The Great Easter Egg Hunt

The Great Easter Egg Hunter is a 2000, American, straight-to-video, animated Easter special. It is a part of the Golden Films' Enchanted Tales series and was produced by Golden Entertainment.

Plot
A stuffed rabbit named Whiskers sets out to find the Easter Bunny when his owner, a boy, comes down with a fever in hopes of curing him. As Whiskers does so, he receives help from a diverse group of mostly other toys who tag along with him and along the way, they find out about the meaning of an Easter miracle that's in store.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The artwork is acceptable and pleasing enough, and the animation is just about on the same level of most any Disney animated film.
 * 2) Although parts of it will remind viewers who are familiar with any version of The Velveteen Rabbit, as well as another Easter special, Rankin-Bass's The First Easter Rabbit, it still has other things about to make it different enough in its own right. The part about the toys coming-to-life when people aren't around is also reminiscent of likeminded films/specials, such as Disney/Pixar's Toy Story franchise and Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy. But again, it still manages to differentiate itself enough from the others.
 * 3) The writing is flawless enough for both kids and adults to enjoy. There's nothing too simple, too complicated, nor too confusing. It's strong and everything is brought to the conclusion well.
 * 4) The character designs are decent enough to be on the same level as those by Disney.
 * 5) Most of the characters have potential in their likability, distinction, and memorability. Especially the main protagonist, Whiskers, due to his display of valor.
 * 6) The musical numbers, such as "The Bunny Hop", are terrifically composed and performed to the point of being unforgettable.
 * 7) The voice acting is delivered without a hitch.
 * 8) Slick and funny lines of dialogue.
 * 9) This may not revolve around the origins of Easter, but the message about the miracles that come out of it and the possibility it can happen remains just the same.
 * 10) The lead-up to the conclusion is a satisfying one.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Depending on one's view, the singing, female rabbit in the opening, musical number may be considered too sexualized to some, due to her big bust (though that might be considered a Parental Bonus for others).

Trivia

 * It shares the title with a book that came out five years later by Michael Garland, but neither is an adaptation of the other, so there's no relation.
