↓ TranscriptCAPTION: The Easter Bunny is tired of sounding like an uncouth cottontail...and a boorish backwoods dumb bunny!
(Cruel people have even called him “hare-brained!”)
So he’s taking elocution lessons from that paragon of precise pronunciation: Eliza Do Little!
SCENE: The Easter Bunny is talking to a woman sitting at a desk.
EASTER BUNNY (singing): Randy rabbits rapidly race to rescue...rascal raccoons in Rio...from ransacking roadrunner robbers!
WOMAN: Good! Now sing it three times...backwards...while hopping...with your basket full of eggs!
1955 Art (of woman): Ken Rice Re-ink & Color: Diego Jourdan Pereira
Eggcelent Writers: Mike Pascale & John Lustig
