The Tale of the Bunny Picnic Video Review

This adorable little bunny adventure is sure to win your heart! The animated bunnies, dogs, people and other animals in Jim Henson's video, The Bunny Picnic," are all really endearing.

The story centers around Bean, a young, imaginative bunny who tells so many tales that when he really does discover that the farmer has a new dog to hunt rabbits, none of the other bunnies believe his warning.

When my now grown children were little, this video played constantly. We memorized the songs and some of the lines. Even today, when one of us randomly starts reciting sections of the tale, the rest of us join in with the appropriate character responses. I truly believe when a story has that kind of lasting effect, that must be the best recommendation that can be given.

Here is an excerpt of our favorite part of the tale:

Story Teller: "Fox, Fox, I'm the Giant Hedgehog and even though I'm really, really big and you're really, really small, I'm not gonna hurt you and do you know why?"

Little Bunny: "No Why?"

Story Teller: "Because those who hurt others, hurt themselves."
