Original Description:
Digitized with Roxio Easy VHS to DVD Plus

Two fabulous fantasies for kids of all ages!

Can a ragtag baseball team from Planet Earth stand up to the Alien All-Stars, intergalactic champs for 800 years—who don't even play the game by earthbound rules?

Will Jack Rabbit, the Easter Bunny, on hand for a whiz-bang Celebrity Roast to mark his retirement from show biz, really hang up his basket and head out for greener pastures?

The answers are in the multi-talented hands of Nelvana Productions, today's top animation house. And with Nelvana, you're in very good hands indeed.

Critics have called them the greatest thing in children's animation since the Disney era. Their award-winning programs have lit up holiday seasons with special magic. And now, Warner Home Video brings home a double feature of their latest and most spectacular hits.

Take Me Up To The Ballgame takes off with the inimitable voice of Phil Silvers as an interplanetary promoter who hustles a sandlot team into celestial competition, all to the tune of music by Rick Danko of The Band.

The Jack Rabbit Story (Easter Fever) stars such recognizable show-stoppers as Steed Martin, a wild and crazy gnu, and Don Rattles, a venom-tongued serpent—as well as the real-life voices of Saturday Night Live's Garrett Morris and Second City's Catherine O'Hara, plus a fine score by John Sebastian.

What does it take to turn out animated masterpieces of this quality? A staff of 100, 40 full-time animators, 35,000 sheets of acetate, six months of hard work, and 1600 cups of coffee per week.

The results are more than worth the effort. Nelvana is a nirvana for the kind of daringly conceived and fully realized fantasies once sadly thought to be a thing of the past. And should you find yourself glued to the screen alongside your children, don't be surprised.

Why should kids have all the fun?
