Reviews

Eggbert

Kenneth KinseyJuly 13, 2017

This episode featured something of a break from the usual educational/informative material - it's a whimsical song about a rabbit who suffers from hay fever, made more obvious in the refrain: "I'm Eggbert, the sneezy rabbit/Ah-CHOO, ah-CHOO, ah-CHOO!" Eventually the lupine happens upon a WWI-era gas mask; by the end of the song his vocals are muffled (due to the mask on his face) but at least his head is clear: "I'm Eggbert, the sneezy rabbit/Hello, hello, hello!" Unfortunately, I do not recall anything about the rest of the 'toon, but given the known content (a rabbit named Eggbert) one could safely assume it had an Easter theme.
