10 surprising things about Easter you never knew

Hop into this feel-good movie!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Roger is one of the coolest rabbits of all.

An oldie but a goodie, this 1988 movie features a toon-hating detective (Bob Hoskins) who is a cartoon rabbit’s only hope in proving his innocence when he is accused of murder. And all these years later, we not only still love the animation/live action combo in this film, we also still want to look like Jessica Rabbit!

Bambi

Thumper, Thumper, Thumper: oh how we adore thee

Can you believe that this timeless, adorable Disney classic is 77 years old? Yes kids, that’s even older than us. And while obviously the main character is a cute deer, our hearts are stolen every time we watch the movie by Bambi’s BFF, Thumper.

Rise of the Guardians

This portrayal of the Easter Bunny is one of our faves: this rabbit’s got attitude!

If you have kids who are starting to wobble in their Easter Bunny beliefs, Rise of the Guardians will sort that right out for another year or two. Heck, it even had us believing (not only in the Easter Bunny, but in Santa, Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost and The Sandman too).

Zootopia

A fox and a rabbit make an unlikely crime-fighting but fun duo in Zootopia

In a city of anthropomorphic animals, rookie bunny cop, Judy Hopps, meets and becomes friends (kinda) with a cynical con artist fox, Nick Wilde, who she ends up working with in order to uncover a dastardly conspiracy. So much love for this fun film! Also: Shakira as a sexy gazelle is genius.

Watership Down

Watership Down is not for the faint-hearted!

Not one for younger kids (you’ll have them refusing to ever go near a bunny again), but this gritty movie adaptation of Richard Adam’s 1972 novel of the same name, is as powerful today as it was when it was made back in 1978. It follows the (less than fluffy) tale of a group of rabbits who need to find a new home because of the upcoming redevelopment by humans of their home. Not as easy as it sounds when they have to contend with a warren full of the meanest rabbits in the history of rabbits. We’re not even kidding when we say General Woundwort is one of the scariest cartoon (or otherwise!) characters EVER. Netflix has just released a remake in the form of a series, which, in our humble opinion, is not a patch on the movie, but still worth a watch.

Secret Life of Pets

Cute is just a cover…

While Secret Life of Pets is mostly about a terrier named Max having his life upended by a new pooch addition to his home, Snowball the rabbit is definitely our fave character in this kooky movie. He might look cute and cuddly, but he’s harbouring pure disdain when it comes to pets and their owners. #abandonmentissues. The sequel is out this year, and we can’t wait.

Space Jam

What’s up Doc?

We can’t have a roundup of rabbits without one of the best-loved rabbits of all time: Bugs Bunny! Catch him and basketball legend, Michael Jordan, in the mad capers of the Looney Tunes gang attempting to win their freedom via a basketball match.
