When I was a boy of about five years old, ( fifty years ago ) there was a Disney cartoon called "Funny Little Bunnies." I don't remember if I saw it at the movies or on the Mickey Mouse Club but it confirmed my belief in the Easter Bunny.

The cartoon was about a magical place called Bunny Land where Easter bunnies made Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies all year long. They would collect the paint for their colored eggs from the rainbow or chizzle bunnies from blocks of solid chocolate. There was a song throughout the cartoon that told the story of the bunnies.

It was great.

Rick,

Our ages on not that far apart (49 in July). I remember this cartoon.

When I was around 7 or 8, I remember hunting for eggs in my grandmother's backyard- my grandfather painted a big stone with silver paint and put a face on it- it looked like an easter egg- and got a plush pink bunny rabbit from my grandmother. How I loved her and that rabbit.

Thanks for reminding me of those memories. Unaduterated joy.

Daniel,

Leave it to Walt Disney to create a delightful cartoon that stays in our memories for fifty years. It's great to see these animated images again after so long.

Your Easter memories sound a lot like the Easters of my childhood. My parents did a great job of creating a magical world where a huge rabbit brings candy eggs in the middle of the night.

My tongue-in-cheek post was poking fun at the stuff we guys have to sometimes do to maintain a masculine image. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with masculinity, as long it doesn't keep a man from enjoying the beauty in life. And few things are more beautiful than the sweet memories of childhood.

Rick,

Loved your post.

I hear you loud and clear- remembering the terror I felt when I was made fun of as a kid because my mannerisms were not considered masculine enough. Now that every other young man (at least here in NYC anyway) is more gay looking than I was as a young adult, it makes one laugh. Times do change.

God I'm so 'gay'....never could understand football! And I was even in marching band. :lol:

But music, art and beauty? That's another matter.
