We all love a movie night, with the Easter holidays coming up it’s the perfect time to sit back and chill out over a good film. Whether you’re bundling up with the kids to get in the Easter spirit, or snuggled up on the sofa with your partner and can’t decide what to watch, we’ve got you sorted…
Zootopia
While this adorable Disney movie isn’t about Easter, it is about a very smart bunny. How can you even think about celebrating Easter without a good rabbit-related story? Zootopia is the perfect movie to watch that kids and adults will enjoy.
Hop
The tale of the Easter Bunny and his son. Who travels to Hollywood in search of rock n’ roll stardom. Colourful hijinks ensue as he befriends Fred and the duo team up to save Easter.
Peter Rabbit
The troublesome rabbit from the lovely coloured-picture books comes to the big screen this season as the irreverent Peter Rabbit, who vies for the affection of his tender-hearted neighbour against his infamous nemesis, Mr McGregor. The partially-animated feature is a fun and silly take on the classic tale and will get you hopping into your Easter spirit.
Prince of Egypt
This movie follows Moses’ life and depicts the first Passover, a holiday that regularly overlaps with Easter. Moses’ deliverance of the Israelites out of slavery is oft considered a biblical foreshadowing that parallels Jesus’ death and resurrection, making this movie a great pick for Easter weekend.
