    80's children's show, need to know
    I have a couple of questions regarding two kid's shows I have been trying to find forever!

    Does anyone know where I can find The Tale of the Bunny Picnic? I've been looking all over the internet on where I can find it to buy. It's about this little rabbit (Bean) who is always pretending to be something he is not and always gets scolded by his siblings for his imagination. It also has this funny dog that is after the rabbits for getting into the mean farmer's garden. What I remember most about this movie is the dog's solo song (Run Bunny Run, you're going to be a bunny stew-haha) when he was chasing after Bean. If anyone knows where I can find this movie, pleeease help!

    The other one is a television show that used to come out every year at a specific time, I think during one of the holidays, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, during the 80's. It all revolved around this gem that was celebrated by these weird looking green people. Every year, the King would make a wish on this gem to keep the land safe and happy. The most I remember from those green things were the song they sang (Let's celebrate, don't hesitate... Our King will make a wish tonight upon a gem that glows so bright and fill our land with happiness and cheer). You can tell I used to watch that thing all the time. But back then, I didn't know how to use a VCR and wasn't allowed to touch it even if I could anyway. But There were also these villains that were trying to get the gem so the main villain could use that annual wish for his own purpose. He was this creepy purple vampire looking thing. They steal the gem and the King's son goes to get it back and the last thing I remember was the villains chasing the king's son and obviously the king's son gets away and returns the gem.

    I know I'm getting a little long-winded, but you got to realize these shows have been stuck in my head for yeeears. Hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about because I've been getting nothing but crazy looks from friends when I ask if anyone knows them. The only person that knows about it seems to just be my brother because he used to watch it with me and my sister. Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    I know this movie! I used to rent it from a store in Carver, MA. And I've been searching for years. Does the name "The Gundelins" ring a bell at all? Or a conversation between the villain and his goons about previous yearly attempts, like a big balloon ploy, and mailing a goon in a postage box? I was incredibly young watching this, and that's all that stands out in my head, but I'v been looking for it for about 3 years now. PLEASE let me know anything you find out.

    I think I've figured out that it's called The Moonstone Gem. I just bought two of them on Amazon on VHS. It's from 1983. Seems to fit all the criteria. It doesn't appear to be on imdb but an Amazon search will show you the cover.
