Jim Henson's last directorial production aimed squarely at children is this delightful 50-minute show about a bunny who cried "dog." Little Bean Bunny always wants to make an impression on his family and his jovial bunny community. When he encounters a daffy dog bent on chasing rabbits (voiced by Henson), his stories only bemuse everyone; they'd rather prepare for the upcoming spring festival. Escaping into a rich fantasy life, Bean soon overcomes his fears and then finds practical ways to be a hero for a day. Jam-packed with music, The Tale of Bunny Picnic illustrates the enormity of Henson's vision in presenting multiple Muppet-like characters on screen at one time; there's a real sense of community. A cousin to his Fraggle Rock programs, this show will appeal to all folks age 3 and up. --Doug Thomas

This review is from: Jim Henson Video: The Tale of the Bunny Picnic [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this is a must see for people of all ages. if you liked such masterpieces as the muppets, and fraggle rock then the muppet bunnies are for you. the cutest story line ever. little bean bunny is too smal, to be allowed to do anything and is ridiculed for believing a dog is out to spoil the bunny fun, but EVERYONE involved is in for a big surprise! it has some great catchy songs, a wonderful story line, and amazingly cute characters that it is all too easy to fall madly in love with. i have watched it since i was four, and will continue to do so. YOU MUST SEE IT!

I luckliy saw this movie when watching the Disney channel when I was like eight years old; ever since then I have been looking for this movie on video. It is a must see muppet movie one that everyone will cherish,and with Easter coming up, it would be perfect for the holidays. Henson created one of the cutest muppet charachters named Bean. Every child will fall in love with him; I know I did!

I have two children aged 9 and 13 and both have watched this video from being very small children. It is a classic and should be released in the UK for all to enjoy. We happened upon it one day and taped on our home video. Since then it has been watched so many times that it is worn out and I am trying to get another copy of it. We will keep it forever. This is a must for all families.
