HOP (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Hop—fresh, new, and wonderful—provides a terrifically imaginative take on the Easter Bunny ‘empire’. The characters are deeply drawn with exceptional personalities that are relatable as well as unforgettable. The musical scores rely on familiar, highly remembered music that appeals to all audiences and are well placed throughout the movie. The animation? Beyond reproach. This top-of-the-line entertainment needs to be in every family’s home video library.
