posted a link and when I clicked on it, I knew right away that this is what I had been looking for. This is such an amazing story with such a good message, it's a great family movie. It's got great songs to me. It's just one of the best made for TV specials ever made. I can't say enough about it. I had core memories unlocked today and I couldn't be happier.

This was a great Easter TV special. I loved watching this as a kid. I don't remember much (at all, so if I am wrong please forgive me), but from what I remember it was great.

A young boy named Peter is the main character. An evil tin man named Tin Whiskers (I think) somehow buys the whole town and re-names everything after tin and metal. Peter must save the town/Easter(?). He goes into the woods and meets Mother Nature and she helps him in some way. I do not remember the end, but I would not give it away anyways.

Overall, it was a very cute holiday special. Hopefully this will be released in the future so I can enjoy it every year. Released March 2007.

I remember this being one of my favorite Easter specials as a kid. Until recently, the last time I remember watching it was when I was in third grade. Then one day, I rediscovered it, and I got nostalgic chills and remembered why I loved it so much! I love the animals on this special. Lollichop is my favorite of the four; she's just so cute that I want to hug her! It's a shame they didn't appear in other sources of media other than still being represented as the mascots of Paas Easter Egg dye still to this very day, which I guess counts as something. Looking back on it today, there are some parts in it that might be considered politically incorrect by today's standards, but they're not bad enough to distract you from the heart it delivers. I used to have this recorded on a VHS tape along with some other animated Easter specials, but now I have it on DVD, and now I can share it with my nephew every Easter and re-live my childhood! If you haven't seen this special, I recommend checking it out. It's truly an underrated Easter special!

I had the video when I was a kid, I couldn't remember the name until a little bit ago and found out it's on DVD so I ordered it off Amazon. Brought back childhood memories for me, was rather bizarre yet fun to watch.

I showed it to my sister. I don't think she caught onto the plot very quickly, though I think it would help to not argue about it through logic & PC-ness, it also helps to shut up. Don't try to bring logic and PC-ness into a nonsensical kids' movie, it doesn't work. The couple kinda talk like Yoda.

Doesn't make a tremendous, great deal of sense, but there is *some* sense in there. Mother Nature sends an enchanted baby who grows into a boy named Peter to help an Amish couple with their problems as they're under the threat of an evil robot named Tin Whiskers. Though, not technically a robot or a cyborg even, he had more of a mechanical suit like Iron Man. With the help of his animal friends and Mother Nature, Peter must save everyone and Easter from Tin Whiskers.

Like I said, rather bizarre yet fun to watch. And don't try to bring logic or PC-ness into a nonsensical kids' movie, it doesn't work.
