The Very First Easter

When a young lad is out playing with his dog 'Sniffy', it discovers a rabbit hiding in an old log. The creature is terrified, but the lad soon calms things down and points out that this is the Easter bunny - just not made from chocolate. He now proceeds to tell his attentive friends a potted history of Jesus and of how he offered hope to the people of freedom from the king who lived far away; carried out his miracles; of how he fell out with the priests and money lenders and eventually fell foul of the Romans. Yet, the enthusiatic young lad continues, there was still the Ressurection to come and that hope endures to this day. Accompanied by some music on an harp, this is quite an easy watch for young children and is presented in a simple, crayon drawn, style of layered and photographed animation - like the version they might have learned in Sunday school.
