YMMV / Hop

• Anti-Climax Boss: E.B. easily defeats Carlos (in his chick/bunny hybrid form) by tricking his Bumbling Sidekick Phil into dancing to the beat of a conga and some barrels while he was marshalling, accidentaly causing the egg sleigh (where Carlos was on) to crash.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: The Pink Berets, to the point that most critics (and many furries) felt that the movie should've been about them.
• Demographically Inappropriate Humour: The presence of the Playboy Mansion for a gag involving E.B. thinking that the mansion has been home for literal "sexy" bunnies, and Hugh Hefner (in a voice-only appearance as himself, heard over the entry phone) denying him access.
• Designated Villain: Carlos is supposed to be seen as a power-hungry jerk for wanting to take over the position of Easter Bunny, but the film neglects to actually give any good reasons why the job shouldn't go to him. Carlos has been working for the Easter Bunny for years, knows the ins and outs of the job, he performs a Training Montage that proves he would be a worthy successor, and the only supposed negative consequence of a chick taking the role of Easter Bunny is that his body was mutated into being part-rabbit. Plus (perhaps most importantly) unlike E.B. Carlos actually wants the job. Knowing all of that, the Easter Bunny's insistence that only a bunny can succeed him comes across as narrow-minded, nonsensical, and even a little ungrateful considering everything Carlos and the rest of the chicks have done for him. It's even more absurd when Fred is crowned co-Easter Bunny even though he's not a rabbit, which was the only reason why Carlos was refused the job.
• Fridge Logic:
  • Why on earth would the Easter Bunny only have one son to pass the title down to?
  • Fred lampshades the logic of why a rabbit drops off eggs around the world instead of something that makes more sense, like a chicken.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: 9 years after this movie was released, E.B wouldn't be the only CGI cartoon animal that would befriend a human. Let alone the guy that once played Cyclops himself.
• Ho Yay: Fred and E.B. have a fair bit between them, oddly enough. The coronation scene is played like a wedding!
• I Am Not Shazam: There's no one in the movie actually named Hop.
• Incest Yay Shipping: A lot of the fanbase shipped Fred O'Hare with his sister Sam (played by Kaley Cuoco), due to their closeness and the fact that Sam almost comes off as a love interest in some scenes. Even Carlos shipped them together when he interviewed them in disguise at the behind-the-scenes movie premiere.
• Narm:
  • The scene where Fred finds out that E.B. can talk is extremely hard to take seriously due to how over-the-top it is and the fact that Fred spends a good 10-20 minutes freaking out about it.
  • After deciding to become the Easter Bunny, Fred tells E.B., "I will be the Bunny," with complete and utter seriousness. Yes, really.
• Nightmare Fuel: Carlos's transformation into a chick/bunny hybrid. Hands down.
• No Yay: E.B., an anthropomorphic bunny, develops an attraction to Sam, a human, and even goes so far to sniff her hair and ask Fred, her brother, if she's single.
• Popular with Furries: Most non-negative or So Bad, It's Good attention given to the film comes from furries. E.B. and the Pink Berets are rather popular with rabbit lovers to boot.
• Questionable Casting:
  • What in God's name are The Blind Boys of Alabama doing in a video game recording studio in a movie for kids who in all likelihood have never heard of them (besides playing a rippin' cover of "Higher Ground")?
  • The head of the company explains in a throwaway line that they're recording for a blues installment of the movie's Rock Band -style franchise. As for the kids, well...Why not start 'em on the good stuff when they're young?
• So Bad, It's Good: Many would admit that the film's plot is rather ridiculous and the film itself is a bit awful, but in a charming sort of way. Others are just into the film for E.B. and the Pink Berets.
• Special Effect Failure: When E.B. is speaking to the real Russell Brand, there's a brief moment where his reflection in the mirror behind him doesn't sync up, and instead appears to just be staring at the viewers.
  • In addition to that, E.B.'s animations tend to struggle in keeping up with the camera movements.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: For a movie with a Be Yourself aesop, you'd think that EB wanting to be a drummer and Carlos wanting to be the Easter Bunny would compliment each other and support the message.
• Took the Bad Film Seriously: James Marsden is trying his absolute hardest to make this work and did a good performance. His acting was considered to one of the few good parts of the movie.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: As the protagonist, the audience is meant to feel bad for E.B., since his father is unwilling to let him follow his dreams and do what he wants. However, the way E.B. goes about following his dreams isn't exactly ideal. He runs away from home, guilt-trips a random human he just met into staying at the mansion he's house-sitting, and overall takes advantage of Fred in order to advance his own goals. He comes off as a selfish and rather whiny child as a result, though he does get somewhat better by the end.
