''The Tale of the Bunny Picnic'' is a 1986 television special created by Creator/JimHenson. It introduces the character of Bean Bunny, who would later go on to make appearances in several other Henson-related productions. Henson got the idea for the movie when he and his daughter were in a park and saw a dog chasing rabbits. Afterward, Henson decided to make up a story about bunnies being afraid of dogs.
The story concerns the annual Bunny Picnic, which the rabbits of the forest hold to celebrate the coming of spring. Young Bean is deemed too little to help his older siblings Lugsy and Twitch with decorations, and so he wanders off, and encounters a (seemingly) ferocious dog in the lettuce patch. When he runs back home, no one believes his story, least of all Lugsy. Everyone insists there haven't been any dogs in the woods for years. Bean, though, is determined to prove he's right. And in so doing, he just might save the Bunny Picnic... because the dog is actually the pet of an evil farmer who wants the bunnies to put in his stew!
