For a slice of US Gen X we can remember our parents having us all gather to watch this when it aired on TV. I was at a dinner party with like 20 kids total all under 13 years old. When the scene we all remember from this movie happened it was pure chaos for like 30 minutes. I remember my best friend’s dad, who was my priest, saying “Gee whiz! Why in the name of all that is holy would they put a bunny cartoon on prime time and kill the bunny without warning everyone!” Never heard a man say “Gee Whiz” with that much vitriol.
