Here at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog, today's holiday means Easter movies, rabbit-laden cartoons and TV show clips.
Kicking off the compendium of rabbit-packed Easter cartoons, here's the Easter egg-filled and downright rabbit-infested Silly Symphony Funny Little Bunnies.
The unequalled gold standard of Easter cartoons, not surprisingly, stars the Oscar-winning rabbit, Bugs Bunny.
That would be Easter Yeggs (1947), one of the very best cartoons ever helmed by director Robert McKimson.
We're delighted that METV has shown the Walter Lantz Studio's contribution to the Easter cartoon genre, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit in The Egg Cracker Suite (1943).
The Egg Cracker Suite is the last of the theatrical Oswald The Lucky Rabbit series.
Walt Disney, with Hugh Harman, Rudy Ising and Friz Freleng on staff, originated the Oswald The Lucky Rabbit series in 1927.
Ozzy was subsequently purloined, along with all but a couple of the Disney animation staff, by Charles Mintz.
Walter Lantz took over the character and made a gazillion Ozzy toons for Carl Laemmle and Universal.
We at Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog wish all a Happy Easter. And now. . . let's go for some chocolate Easter eggs!
