He did nothing wrong
>>153028418i want to fix him
>>153028418This was such a fucking bizarre holiday special, the entire thing feels like a fever dream.
>>153028418Didn’t this get a CGI sequel?
>>153028418You know I thought I knew all thr Rankin Bass crack, but I don't recognize this guy, some kinda easter bunny villain?
>>153029175Did it?
>>153028418Is that Hitler?
>>153029189January Q. Irontail. A kid ran over his tail with a roller skate and ever since he wanted to ruin Easter.>>153030097>>153029175Yeah it did. Never saw it.
>>153029137Still way better than that other Easter one they did.
>>153030154Hare Hitler!
>>153031012HIDEOUS
>>153029137>Peter Rabbit loses the competition to Hitler Rabbit because Hitler Rabbit gave Peters Flintstone alarm clock bubble gum and Peter slept in>Peter then joins forces with a worm with the head of a frenchman who has a flying time machine >Peter goes holiday to holiday trying to trick people into taking his eggs while Hitler Rabbit is thwarting his attempts with the help of his Bat mountIt is a weird one thats for sure.
>>153031502O mein Gott
Even stranger is the Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, where the conflict revolves around a sea hag who needs gold before Christmas or else she melts, but the Leprechaun doesn't give it to her because he's a greedy spiteful cunt, and she dies, and it's portrayed as a good thing. And something about Christmas.Rankin Bass was throwing shit at the wall by the end.
>>153031012>kid runs over his tail>becomes evilWhy did so many Rankin-Bass villains get unreasonably pissed off by small things? Burgermeister Meisterburger declared war on toys after he slipped on one
>>153033465Idk man, getting your tail run over seems like an appropriate thing to be pissed off by.
>>153029189It's from Here Comes Peter Cottontail. It's one of their best.
>>153031502Lol I read it in Vincent Price's voice.
>>153033465It's easier for kids to digest and understand that they're the unreasonable villain but also to be careful not to do stuff like that because it might have bad consequences IRL but as for Irontail I can kind of understand him because not only did his appendage get amputed but they made him change his name to broadcast that he has a prosthetic afterwards.

>>153033417I read somewhere that was not intended to be a Christmas movie until late in production.
>>153029137It does pretty much everything but celebrate Easter.
>>153029137Wouldn't be a Rankin/Bass production if it didn't feel at least a LITTLE feverdream-ish. Peter Cottontail is def on the weirder end, though.
>>153036552Feeling like they came out of a very vivid but somewhat disjointed dream is the appeal of the Rankin/Bass moviesIt's also why works based off them never hit the same because they also aren't based off any weird books the Rankin/Bass guys read and made a movie out of
>>153037201mhmm
