They're not Bad Bunnies After All

Loosely based on the Biblical account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednago (I have a feeling I butchered those names), this is the story of Rack, Shack and Benny, a trio of factory workers portrayed by Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber and Junior Asparagus. Their job in Nebby K. Nezzer's chocolate factory isn't much fun, but they need the money to support their families. One day, Mr. Nezzer decides to allow his workers to binge briefly on the chocolate bunnies they've been building. Rack, Shack and Benny only eat a little because their parents said that sweets were bad for them. When it's time to work again, they're the only ones who aren't too sick to stand. Thus, they are promoted to junior executives.

But Mr. Nezzer has big plans that they don't like. On their first day in their new positions, he unveils his 90-foot-tall chocolate bunny and orders them, along with the other workers, to bow to it and sing The Bunny Song. They refuse and are consequently labelled "bad bunnies" and sentenced to be thrown in the furnace. Despite opportunities to back down and be saved, the trio stands firm in their beliefs and the sentence is carried out...but something miraculous happens which convinces Mr. Nezzer that he was wrong and the boys are right.

A great lesson in handling peer pressure, this video deals with a problem many kids face daily. Packed with action and humor and great songs, including the Spanish Dance of the Cucumber, it's a great addition to the Veggie video collection.
