''Hop'' is a 2011 {{Creator/Universal}} live-action/CG film focusing on the exploits of E.B. (Creator/RussellBrand), a young rabbit who is next in line to become the world famous Easter Bunny of legend. His father can't wait to provide him with the title, but E.B. tends to sway more to the young, hip side of the Bunny family tree, and doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, instead wanting to make it big in the world of rock.

He leaves for Hollywood in order to realize his dream, and happens upon Fred (Creator/JamesMarsden), a kindred slacker who is house-sitting a mansion. After being nearly run over by Fred's car, he reluctantly takes in E.B., who wastes no time in causing him as much grief as possible. Soon however, Fred and E.B. learn that they have to contend with Carlos, one of the Easter Bunny chick assistants who decides that it's time for them to take over the holiday due to their doing all the work.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: NOBODY besides Fred finds an anthropomorphic talking rabbit strange, and the movie makes sure to [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] the Hell out of it. Granted, adding scenes of being chased down by the MenInBlack would be total overkill and disrupt the light fluffy tone of the movie. So it's just easier to handwave it off.

* OneDoseFitsAll: When the Pink Berets are discovered near the iconic Hollywood sign by a patrolman, they shoot one blowgun dart to his neck, which drops him unconscious almost instantly. Later, when the Pink Berets encounter Fred O'Hare in the mansion's kitchen, the bunnies think that Fred has killed their charge, E.B. Fred gets a volley of six darts to the face, which ought to be fatal, or nearly so. Nope, it only keeps him in la-la land for a few hours. Somewhere, a pharmacist is crying...

The Pink Berets presume that this is the horrible fate of E.B., the renegade son and heir of the Easter Bunny. How an elite commando unit could confuse a frozen turkey for a rabbit carcass is never explained.
