Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie script

Seymour S. Sassafras introduces the tale of Peter Cottontail and his son, Junior, an inventive young bunny whose negligence causes a fire in the Candy Factory, leading to a confrontation with his traditional father. Meanwhile, the bitter former Easter Bunny Irontail, with his mechanical tail, forms an alliance with the vain, ice-powered sorceress Jackie Frost to stop Spring and freeze the world. Junior learns of this threat from Seymour S. Sassafras in Color Land and, with his friends Antoine the caterpillar, Flutter the robin, and Munch the mouse, embarks on a quest in a bubble contraption to save the seasons. The heroes travel through various lands, encountering challenges like the Wind, before confronting Jackie Frost and Irontail at the Clock of Winter, where the villains are preparing to execute their plan.
