Synopsis for the Cartoon Special The First Easter Rabbit

Burl Ives narrates in a fanciful, tuneful and color-splashed tale of the first Easter rabbit, whose mission is to deliver specially painted eggs to good children. Glinda has scarlet fever, so her cuddly toy rabbit Stuffy and all her other possessions have to be destroyed. But a flower fairy magically brings Stuffy to life, and she tells him that he will be the first Easter rabbit. She sends him on a difficult journey to Easter Valley, an enchanted realm where it's always springtime, where the bunny hopes to bring the first-ever basket of Easter goodies to children. But a cold-hearted ice creature named Zero refuses to permit such happiness. If he has his way, he'll freeze out Easter celebrations forever!
