Advent Calendar House - TV Holiday & Christmas Specials
TV & Film:TV Reviews
đ° Itâs 1983, and despite replacing our entire body with robot parts, we still canât plow faster than a rapidly growing magic forest baby. Join us as we get things rolling with the mascots of Paas Easter egg coloring kits in a secret hit piece on landlords disguised as a wacky Easter story. On the way, weâll meet the ever-looming shadow of the Easter Bunny and teach animals to talk by giving them clothes. Â
