Two fabulous fantasies for kids of all ages!
Can a ragtag baseball team from Planet Earth stand up to the Alien All-Stars, intergalactic champs for 800 years—who don't even play the game by earthbound rules?
Will Jack Rabbit, the Easter Bunny, on hand for a whiz-bang Celebrity Roast to mark his retirement from show biz, really hang up his basket and head out for greener pastures?
The answers are in the multi-talented hands of Nelvana Productions, today's top animation house. And with Nelvana, you're in very good hands indeed.
Critics have called them the greatest thing in children's animation since the Disney era. Their award-winning programs have lit up holiday seasons with special magic. And now, Warner Home Video brings home a double feature of their latest and most spectacular hits.
Take Me Up To The Ballgame takes off with the inimitable voice of Phil Silvers as an interplanetary promoter who hustles a sandlot team into celestial competition, all to the tune of music by Rick Danko of The Band.
The Jack Rabbit Story (Easter Fever) stars such recognizable show-stoppers as Steed Martin, a wild and crazy gnu, and Don Rattles, a venom-tongued serpent—as well as the real-life voices of Saturday Night Live's Garrett Morris and Second City's Catherine O'Hara, plus a fine score by John Sebastian.
What does it take to turn out animated masterpieces of this quality? A staff of 100, 40 full-time animators, 35,000 sheets of acetate, six months of hard work, and 1600 cups of coffee per week.
The results are more than worth the effort. Nelvana is a nirvana for the kind of daringly conceived and fully realized fantasies once sadly thought to be a thing of the past. And should you find yourself glued to the screen alongside your children, don't be surprised.
Why should kids have all the fun?

01:00Why don't you just snap?
01:02It's all yours, Cat.
01:04It's a snap.
01:05Easy, out.
01:11Oh, no.
01:13Not again.
01:14Wake up, you.
01:16You nature lover.
01:17Aw, get the salami face out of here.
01:20I will not.
01:22He's on our team.
01:23We'll get somebody else.
01:25I want to win.
01:26No way, Leroy.
01:27Cat stays.
01:29Basic facts.
01:30We'll never win with you as captain.
01:32All you care about is being fair.
01:33That's better than being a sore loser.
01:36We'll never win if we keep putting each other down.
01:40Stand up.
01:40Hurry.
01:41All you care about is being fair.
01:42Hey!
01:43Hey, let's go.
01:44Hi!
01:45What the hell?
01:46Come on.
01:59Ah!
01:59Uh-huh.
02:00Hey, anybody want to play some baseball?
02:17All right, you're on.
02:21Hey, hey, hey.
02:22Wait a second, mister.
02:24Those are cows.
02:30Hey, this ain't no baseball team.
02:53You guys aren't from around here, are you?
02:58Hey, you're very observant.
03:00I like that.
03:01Say, are you by any chance a baseball team?
03:05That's a matter of opinion.
03:07Sure, we're a team.
03:09We're the, uh, Giants.
03:11The Giants.
03:13Well, I am impressed.
03:15Let me introduce myself.
03:16Erwin's a name, promoting the game.
03:19And I have to say I like your style.
03:21You're quick, you're slick, you don't miss a trick.
03:23I think I can use you.
03:24Hold it.
03:26I know I can use you.
03:27How would you like to take a little road trip?
03:29Expenses paid.
03:30Hold that.
03:32Most expenses paid.
03:33Would we be home in time for supper?
03:36Absolutely.
03:37Trust me.
03:38Sure.
03:40Where to?
03:41Oh, out there, not far.
03:44As space goes.
03:45Space?
03:46The final frontier?
03:48You mean they play baseball?
03:50In outer space?
03:52Do we play baseball?
03:53Do we play baseball?
03:54Do we play baseball?
03:56Do we play baseball?
03:57Do we play baseball?
03:59Relax.
04:01Well, are you game for a game?
04:03A friendly little interstellar encounter?
04:06You might have to go easy, of course.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Well, I'd like to see a Martian hit my fastball.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Okay.
04:14Get me the commissioner.
04:15Collect, of course.
04:17It's good news tonight.
04:20Gosh, fellas.
04:22This looks like the end for the great game of baseball.
04:25For the first time in 800 years, there won't be any playoffs.
04:30Nobody is willing to challenge the champs.
04:33You mean nobody's dumb enough?
04:35They're too good.
04:37Yeah.
04:38They've never even lost a game.
04:40Lost a game?
04:41They've never even been scored on.
04:43Is there no fighting spirit left?
04:45Hello?
04:49You found a team.
04:51Yahoo!
04:53Land the Goshen!
04:54The playoffs will go on after all.
04:58Baseball is saved.
05:00The traditions of competition and team spirit shall not die.
05:05Zillions of baseball fans all over the universe.
05:09Sure.
05:09Right.
05:10Where are they from?
05:11Earth.
05:11Wow.
05:12I didn't know they played baseball way out there.
05:16Are they good?
05:17Will they have a chance against the champs?
05:20Trust me.
05:21These guys are dynamite.
05:23Fantastic.
05:24They're called the Giants.
05:27Gosh.
05:28Giants.
05:29What do they look like?
05:34They've got ten heads, 18 arms, 22 feet, four with hoops.
05:39Ouch!
05:41Hey!
05:41Two horns, a bunch of tails, nine different kinds of fur and a curved beak, and feathers.
05:48Wow!
05:49I think you're in trouble this time, Irwin.
05:51Your boys have never faced a team like this.
05:55Right.
05:55Absolutely.
05:56Are you really worried?
05:59Hey, boys, what are you going to do when they see these jokers?
06:03They won't.
06:04At least not until we get our bets down.
06:06Step on them.
06:07We've got money to make.
06:08We've got money to make.
06:08We've got some baseballers.
06:18Hey, kids, I want to tell you the honest story.
06:24I said, kids, you've got to trust me.
06:30You won't be sorry.
06:32I've watched you play the game.
06:38Now you're ready for a brand new league.
06:41Don't get scared.
06:43Don't get scared.
06:45I know the game.
06:47You've got to trust me.
06:50You're going to trust me.
06:56You're going to trust me.
06:58You're going to trust me.
07:00You're going to trust me.
07:02In front of your middle name.
07:03Don't get scared.
07:04You know the game.
07:06You're going to trust me.
07:09You're going to trust me.
07:18There it is.
07:20Irwin Satellite Baseball Stadium.
07:22Wow.
07:23Geez.
07:25Oh, boy.
07:26It's just like science fiction.
07:30Yeah, really thrilling, okay?
07:31Prepare for landing.
07:34Hey, where's my body?
07:36Keep them out of sight while I go to the press conference.
07:54Check-a-rooney.
07:56All right.
07:56How do you like it?
07:57Pretty nice, eh?
07:58The boss spares no expense.
08:00Towels for rent over there.
08:03Hey, got any Martians around here?
08:07Hey.
08:08Why the locks?
08:10Uh, this is a, uh, a locker room.
08:15Yeah.
08:15Yeah, right.
08:16A locker room.
08:17Yeah.
08:17A locker room.
08:19Gentlemen of the Universal Press, I promise you this will be the game of the century.
08:26Really, guys, it's going to be great.
08:28Right, Ruby?
08:29Right.
08:30You're doing great, baby.
08:32I've taken the liberty, gentlemen.
08:34The Giants.
08:36Can we see them?
08:40Maybe get a few shots, Commissioner?
08:42What do you think?
08:42Well, they haven't been fed yet.
08:44We wouldn't want you guys to get hurt.
08:46Let's try it.
08:47Let's take it.
08:48Now, let's stop.
08:50Yeah.
08:51Let's start.
08:52Yeah, yeah.
08:54Yeah, sure.
08:55I'm going to take a bag process in here.
08:58Today's a big day and just look at this crap.
09:04Hi, I'm Erd Loftus and I'll be covering today's game.
09:07Now, this mysterious team of giants from Earth has really sparked fan interest.
09:13They've come from all over. They want to see this game at any cost.
09:17Hey, where's my change?
09:19No change.
09:20Next.
09:20What do you mean, no change?
09:23They're fighting together.
09:24And they're all asking the same question.
09:27Where's my change?
09:29No.
09:30Who are these giants from Earth, anyway?
09:33All right, everybody. Listen up.
09:35This is it. We've got one chance.
09:40Just one chance to win.
09:43One chance for Earth.
09:45One chance to play like a real team.
09:49That's four chances, four eyes.
09:55If we all pull together, we'll play a whole lot better.
10:00Cat, pay attention.
10:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:05We're going to play hard, but we're going to play clean.
10:09We're representing Earth here.
10:12There's a principle involved.
10:14There's a principle involved.
10:17There's a principle involved.
10:19Blah.
10:19Where's my cone?
10:21Remember, every player is just as important from the pitcher to the outfielder.
10:32Why can't you guys ever act like a team?
10:35Five minutes to game time, team.
10:44Here we are, high atop the Coliseum.
10:48The stadium is just packed as we await the two teams.
10:51And here come the All-Stars.
10:53I don't think I've ever seen them better prepared for a game.
11:04Boy, look at that coordination.
11:06I tell you, sports fans, even watching this team warm up is watching poetry in motion.
11:12And there, of course, is the captain of the team.
11:15It's always a pleasure to see professionals in action.
11:19And now, a hush comes over this mammoth crowd as we await the imminent appearance of the Earth team.
11:26And here they come.
11:27And here they come.
11:45This place is huge.
11:48Holy cow.
11:57Let me go.
11:58What's the matter, you chickening out?
12:02You said it was just a little game.
12:05Come on, now.
12:06Come on.
12:06I want to go home.
12:07You spaghetti cat.
12:09That's Earth.
12:12Perfect.
12:13I want my chain.
12:15We never should have trusted Erwin.
12:18Now, that hurts.
12:20But I'll overlook it because this is bigger than one man.
12:23You can't give up now.
12:25Where's your pride?
12:26You're representing Earth.
12:28Does Earth give up?
12:29Are Earthlings quitters?
12:32No.
12:33Erwin's right.
12:35This is for Earth.
12:36Come on, you guys.
12:38We'll show them.
12:39You'll see.
12:41Oh, what suckers.
12:43Erwin.
12:45They're so small.
12:47What you get in?
12:49It's a clever disguise.
12:50They look small, but they play like giants.
12:53Trust me.
12:56That's a very good disguise.
13:00The game is now about to get underway as the umpire approaches home plate.
13:05Play ball.
13:10And here comes Earth's first hitter.
13:13We'll soon find out what this team of giants is made of.
13:20Here's a wind up.
13:22And here's the pitch.
13:25Swung on and hit.
13:27Yep.
13:28The champs are off for a fine start with their famous three-outer ball.
13:34Out.
13:34Out.
13:35And out.
13:36Three outs.
13:38And it's one up and three away for Earth.
13:43The...
13:43The...
13:44That's cheating.
13:47Okay.
13:48Okay.
13:49If that's the way they want to play, I know what to do.
13:52Me too.
13:53Me...
13:54Uh...
13:55Three.
13:56No, you don't, you guys.
13:58No tricks.
13:59Remember, we're representing Earth.
14:01And Earth doesn't cheat.
14:03Earth plays fair.
14:04All right, all right.
14:08Here's the wind up.
14:10Here's the pitch.
14:11It's a hit.
14:14Well, looks like the All-Stars are going to drop the big one early.
14:23Yes, sir.
14:27Bates come out every time.
14:31Here's the pitch.
14:34What's this?
14:36Why, it's the old eight ball in the side pocket.
14:40Irwin, are you sure about this?
14:43Don't worry.
14:44Wait till they warm up.
14:46Well, we'd better make this look good.
14:48And after one full inning,
14:59the All-Stars have been held to 99 runs on 67 hits
15:04with 13 errors by the Earth team.
15:16What's the score?
15:18Oh, no, don't tell me.
15:22Who's on first?
15:24Oh, it can't be.
15:28Is this the game?
15:31I don't want to play.
15:34Do they call this fun?
15:37Is this okay?
15:40Yeah, together
15:41it will get better.
15:44We'll find a way.
15:53No, they don't have his feet.
15:55Wait a little longer.
15:59Come on, do your worst.
16:02I double dare you.
16:05Push me down.
16:06I'll come back a little stronger.
16:09Please don't leave me here
16:13in outer space.
16:16Take me back
16:20to home base.
16:22Together
16:23it will get better.
16:27We're on our way.
16:31One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
16:39You're out.
16:40I thought you said they were good.
16:45So I was wrong.
16:47You still trust me, don't you?
16:49This is terrible.
16:50I've got to do something.
16:52Time out.
16:53Time out.
16:54Tie on, everybody.
16:55Stop.
16:55Hey, fellas.
16:58What's the trouble?
16:59You're not giving the champs much of a game.
17:01How can we?
17:02They cheat.
17:05Cheating?
17:06What do you mean, cheating?
17:09That's the way the great game of baseball is played.
17:12It's not the way we play it.
17:14We play by the rules.
17:16But nobody's played by the rules for hundreds of years.
17:19I guess we're just more advanced than you are.
17:22You're not.
17:23You're cheaters.
17:24Yeah, a bunch of cheaters.
17:27Hey, listen up, Pete.
17:29We got to cheat, too.
17:31We can't stand in the way of progress.
17:34That's right.
17:35It is not.
17:36Yeah, it isn't fair.
17:39No way.
17:40Why not?
17:42Yes, I mean, gee whiz, fellas.
17:44Why not?
17:45Yeah, why not cheat?
17:48Because, because, because, uh, because cheaters.
17:53Never prosper.
17:54Never prosper.
17:55Never prosper.
17:57Never prosper.
17:57Never prosper.
18:01Well, you heard it here first, folks.
18:06Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
18:09You see that?
18:11They're laughing at us.
18:13We got to cheat.
18:14We do not.
18:16Let her up.
18:18Oh, no.
18:20Not, Cat.
18:22Here.
18:23You'll need these.
18:26Well, here's a real character.
18:29Here's the pitch.
18:30It's a hit.
18:32I'm real.
18:34Cat hit the ball.
18:35Yeah, but, but he's running the wrong way.
18:39No, Cat.
18:40The other way.
18:41Go, Cat.
18:42Go.
18:44Ha, ha, ha.
18:45The all-stars can't believe their eyes.
18:48They're laughing their heads off.
18:50Hey, he's squeezed by first, then he's going for a double.
19:02The champs can't seem to put a lid on this guy.
19:09He's heading for third.
19:15This little guy's tightrope in his way to home.
19:17Oh, no.
19:20Watch out.
19:22This'll slow him down.
19:25He's over the wall.
19:27I can't believe it.
19:29Safe.
19:30The incredible is just it.
19:33Earth has scored the first run ever against the champs.
19:36For the first time ever, their tactics have failed to work.
19:40Go get them, Rude.
19:44It's another hit.
19:46This is incredible.
19:47Earth, by playing fair, is closing the gap.
19:51The champs' skillful maneuvers are being used against them,
19:53but they seem to enjoy the challenge.
19:55Could it be that cheaters really don't prosper?
19:58We're all in this together.
20:02Safe.
20:05We're gonna turn your game around.
20:08You can't keep a good team down forever.
20:18This little team, well, it's baseball glory bound.
20:23A fly ball, a ground ball, let it roll.
20:32A curveball, a screwball, I can't say roll.
20:37Cheaters never prosper.
20:47And losers never win.
20:51You can hit a double, you can hit a triple, you can get a home run.
21:01But what's for you, sir, if you can't say you've had some fun?
21:06A fastball, a slow ball, a plate ball.
21:15A meatball, a blue silver.
21:19And that's all.
21:21You were right, Erwin.
21:27This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to baseball.
21:31Yeah.
21:32Hooray, great.
21:33I'm on a book of flight to Argentina.
21:40Safe.
21:41What a great game.
21:48Trailing by one run.
21:50The all-stars have loaded the bases.
21:52Earth leads by one run.
21:55Can they hold on?
21:57This is a catastrophe.
21:59Wake up.
22:00One out to go, and Earth's done it.
22:03Well, wait a second.
22:04Here's a pitch hitter.
22:07Here's the pitch.
22:09Swung on and missed.
22:11Steer right.
22:12Come on, Leroy, baby.
22:13Have a way to check Apple.
22:15With the game on the line, they're going for broke.
22:18Over to you, Bob.
22:21He's dusting the plate.
22:24Another swing and another miss.
22:26That's two strikes.
22:27Steer right, too.
22:29One more strike could cost the all-stars the game.
22:35This is incredible.
22:36They're pulling out all the stops, not to mention the benches.
22:39They wind up.
22:43Pitch.
22:45What a smash.
22:47He's knocked it clean out of sight.
22:49This new hitter belted that ball like a kick on a Tennessee mule.
22:52The Giants are running every which way.
22:55What a scramble.
22:56What are they going to do?
22:58You can't catch what you can't see.
23:00That ball could come down anywhere.
23:02This runner's got all four legs in overdrive.
23:05Oh, too bad for Earth.
23:07That ball looks like it's going into the stands.
23:10But wait.
23:11Those little Giants haven't run out of ideas yet.
23:13He's rounding third.
23:15They just won't give up.
23:17Will they make this catch?
23:19Will Earth become the new champs of the universe?
23:24The ball's coming down.
23:27They're throwing everything they've got into it.
23:30Oh, no.
23:32Wait.
23:33He caught it.
23:34You're out.
23:37The Giants have knocked the champs right out.
23:42I said, you're out.
23:45Yeah.
23:49Earth wins.
23:51You can keep the change.
24:01See, Leeroy, I told you.
24:03We did it.
24:04Fair and square.
24:18Hey, kids.
24:20You want to be home in time for supper, don't you?
24:24First mile is free, kids.
24:28Just kidding.
24:30By the way, great game, kids.
24:33Yeah, terrific game.
24:34Fantastic game.
24:35Stupendous.
24:36It was a giant game.
24:38Colossal game.
24:40Huge.
24:41Fantastic.
24:42Greatest game I ever saw.
24:43Super stupendous.
24:45Biggest thing in the galaxy.
24:48Intergalactically outstanding among the stars of baseball.
24:54Hop you there.
24:55Take many of us.
24:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
24:57Sorry.
24:57Bye.
25:02Bye.
25:07Bye.
25:07Bye.
25:09Bye.
25:13Bye.
25:18Bye.
25:19Bye.
25:19Bye.
25:20Bye.
25:20Tonight, live, it's the Friars Club Celebrity Roast.
25:36Guest-starring the Wahoo-Ganoo, Steed Martin.
25:39Wahoo!

25:51And our own Roastmaster, Don Rattles.
25:54Will you porn that silly?
25:56All here tonight to honor the animal of the hour, Jack the Easter Rabbit!
26:02Wow!
26:03Too much!
26:04The Easter Rabbit, here!
26:06In person.
26:08He's hanging up his basket tonight.
26:10Retiring.
26:11That's not true.
26:12Is too?
26:14I read it in the paper.
26:15He's quitting.
26:18He can't do that.
26:20The time flies by so swiftly
26:29When you're having fun
26:31Delivering those Easter eggs
26:34But now my time is come
26:38He can't retire.
26:39I'm going up to the country
26:43My egg hunt days are through
26:45I'd like to quit while I'm ahead
26:48Like all good champions do
26:50So please don't worry about me, baby
26:54I'll be in good hands
26:56I'm packing up my basket
26:58To give someone else a chance
27:01Cause Easter been very good to me
27:05So think of which of you it just might be
27:10I'll tell you quite confidentially
27:15Yes, Easter
27:18Been very good to me
27:20Yes, Easter
27:23Been very, very good to me
27:26I gotta stop this
27:30You're an ard vark
27:33So vark ard
27:36Jack, you know what you can do now
27:40To make ends meet?
27:42Wrench your front teeth out as a billboard
27:44I'm going to finish you off later, Jack
27:47Cause right now I want to bring up
27:49The one and only Santa Claus
27:50That's a nice tan, Santa
27:55Where did you get it?
27:56Christmas Island?
27:56No, no
27:57Thank you, Virginia
27:59Yeah, thank you
28:01Thank you, thank you
28:02Oh, you're beautiful, really
28:03No, don't stop
28:04No, love you all
28:05Now, there's a story
28:08That nobody knows
28:10Thank you
28:11And I think that it's fitting
28:13Here on the eve of Jack's retirement
28:15To tell how the world got
28:17It's one and only Easter rabbit
28:19Now, Jack was born many years ago
28:23In the spring
28:24Get those rabbits!
28:29Come on, go get them!
28:31Hey!
28:34Hey, what's happening?
28:38Yo, ma
28:40Abandoned as a baby
28:43He was rescued and raised by chickens
28:46Very early on he realized
28:56That he was not like other chicks
28:58Quick like a bunny
29:02Quick like a bunny
29:12So he tried never to forget
29:15That he was a rabbit
29:17Though that didn't stop him
29:20From trying to please
29:21His adopted parents
29:22Go keep trying, son
29:27Christmas came
29:28As it always does
29:30And they were very kind to him
29:33Even though they were very poor
29:35Oh no, Jack's present must have fallen out
29:50Oh no, Jack's present must have fallen out
30:04Oh, oh, oh
30:06I'll find it, ma
30:07Don't worry
30:09It's here
30:10Somewhere
30:11There
30:11Don't cry, mama
30:13No, it's over there
30:16I think it's over there
30:18I see it
30:19Gotcha!
30:29Whoops!
30:29It's beautiful
30:35Jack, what did Santa bring you?
30:40An egg
30:41And I had to find it myself
30:45That's what you get for living with chickens
30:48Oh boy, what a clock clock
30:51You gotta write Santa and tell him what you want
30:54But Jack knew the gift of the egg was special
30:57And I guess he thought I was pretty special, too
30:59Because I soon started hearing from him quite a lot
31:02Hey, Santa
31:04Thanks for the egg
31:06You are grade A all the way, man
31:09Well
31:11Christmas is past
31:13And Jack grew up
31:15Sort of
31:15But he could never quite decide what he would be
31:19Until one Easter holiday
31:21I hate Easter holidays
31:33They're so dull
31:35Come on
31:36Easter's just like Christmas
31:38Where's your spirit?
31:40Right, oh sure, clock clock
31:42Don't you know nothing?
31:44Christmas is for kids
31:45Easter is for grown-ups
31:47Yeah
31:49All my Christmas toys are broken already, eh?
31:51You should've got an egg
31:53Yeah
31:53How about that egg?
31:56Hey, come on, get that egg
31:57Jack knew they didn't mean anything by it
31:59They were just bored
32:00But he wanted very much to make them happy
32:02Make them his friends
32:03So that's when he made his decision
32:06To play Santa Claus
32:08Hup-sha, hup-sha, quick
32:10And though he had no money for gifts
32:12He had plenty of eggs
32:13Ain't that funny, now
32:14Hup-sha, hup-sha, quick
32:15And like a bunny
32:16I ain't that funny
32:19Hup-sha, hup-sha, quick
32:21Like I'm funny
32:22Hup-sha, hup-sha, quick
32:24Like I'm funny
32:25Hup-sha, hup-sha
32:26Y'all, get up!
32:44And that Easter morning, all the children found something quite special.
32:50Oh, boy, eh?
32:54I found an Easter egg.
32:56I found an Easter egg.
32:58Me, too.
33:00Where do you think the Easter eggs come from?
33:03The egg fairy.
33:04The moon, eh?
33:05A very generous chicken.
33:08Nope.
33:08The Easter rabbit brought them.
33:10I saw him.
33:11Jack the Easter rabbit.
33:13Jack?
33:14Ah, Jack the Easter rabbit?
33:17And so Jack the Easter rabbit, well, he found his true path in life.
33:24And Easter became the kids' second favorite holiday.
33:29Second favorite?
33:29What do you mean, second favorite?
33:31Wait, do you think you're number one or something?
33:33I mean, because of the Gallup, I...
33:36Gotta get out there and talk to Jack.
33:38I gotta talk Jack out of retiring.
33:53Psst.
33:55Mr. Easter rabbit?
33:56That again?
33:59You've got lots of work in the kitchen.
34:02So start kitchen up.
34:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
34:06And now we have an old friend of Jack's.
34:09A celebrity in his own right.
34:12Lots of rats.
34:14You know, Jackie and me, we come from the same neighborhood.
34:19Only Jack got into his career a lot earlier than me.
34:22And it's no secret that I was always jealous of old clock clock.
34:26Jealous?
34:27Man, you did everything you could to make my life a downright drag.
34:32True, but if I hadn't, you might never have won the hand of Scarlet your future missus.
34:37It all happened one year when Easter and romance hit Jack about the same time.
34:42It was the week before Easter, and Jack was in last-minute training.
35:03I'm up, I'm down, I'm on the floor.
35:06This crazy chemistry has got me slipping, sliding, darling, falling out of trees.
35:12Ooh, boop, boop, boop.
35:14Woo-ha!
35:15Could I ask you for a day?
35:18If not, would you please call if there is any change?
35:22Woo, I'm up, I'm down, I'm on the floor.
35:25Woo-ha!
35:25I'm down, I'm down.
35:26I'm up, I'm down.
35:28Woo-ha!
35:29I'm up, I'm down.
35:30Ah-ha!
35:32The Easter rabbit's cracking up!
35:34The Easter rabbit's cracking up!
35:36Well, you know, there's something wrong when the Easter rabbit starts to drop the Easter eggs.
35:40So it was decided that love-struck Jack wasn't fit to deliver that year, and open auditions were held for a replacement.
35:49Naturally, I was there bright and oily, ready to prove I could do the job.
35:54Of course, a lot of other animals had the same idea.
35:58Next.
35:59Here comes Peter Easterbath flopping.
36:05Next.
36:10Next.
36:14Next.
36:21Hey there, beautiful bunny.
36:24I'm Jack.
36:25And I'm busy.
36:26Oh, Ma Cherie.
36:29Baby, let me look at you.
36:31I mean all of you, Mama.
36:33I want to drive you wild.
36:36Sorry, I never accept rides from strangers.
36:39But you, you don't know how much you mean to me.
36:42I don't know how much you mean to me.
36:44I don't know how much I mean by much.
36:46I only know I love...
36:47Woo-hoo-hoo!
36:49Next.
36:52Hey, you dumb bunny!
36:54I'm next!
36:55Wait your turn, fella.
36:56Come on!
37:02Congratulations.
37:03You will have the honor of delivering the Easter eggs this year.
37:08I will?
37:11Well, I was so ticked off, I could have eaten fleas.
37:14And I went right downtown where I spoke up to a tough gang of rats.
37:18And I swear, this is the truth.
37:23I ran the fastest time of all the animals, but they disqualified me because I was too short.
37:30Too short.
37:32We all know the real reason was because I was too rat.
37:36No one wants an Easter rat, and that's a bit of cheese to swallow, especially because I deserved it.
37:45So I say we take action and put the Easter basket back where it belongs in these little rodent hands.
37:54Are you with me?
37:55Let's go together!
37:56Knock, knock.
37:59Jack, go away.
38:00I'm coming out.
38:01But, Bunnikins, I adore you.
38:05And she adores me.
38:07And she adores me.
38:29And she's not really good.
38:32And she's not really good.
38:33I love you.
38:33I love you.
38:34I love you.
38:36I love you.
38:37Jack, oh, Jack, come on.
38:56Huptcha, huptcha, Scott, it's in trouble.
39:07Jack, Scarlet, come on.
39:36We've still got time to deliver the eggs.
39:42Then I hit him again and again,
39:44a left and a right and vice versa,
39:46till he went down for the count.
39:47I grabbed the basket and...
39:49Well, it would have been a bad ending.
39:56No hard feelings, Jack.
39:58Nope, none at all.
40:00Easter's been very good to me.
40:06I've got to stop him somehow.
40:12Well, before we put Jack out to pasture,
40:16here's Steve Martin.
40:18Wahoo-hoo.
40:19Well, Easter rabbit quits.
40:22I mean, this certainly is hair-raising news.
40:24I've got to stop him somehow.
40:26We're having a good time now while we can't.
40:29Yes, yes, yes, yes, road thing.
40:32You know, a lot of people come to me and they say,
40:34Steve, how can you be so gosh darn lucky?
40:37Well, there's no secret to it.
40:38It's no big deal.
40:39Before I go on, I put a horseshoe in each one of my socks.
40:43So when I'm on stage,
40:44I feel four times luckier than the average canoe.
40:49Ha-ha-ha-ha.
40:50Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
40:52Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
40:55Gee, I always like to do one thing that is impossible,
40:57so right now I'm going to blow this horn into my lungs.
41:04Wahoo!
41:07Isn't this nice, Jack?
41:08You get to stay up late with all the big people.
41:10Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
41:12Well, fittingly, we've saved the least for last.
41:15So without further ado,
41:17here's a scrawny chicken.
41:20Thank you for that herdy introduction, Mr. Rattles.
41:24I've known Jack ever since he was a small fry.
41:28We lost touch for a spell,
41:30but the night we met up again will live deep in my memory.
41:34Jack was mighty short on eggs that Easter
41:37because it was the year of the mystery egg shortage.
41:40But it was no mystery to us chickens
41:43because we were being rustled.
41:45Hey, scrawny, I need a favor.
41:48Whoops.
41:48Ah-ha-ha.
41:56A cracked egg.
41:58Another cracked egg.
42:01Eggs Benedict.
42:04Eggs Benedict.
42:08This tastes like the work of that wacko,
42:11mad on my leg, the TV chef.
42:13Hupcha, hupcha.
42:13Picks like a bunny.
42:14What shall we cook today?
42:21I'm really in the mood
42:23for a certain special dish.
42:26How I love exotic foods.
42:28Ah, the bigger, the better, the more, the merrier.
42:31Now let us proceed
42:33with the world's largest omelet,
42:36my personal recipe.
42:37Ah, oh, dear.
42:39Now the first thing we need today
42:44is an 80-foot frying pan.
42:47You can borrow one from a friend
42:49if you don't have one on hand.
42:52Now the world's largest spatula
42:54to help build arms and legs
42:57while we stir the main ingredient,
43:00two million eggs.
43:02So set your egg cracker
43:09to two million.
43:12Now let's take a look
43:14at the big board
43:15to see how close we are
43:17to the magic number.
43:19Hmm.
43:20We're quite short of our goal.
43:23Now come on, you out there.
43:25Give generously.
43:27Well, if we don't get
43:34two million eggs,
43:35we can always make
43:37a super-duper world's
43:39largest chicken pot pie.
43:42Here's one I prepared earlier.
43:44Let's warm it up a bit,
43:46shall we?
43:47Oh!
43:57Here comes number two million now!
44:14Standby camera for the big crack-up!
44:20What is this?
44:23Is this any way to treat an egg?
44:25Just who do you think
44:28you are interrupting my show?
44:30What?
44:31You do not even recognize
44:33Chef Antoine
44:34of the Académie Gastronomique?
44:36I am insulted!
44:38Antoine?
44:39The Antoine?
44:41Oh, dear!
44:42Oh, we all here
44:43would be so honored
44:44to have you on the show!
44:45Wouldn't we?
44:55No, not under these
44:58barbaric conditions!
45:00From whom did you learn
45:02to make eggs?
45:03Humpty Dumpty?
45:04They're only eggs!
45:07Only?
45:08And what is this?
45:09Roots?
45:10Chicken style?
45:12Unshackle these hens
45:13this instant!
45:15What a cross out!
45:16Oh, I'm so sorry!
45:17Now, get those eggs
45:22back to their rightful chicken
45:24so they can be preheated
45:26in the proper manner!
45:28Sacreble!
45:29Antoine, while we're waiting,
45:33how about a little hors d'oeuvre?
45:36What do you have in mind?
45:39Strawberry?
45:42Kisses!
45:43Everyone, Easter Rabbit
45:55is certainly a rare forbidden dish,
45:59so scrap the omelet!
46:00Take a short stretch of railroad track
46:03and a full hand of steam!
46:13Time for a commercial!
46:21Oh, of course!
46:23Want to lose those kitchen blues,
46:25but here's a gadget you can't refuse.
46:27The amazing Malig world,
46:29beater, beater, beater.
46:31Yes!
46:31With the beater, beater, beater,
46:33you can cook better, better, better.
46:35It slices, dices, cuts and chops,
46:38onions, tomatoes,
46:40and even large mops.
46:41It can't cut bricks,
46:43rugs,
46:44and lops of goo.
46:46It can't cut steel girders,
46:48but then, uh,
46:49who'd want to dance
46:51with the beater, beater, beater?
46:53You're a winner, winner, winner!
46:55Ha, ha, ha, ha!
46:58And Jack saved the eggs,
47:01saved the chickens,
47:02and saved his kids' Easter
47:04in one swell fluke.
47:06Fell soup.
47:08Gosh, I love this bunny.
47:10And now,
47:12here's one of the greatest guys
47:14in the world,
47:15Jack the Easter Rabbit.
47:17Ha, ha, ha, ha,
47:18thanks, Don.
47:20You really choked me up.
47:22Ha, ha, ha.
47:23Oh, well,
47:24retirement is a big word,
47:25but simply it means goodbye.
47:28And before I say it,
47:29you know...
47:30Thanks, thanks,
47:30but we're running
47:30just a little late.
47:32Come on, guys,
47:33bring it on.
47:33Bring it on stage.
47:34That's it.
47:34One more thing.
47:46A gift from us kids.
47:49After all,
47:50this is your last Easter,
47:51Jack, so...
47:52An egg.
47:54How nice.
47:56Not just any egg,
47:57Mr. Easter Rabbit.
47:58This is the last Easter egg.
48:00This is it,
48:05Mr. Easter Rabbit.
48:06After tonight,
48:07there won't be
48:08any more Easter eggs.
48:10No, no.
48:11Someone else will.
48:13There won't be
48:14any someone else.
48:16You're the Easter Bunny.
48:18No one else.
48:20Jack,
48:21you can't quit.
48:23The kid's right,
48:24cluck, cluck.
48:25Don't quit.
48:26Don't quit.
48:27Oh, why the don't quit?
48:29No, no.
48:30He said,
48:31don't quit.
48:32Don't quit.
48:33Don't quit.
48:34Don't quit.
48:36Don't quit.
48:37Don't quit.
48:38Don't quit.
48:38No.
48:39There just can't be
