About This Movie

The Tale of the Bunny Picnic has that classic Jim Henson charm, blending comedy and whimsy effortlessly. The pacing feels just right for a TV movie—lighthearted but with enough tension as Bean faces the grumpy dog. The practical effects and puppetry bring the bunnies to life in a way that’s really endearing. You can feel the warmth of the community as they prepare for the picnic, even if they initially sideline the little guy. The themes of believing in oneself, even when others don’t, resonate throughout. It’s funny how, despite being a family film, there's a subtle edge to the story that keeps it engaging. It's a nice little piece of Henson's legacy that many might overlook.

Charming blend of humor and heart.Features classic Henson puppetry and practical effects.A nice exploration of themes like belief and community.
