The First Easter Rabbit (1976)


Made for NBC, airing April 9th in the US.
The story: Once there was a little girl named Glinda.
For Christmas Glinda received a stuffed bunny which she adored and named Stuffy.
But soon Glinda got sick and the doctor told Glinda's mother that she must burn all Glinda's bed clothing and toys...
So mother took everything out of Glinda's room and brought it all outside, putting it in a pile to burn.
That night, a fairy visited Stuffy and explained to him that she transforms all the childrens toys that have been discarded into real things...
The fairy advised Stuffy that he must travel to Easter Valley and so off he went.
There Stuffy meets Santa Claus who advises Stuffy on what he should do.
So Stuffy begins coloring eggs which he will be delivering to all the people in the town where Glinda lives during an Easter parade to start a tradition.
