    Wonderful family entertainment

    This is Jim Henson at his best. With amazing and popular projects such as the Muppet Show and Labyrinth to his name, The Tale of the Bunny Picninc follows in good tradition. The Tale of the Bunny Picnic has humour and an excellent story line. The Tale of the Bunny Picnic is a fabulous family film, which has an appeal for all ages. I certainly had hours of enjoyment from this film as a child and would love to share this with my family. I have found it very difficult to purchase on VHS, new or used and feel that it is such a shame that The Tale of the Bunny Picnic is not available for purchase on DVD- I would certainly order a copy.

    memorable

    This film is great - one of Jim Henson's best. I saw it several years ago and can still remember it so clearly. The bunny rabbit Bean is so cute and by far the best character: my younger brother adopted that as his nickname after seeing the film. Its great for kids - but fun for adults too.

    A fantastic Childhood movie

    I first saw this almost 20yrs ago -

    Being a fan of Jims other work such as the Muppet Movies , when this came along it was played over so much the VHS eventually gave up.

    So glad to hear other people have seen it and appreciate how good it was.

    Every single person I have asked has never heard of it...... With the exception of my cousins whom with the tape was regularly shared!!

    Still now my cousins & I quote lines from it -

    Especially the "Great great great great...... Grandmother!" one.

    I am trying to get a copy to show my niece of 2yrs.....

    I'm sure she will be hooked!!

    So no matter how tough life gets - there will always be a smile when i think of "The Bunny Picnic"

    Not Bad...

    I guess I'm a bit bias as a person who wants to work for Jim Henson's company one day but its a good film. I was watching it again today and decided to look it up on IMDb and was stunned to see that it was from 1986. The puppetry is flawlessly executed and its appearance is timeless. The story is a bit childish but hey we need more family friendly movies in an age where if a movie doesn't have sex or violence it loses its audience. Since the film is in the tradition of most Henson films (with the exception of the first three and the final Muppet movie.) it looks very much like a fantasy. Though made for children I'm 20 and was still mildly amused when I watched it again. And I agree that if you see this one on DVD or VHS pick it up.

    Funny, touching and tearful. Gotta love it!!!!!

    This is the funniest movie ever made. The chemistry and connection between Bean and the dog is incredible. An inspiring movie about what one little bunny can accomplish with the help of his friends. THe farmer gets what he deserves. A must see movie for the whole family.
