Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe calendars through which the time machine falls into the various holidays are all correct for the year the film was released, 1971 ... including New Year's Day and the holidays following, in which (if the holidays were visited in sequence) the calendars should have rolled over to the next year.
- GoofsAntoine asks "in the rules of April Valley, does it say that the eggs must be given on Easter?" to which Peter replies no. Peter then eventually gives away eggs on St. Patrick's Day. But Colonel Bunny said earlier that whoever delivers the most eggs on Easter becomes the new ruler of April Valley and Chief Easter Bunny. Thus, Peter shouldn't have won at the end.

Seymour S. Sassafras: Now of course it's all very nice here, thanks to Peter Cottontail and... hmm? You've never heard of Peter Cottontail? Great chattering chick-chicks!

- Alternate versionsThe Blu-ray release from Classic Media/Universal has most of the songs shortened or removed in their entirety, due to an edited-for-TV print being used.

Featured review
Another giant ball of fun from Rankin and Bass!
What is easily one of the best Rankin and Bass specials, is also the most obscure. The story follows Peter basically traveling to different holidays (because Easter is lame) not unlike "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The most memorable scene is of course, Halloween. The enemy is very cool as well, an iron-tailed rabbit named, er, Irontail. I definitely recommend this for anyone who likes "Rudolph" or "Mad Monster Party".
