01:30The Story of Santa Claus
01:59The Story of Santa Claus
02:29Thank you, I love him
02:31I'm glad dear, you'll have to think of a name for him
02:35I will, but for now I'll call him Stuffy
02:39Oh look, it snowed last night
02:42Can I go outside now, please?
02:45Yes dear, but be sure to bundle up
02:47Meanwhile in the nearby woods, a trio of real live rabbits were hatching a ridiculous caper
02:56Now let me get this straight
02:58We're gonna dig a long tunnel under all the carrot patches in the neighborhood while nobody's around
03:05And when spring comes, we're gonna come back and steal the carrots from underneath
03:11Totally undetected
03:14We come not friends to steal your hearts, but your carrots
03:19You've now made spats, whiskers and flops
03:22Three of the slickest con bunnies around
03:25Alas, my men, behold that silly looking rabbit sitting over there
03:29Hey look, he's strange
03:32He hasn't got any hind legs
03:34His odor is unsniffable
03:39Undetectable
03:41He ain't a rabbit at all
03:43He isn't real
03:45But I am real
03:46I am
03:48I am
03:49Poor Stuffy
03:51He knew he wasn't real like the other rabbits
03:54And that made him very unhappy
03:56But he was Glinda's favorite toy
03:59And as the months passed
04:01So did his sadness
04:03Because he was loved
04:05But one day something happened
04:08That was to affect everybody's life
04:11Little Glinda took ill
04:13I'm afraid it's scarlet fever
04:15Oh dear
04:17My poor little girl, what can I do?
04:20Well, the first thing is to burn all of the bedclothes
04:22And oh yes, that old stuffed rabbit
04:25Burn it all at once
04:26Now taking away a child's favorite toy is no easy matter
04:31And how would she ever explain to little Glinda
04:34That Stuffy had to be...
04:37Well, you know
04:38Even I hate to say it
04:40Oh dear, it's getting late
04:43I think I'll leave all this for burning tomorrow
04:47Our rabbit friend thought to himself
04:50What's the use of being loved if it all ends like this?
04:56Who... who are you?
04:59My name is Calliope
05:00I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved
05:04And when they're old or worn out
05:06Then I come and take them away with me
05:09And turn them into real
05:11Why?
05:12Wasn't I real before?
05:13You were real to the little girl who loved you
05:16And now you should be real to everyone
05:20Stuffy was mystified
05:22But he hadn't heard the most important part
05:25Now that you are real
05:27I have a special mission for you
05:30You have been chosen to be the first Easter rabbit
05:34But why me?
05:36I'm nobody
05:36And why do we need an Easter rabbit?
05:40A good question, wouldn't you say?
05:42But Calliope had a good answer
05:44She explained to Stuffy why all the holidays of the year
05:48Needed symbols to help people remember them
05:52Springtime needs someone to remind all the children
05:57Of her special holiday
06:01They could form the lovely habit
06:06Of saying Easter's here
06:09Cause there's that rabbit
06:11There's that rabbit
06:17Taking some blue from the sky
06:21There's that rabbit
06:24Mixing up buttercup dye
06:28There's that rabbit
06:32Painting his green everywhere
06:36A magical hair
06:38There's that rabbit
06:40There's that rabbit
06:44There's that rabbit
06:46Helping the spring do her tricks
06:50There's that rabbit
06:53Chiseling chocolate cheeks
06:57There's that rabbit
07:01Far from your typical jack
07:04Each year he'll be back
07:07That rabbit
07:09Easter needs that funny bunny
07:15Like Christmas needs the tree
07:18It's a fact I'm sure you'll agree
07:22Easter needs little old me
07:26There's that rabbit
07:29There's that rabbit
07:30Playing his egg rolling game
07:33There's that rabbit
07:37There's that rabbit
07:37That rabbit
07:38Everyone's calling his name
07:40There's that rabbit
07:44That rabbit
07:45Easter's his garden to tell
07:48Our cottontail friend
07:50That rabbit
07:52That rabbit
07:54That rabbit
07:56And to begin
08:01You must go to Easter Valley
08:03Where the golden Easter lily blooms
08:06And it's always springtime
08:08It's over the hills
08:09To the west of the sun
08:11And beyond the third mountain
08:13But now someone will show you the way
08:16Easter is only two weeks away
08:18So hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry
08:20But beware
08:21Beware of zero
08:23But who
08:28How
08:28Wait don't go
08:31I have so many questions
08:32Think I'll begin with a hop
08:36He's coming around
08:46Just a nasty bump on the noggin
08:48What's your handle kid
08:50My name
08:51It's uh
08:52It's
08:53Gee I almost forgot
08:55I'm the new Easter rabbit
08:57Boy he's a dilly isn't he
09:00And uh
09:01Where were you hopping to so madly
09:03I'm off to find Easter Valley
09:06Where the golden Easter lily is
09:08And
09:09Hmm
09:09Golden Easter lily eh
09:12Excuse us for a moment
09:14Since you're obviously not in the best of health
09:21My companions and I feel it our duty
09:24To accompany you on your journey
09:26Gee that's great
09:28Let's get started
09:30Zero
09:31But beware of zero
09:33What was that
09:35Oh nothing
09:35Nothing at all
09:36But it was something indeed
09:38For the Easter rabbit had remembered
09:41Calliope's warning
09:42About zero
09:43Bruce
09:45Bruce
09:46Bruce
09:47I'm coming
09:49Oh
09:49Oh
09:50Zero
09:51Bruce
09:54What have you found out about the road into Easter Valley
09:58Did the elves know anything
10:00Not a thing
10:01Not a thing
10:02I give up
10:03I give up
10:03You see Zero and Bruce were in charge of keeping the North Pole nice and white
10:09Everything was all lovely and covered with snow except Easter Valley
10:15Zero had never been able to find the secret road into Easter Valley
10:21And so
10:21It stayed green all the year long
10:24We can't give up Bruce
10:27We just can't
10:29There has to be a way
10:31Well by the time our friends had reached the third mountain they were totally exhausted and ready to turn back
10:50A sail
10:55It seems that bird is indicating a direction to follow
10:59What have we got to lose
11:01Someone will show you the way
11:04She's leading us away from the wall
11:10If you ask me we're barking up the wrong tree
11:14What do you think Flops
11:15I'd say we were barking up the wrong tree
11:17The tree
11:28It must be hollow
11:30Why doesn't one of us give it a try
11:32I shall be as expeditious as possible
11:35And be quick about it too
11:37If my calculations are correct
11:48He should reach the other side
11:50Just about now
11:53Hang in there Flops
12:01We're coming over
12:02Everything you could imagine was there
12:05And one person who seemed downright out of place
12:08Santa Claus
12:09Just trying to be neighborly
12:12You see I'm all finished with my job
12:15And I had a little spare time
12:17So I thought I might be able to help you get started
12:20But we'll never be able to do the job in time
12:23There are so many boys and girls all over the world
12:26And we only have a few weeks
12:29Well why not pick just one small town for a test
12:33Then next year you can tackle them all
12:35That's what I did first time out
12:37Great idea Santa
12:39And I know just the town
12:41Excuse me for button into the festivities Santa
12:44But what's in it for us?
12:46Giving presents is a talent
12:49One that the three of you have obviously never had a chance to explore
12:53Why not try it just once?
12:56Hmm?
12:57You can start by giving just a little gift of love to a child
13:02You'll be surprised at how much you'll get back in return
13:06You won't regret helping me fellas
13:08Just one thing Santa sir
13:11Is he really the first Easter rabbit?
13:15Well indeed he is Spats
13:18Now I must be off
13:20Blitzen
13:21Good luck
13:23Good luck
13:25Well they've gone and done it Bruce
13:29Somehow they've managed to get into Easter Valley
13:33And they're bound to find the golden lily
13:36We've got to find a way in
13:39Crafty old Zero knew one thing
13:41That no one had bothered to tell the new Easter rabbit
13:44That the golden Easter lily kept the valley warm and green all year long
13:49If it were to disappear
13:51Springtime would disappear with it
13:54Why so long chum?
14:06Oh it's nothing
14:07It's just that I've been thinking about little Glenda again
14:10How is she doctor?
14:13She's sleeping now
14:14She's going to be just fine
14:16Oh thank you doctor
14:18That's the best thing I could hear
14:20Oh I forgot
14:21She seems to be mumbling something about somebody called Stuff
14:26Or Stuffy or something
14:28Oh he was her favorite toy
14:30A silly old stuffed rabbit
14:32Oh well I'm sure she'll forget about it in a few days
14:36Now you spend a little time looking after yourself for a change
14:40Goodbye doctor and thank you
14:43Stuffy oh Stuffy you've come back
14:49You've come back
14:50Linda what are you doing out of bed
14:55And what was that noise I heard in here
14:57Oh mother it was Stuffy
15:00He came back he came back
15:02And he was really real
15:03And there's going to be a parade and everything on Easter Sunday
15:07Come now dear let's get back into bed
15:11And I'm going to wear my new pink dress and my new straw bonnet that you got me
15:15Mother all of my clothes
15:20Where are they?
15:22Glenda's mother had no choice but to tell her the truth
15:26Don't cry mother
15:28Who needs silly old parades anyway?
15:31Oh darling
15:32It's that tree down there
15:50It must be hollow
15:52That's the way in the Easter Valley
15:55I'm sure of it
15:56Excellent Bruce
15:58Excellent
15:58Tomorrow Bruce
16:02Tomorrow will be the end
16:05The end of Easter Valley
16:07Well the next day was Saturday
16:19The day before Easter Sunday
16:21I think we shall have a white Easter if my eyes do not deceive me
16:26A white what?
16:28Hey look
16:29It's beginning to snow
16:31Yeah it's really coming down
16:34Now
16:46Now I've got it all
16:48The valley and the golden lily are mine
16:54Gee Zero
16:55Are you just going to leave them snowed in like that?
16:58Oh
16:58They may never get out
17:00Bruce?
17:02Who cares?
17:03Let them all freeze for all I care
17:07Bruce was beginning to have second thoughts about what they had done
17:14Bruce decided there was only one thing left for him to do
17:20So he rolled
17:22Getting fatter by the minute
17:25It's as if someone out there doesn't like her
17:30It's stuck
17:35It's stuck
17:36The snow must be up to the roof
17:38I can't budge it an inch
17:40Sarah
17:43Sarah
17:44I gotta speak to you
17:47Bruce told Santa the situation
17:49And Santa knew what he had to do
17:52Ahoy down there
17:57Come on up
17:58It's me
17:59Santa Claus
18:01Santa Claus
18:02I know what's happening
18:04Bring everything up the chimney
18:06And begin loading the sleigh
18:08They loaded all the eggs and baskets and bodice onto the sleigh
18:12And just as it was getting dark
18:15They had finished and were on their way
18:17He came
18:20Stuffy was here
18:22Mother, mother, look
18:24And there's a note with mine
18:27It says
18:28Don't forget our date
18:30Main Street and 5th Avenue at 12 noon sharp
18:34Well
18:35Morning
18:39Elizabeth
18:41Why, good morning doctor
18:43We didn't expect you to date
18:45Being it's Easter Sunday and all
18:47Jonathan, please
18:49And this is not a professional call
18:52I brought these for you and Glinda
18:54Jonathan
18:56You shouldn't have
18:57Oh
19:01It's beautiful
19:03Can I try it on, mother?
19:06Of course
19:06Now hurry
19:07The parade starts at noon
19:09The news is all over town
19:10But how did you know we needed
19:13A little bird told me
19:15Stuffy, oh Stuffy, you're here
19:25Never saw you look
19:30Quite so pretty before
19:34Never saw you dressed
19:40Quite so lovely
19:42What's more
19:44I could hardly wait
19:49To keep our date
19:51This lovely Easter morning
19:55And my heart beat fast
19:59As you came through the door
20:04For
20:06In my Easter bonnet
20:12With all the frills upon it
20:17I'll be the grandest lady
20:21In the Easter parade
20:26I'll be all in clover
20:31And when they look you over
20:36I'll be the proudest fellow
20:41In the Easter parade
20:46In your Easter bonnet
20:52With all the frills upon it
20:56You'll be the grandest lady
21:00In the Easter parade
21:04I'll be all in clover
21:08And when they look you over
21:10And when they look you over
21:12I'll be the proudest fellow
21:16In the Easter parade
21:20On the avenue
21:23On the avenue
21:25Fifth avenue
21:26Fifth avenue
21:28The photographers will snap us
21:32And you'll find that you're
21:35In the rota gravure
21:37Oh, I could write a sonnet
21:40About your Easter bond
21:44And of the girl I'm taking
21:48To the Easter parade
21:53Bruce, you miserable
22:01Roly-poly snitcher
22:02When I get my hands on you
22:05I will melt you down
22:07To a tennis ball
22:09You will do nothing
22:12I'm warning you, Zero
22:14Either you put the golden Easter lily
22:17Back in the valley
22:18So that springtime can come back
22:20Or I'm moving out of the pole
22:23I've got a good offer
22:25From the South Pole, you know
22:26And I've been considering it
22:29You'd leave me all alone here
22:33No elves
22:35No Sunday night dinner
22:37With Mrs. Claus's home cooking
22:40And those little noodles
22:41No midnight rides
22:44With the reindeer
22:45Just me
22:47All alone here
22:49By myself
22:50By myself
22:52What good is all of this
22:57What good is anything
22:59Without friends to share it
23:03I'd even miss Bruce
23:06Oh
23:07Hey, who's that?
23:13Me?
23:14I'm Zero
23:15Sorry to drip and run
23:17But this weather is bad for my health
23:19Bye
23:20And oh yes
23:22Happy Easter
23:23Gee, doesn't seem like such a bad guy
23:26I wonder what all the fuss was about
23:28Well, at least this time
23:30We've got a year's start
23:31Are whiskers
23:32Right you are, GP
23:34So you found me out at the very end
23:40That's right
23:41I was stuffy
23:42Many, many years ago, that is
23:44And so the Easter lily
23:47Brought eternal spring with it
23:49The chickens could lay their eggs
23:51And the world would know
23:53That next year and every year
23:55I'd be back again
23:57Happy Easter
23:59Happy Easter
