Awesome!!! :) Love me some badass bunnies.

Nice.

My buddy has had a pvc figure figure of this character for years and we never knew where it came from.

Better then the movie!

Yeah, I thought t was rather lame that after going through the mission of returning the son, all 3 got taken out by the chocolate stream. Maybe one at a time and/or being overwhelmed by numbers but not by one lucky hit.

There was a LOT more wrong with the movie then that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwhsggI5eRo

Do you agree?

Oh hell yeah. So true.

Another thing, when making the movie, Universal teamed up with 92 major companies to promote Hop (including Holiday Inn, Krispy Kreme, Lindt, Kraft Foods, The Hershey Company, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Comcast, Kodak, Hallmark, HMV and Burger King).

Can you believe it?!

Hedging their bets that the movie was going to do well also consider it was one of a few if the only movie about the Easter bunny

Also, the movie got:
1.) a video game adaptation based on the film (released exclusively for the Nintendo DS and published by 505 Games).

2.) A Hop-themed game app for the iPhone (made by Doodle Jump in 2011 with the TV advertisement for the game being posted onto YouTube by the film's official YouTube channel).

3.) FIVE books based on the film [Chicks Versus Bunnies: a children's paperback picture book = Hop: The Chapter Book: a story book based on the film's plot = Hoppy Bunnies: a children's board book with finger puppets = Hop: Meet the Easter Bunny: a paperback picture book about the Easter Bunny's workshop = Counting Chicks: a hardcover picture book].

4.) The film's official thirty five track original score soundtrack (from Back Lot Music) released in stores on April 5, 2011 after it was released a month earlier in March on iTunes.

5.) A large range of licensed merchandise was released in connection with the film upon its release including toys, stuffed animals, many sorts of candy, T-shirts, cookie decorating kits, baked goods and other products from Kraft Foods. Some items were available exclusively at Walmart stores while Burger King launched a line of Hop-themed toys included in their kids meals throughout April 2011.


Can you believe how much they tried to whore this movie out even before its official release to sometime after it?

They obviously had high expectations of the success of the movie.


It staggers the imagination if they had half the confidence in STAR WARS to do all that.

Tell me, did you enjoy the review I linked you to of the movie?

The movie was cringe worthy with that "bad accident "feel. You want to look away but you can't stop staring at it.

What's more, it doesn't even FEEL like it was supposed to be an Easter film.

Tell me...when you think Easter do you think of Easter Island with the Moai statues, a Willy Wonka chocolate factory, a chick revolution, "Pink Berets", band practice, job searching, and Russel Brand or Hank Azaria? This gives the impression that it wasn't supposed to even be an Easter-related film in the beginning, that both Easter and the Easter Bunny were just thrown in at the very last minute.

Wouldn't you agree?

...I...have to go with you on that. Maybe this could've happened between last and next Easter. Easter Island...what the heck is that? What does that have to do with a holiday that was started somewhere in the middle east?

Easter Island is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Island

Recognize it from the movie?

D'OH! I was trying to be sarcastic about Easter Island and what its relavence was to the holiday. :-P. It was named easter island not for it being the place of origin. Folks, if we're going to do a movie revolving around the holiday, please keep the facts straight as we know them. If the thing with lambs, chick's and bunnies was a European idea then revolve the story around that.

Indeed.

As the Nostalgia Critic stated, the idea of a human getting involved with the Easter Bunny is actually a concept that would make a fantastic story, but it just wasn't handled well at all! One thing that I think would have helped it more is if the ENTIRE movie were fully animated, as I feel the live-action parts just weighed the whole thing down, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah. It had potential but just wasn't pulled off in the right way to make it work.

Do you agree that fully animated would have helped it too? Especially since it was done by Illumination Studios? The same people who brought us Sing, The Secret Life of Pets, and Despicable Me...

yeah...much better

A FAR superior film involving Easter and the Easter Bunny is Rise of the Guardians. When having the Easter Bunny come from Australia makes more sense then you KNOW Hop is bad, right?

Oh heck yeah. We know he represents easter but the movie deals with him during the off season.

She's like Judy Hopps

Which one?

I mean they are all like Judy

In what way?

Very awesome, although patch has green eyes and bit has blue eyes. They're flipped here. Other than that, incredibly badass
