00:00I am Seymour S. Sassafras and Company, this is the Seymour S. Sassafras and this is the
00:29Company. I am a peddler by trade, by trade and by gully, by gully, by gully. I deal in magic and
00:39moonbeams and pretty, pretty colors. Oh yes, I can sell you the most perfect pink or the most
00:46blissful blue or a simply euphoric yellow. That of course is why I'm here in April Valley,
00:54delivering all these colors to Peter Cottontail so he can paint his Easter eggs, you know. What?
01:02You say you've never been to April Valley before? Well, that's okay. I'll show you around. This way,
01:11please. Now you see, April Valley is where all the Easter bunnies live and work. Oh yes. Ah,
01:20April Valley's finest candy carvers. Meet Milk Chocolate Angelo and Leonardo the Bittersweet.
01:30And over there is the famous Easter Bunny Bonnet Foundry. Now of course it's all very
01:41nice here, thanks to Peter Cottontail. Hmm? You never heard of Peter Cottontail? Great
01:50chattering chitchicks. They've never heard of Peter Cottontail. They've never heard of Peter
01:58Cottontail? Why, he's the number one chief Easter bunny around here. See? You, you mean you never
02:10heard how he almost lost the job? Oh, you actually mean you never heard how a terrible,
02:21wicked, nasty rabbit named Irontail almost became the Easter bunny?
02:28Here, if you peek into this magic egg, you'll see the whole story just as it happened.
