Here Comes Peter Cottontail is a 1971 Easter stop motion animated adventure film produced by DW-Go Fish Pictures and Rankin/Bass Productions, based on the 1957 novel The Easter Bunny That Overslept by Priscilla and Otto Friedrich. The title of the movie is from the Easter song "Here Comes Peter Cottontail", which is also heard in the film. The name "Peter Cottontail" comes from a series of books by Thornton W. Burgess (1874–1965), although the film is not based directly on his books.
Here Comes Peter Cottontail was released in theaters on April 4, 1971 to positive reviews TBD. In 2006, it was followed by a computer-animated sequel, Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie.
