Here I am, a 26 year old man. I love sports, monster trucks, cowboys, R-rated comedies, and other “manly” things. But even I can’t help but ugly cry at this. I also had a toy bunny when I was little.😭😢🥺 Edit: I actually had TWO toy bunnies. I felt wrong about not mentioning the other but the other one wasn’t made of velvet. But I loved both of them equally! I knew one of them as “Bunny” and the other one as “Rabbit.”
I remember getting a velveteen rabbit with this story attached for Christmas one year when I was little. It was always very sad to me that the boy didn't get to keep his rabbit.
I had this vhs when I was young, it was probably what made me pick the brown rabbit at Build a Bear when I was 12. Dear Bruce, I'll love you for all my days, you've been with me in my deepest darkest times, absorb countless tears and held so tightly in desperation, and seen me rise to the joyful successful woman I am today. At 33, I hold you with me as I watch this, and it's comforting to know you'll be with me always ❤️
I still have my beloved stuffed cat from my first Christmas. The cat was so beautiful when I was a kid, with blue eyes, soft grey fur, and bright red satin ribbon. Now, Fluffy is missing a few whiskers, her red ribbon has darkened, and some of her "fur" has been loved off. But Fluffy will always be just as beautiful as that first Christmas to me
Thank you so much for uploading this!! ❤This was one of my favorite videos when I was very young. My stuffed animals and toys were some of my best friends when I was a kid, and I adored the idea that my love could bring them to life to be my friends forever! And George Winston’s music here is just beautiful…he’s been one of my favorite musicians for years ❤️
I’m almost 40 but every time I see this movie and read the book I blubber like a newborn baby. It’s so sweet and tender and reminds me of my childhood.
This treasured story came to me from a treasured teacher, Patricia Kane, living in a Coach House in Seahurst, WA in the early 1970's as I was raising Siamese Satin Rabbits. Never fails to make me appreciate what others take for granted...
Between this being one of my favorite stories growing up, and George Winston's December album being a huge inspiration while growing up too, this is a perfect formula for ripping me to pieces. Now as a middle aged woman, I find myself obsessed with being loved into realness.
This is my favorite picture book as a child, and as old as I am now I still sometimes ask my mom if she can read it to me, even if only half heartedly, I may be an adult now but I always cry before I can finish it. Love this book!❤
I remember seeing this on a brand new 50 inch c.r.t. on the side room of a school library, there were a lot of Indians (navajos) and Laotian there, I have not seen any either of them in commiefornia. This was when I thought that Meryl Streep was a good person
I am 50 and still love and listen to The Velveteen Rabbit.

That’s true strength. Love is the most powerful force there is. Long live our stuffed rabbits! ❤️🩹 🐰
This is such an endearing comment ✨ 😊
So true @@acmcbride-olson9320
Ha, I would've made the same edit to be sure the other rabbit didn't feel forgotten.

I balled my eyes out once, it’s a very early memory as I looked at the pictures knowing the story but unable to read it.
Rabbits of plaid

This shit fucked up my childhood.
