    A Film I Grew Up On

    Honestly, I believe there should be a soundtrack for this movie. I remember singing the songs when I was little. This is the sweetest movie for both kids and adults who enjoy Jim Henson. I do not want to give away anything, but I will simply say that despite the main characters being bunny puppets, they still teach us about confidence and how to get along with everybody. Sounds hokey (and probably is), but it always made me happy to watch.

    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"

    Excellent film for everybody

    I don't know how anyone could not like the Tale of the Bunny Picnic. It has everything, humor, excitement, adventure, suspense, and great songs that never get tired. It's a fun film that everybody can enjoy, with a good message that you're never too small to help and do what's right. The final song at the end is very powerful and has a good message to it as well. Contrary to most of today's entertainment, there is no reason to worry about what somebody in the show might do. This is pure, wholesome, fun family entertainment. This is the kind of stuff that kids of this generation should be watching. 10 stars all the way. Three cheers for Jim Henson entertainment!

    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.
