Candy, Chicks, & Rock ‘N’ Roll!
– – Most Easter family movies are old school cartoons better left forgotten, but Hop may set the bar higher. Featuring E.B., the teenage son of the Easter Bunny who plays a mean set of skins and wants to become a drummer in a rock ‘n’ Roll band, the hare destined for greatness splits for Hollywood only to be hit by the car of Fred the slacker in L.A. Alas, one cannot escape their destiny…
Taking the Easter Bunny heir in as he recovers, Fred discovers that he has the world’s worst house guest, and that they both are running from adulthood; do ‘ya blame ’em? Hop blends state-of-the-art animation with live action, and features some cute touches, such as the all-female special forces of the Easter Bunny, the Pink Berets, who really kick tail!
Coming to theaters from Universal Pictures on April 1st…it will leave you wanting candy, and singing the song!

Not all Old School is bad. I love the Rankin-Bass classic, HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL, narrated by Danny Kaye and starring Casey Kasem as the leading lagomorph.*
*Look it up. 😉

I also love the increasingly (and, thus, regrettably) seldom-seen WB classic, EASTER YEGGS, starring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.*
* “Yegg” is an obsolete slang term for petty street criminal.
