[1] The special is narrated by Danny Kaye, and stars Casey Kasem, Vincent Price, Joan Gardner and Paul Frees.

The special also features Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins's Easter song, "Here Comes Peter Cottontail".

Irontail demands that Colonel Bunny hold a contest to see who delivers the most eggs, according to April Valley's Constitution.

Since the contest's rules do not specifically say the eggs must be delivered on Easter, Peter tries to give them away at other holidays, to no avail.

On the 4th of July, Peter paints the eggs red, white and blue, and lies to two boys by passing them off as firecrackers, which ultimately fails.

Peter hears sobbing from a hat shop, and meets Bonnie, an Easter bonnet who left April Valley years ago.

After failing to give away the green eggs on Presidents' Day, Peter vows to be more honest and responsible.

Antoine returns as a butterfly, and Irontail works as the janitor of April Valley, while Peter leads a parade.

A Blu-ray was released by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment February 22, 2019, as a Walmart exclusive, containing a heavily edited version that runs nearly ten minutes shorter.
