Easter Is

About This Movie

Easter Is is a curious little gem from 1974 featuring the animated duo Benji and Waldo. The film has this strange, almost whimsical tone that captures the essence of Easter in a way that feels both nostalgic and oddly refreshing. The soundtrack, while not groundbreaking, adds to the overall atmosphere, enhancing the playful vibe throughout. The pacing is leisurely, allowing viewers to soak in each scene, and there’s something about the practical effects, perhaps the limited animation, that gives it a unique charm. The performances, though simplistic, resonate with a certain warmth that feels genuine, making it a distinct piece in the pantheon of holiday-themed animation.

Easter Is has seen a variety of formats since its release, but finding it on original VHS or any rare DVD editions can be quite the hunt. Its scarcity adds to the collector interest, as many fans of vintage animation appreciate its quirky aesthetic. The film doesn’t pop up often at conventions or in online marketplaces, which makes it a nice surprise when you do come across it, especially for those who enjoy obscure holiday-themed media.
