The masterminds behind last year’s “Despicable Me” have done it again. “Hop” is a film that will make adults feel like children, and has plenty of laughs and charisma to charm anyone between the ages of 3 and 93.
Producer Chris Meledandri (“Despicable Me,” “Ice Age”) teamed up with director Tim Hill (“Alvin and the Chipmunks”) to create an animated Santa Claus version of the Easter Bunny.
In “Hop,” main character E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand) lives in one of the famous prehistoric statues on Easter Island and is destined to take over the important role of Easter Bunny from his father (voiced by Hugh Laurie of “House”). In this role, he’ll be in charge of running the magical, Willy Wonka-esque candy factory, where fluffy yellow baby chicks spend 365 days a year making Easter candy baskets full of Hershey’s kisses, marshmallow chicks, jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, and painted candy eggs.
Each year, on Easter day, he’ll be responsible for delivering these baskets around the globe, in his chick-pulled Easter egg sleigh. Sounds like a sweet gig, right?
