Is there any better way to spend time with the family, than snuggling up eating fistfuls of chocolate while watching Easter movies? We think not.
By Mama Disrupt®
While baskets overflowing with chocolate eggs are a delightful tradition, there’s nothing quite like a family movie night to celebrate the season. But with so many options, choosing the perfect film can feel like searching for an Easter bunny in the outback.
Fear not, fellow egg-xplorers, we’ve curated a list full of fun-filled films that cater to all ages and interests, guaranteed to leave everyone feeling hoppy and entertained.
1. Peter Rabbit
This live-action adventure, based on Beatrix Potter’s beloved character, is a laugh-a-minute romp for the whole family. Watch Peter’s mischievous antics unfold as he clashes with Mr McGregor in a hilarious battle for garden supremacy. With vibrant animation, catchy tunes, and a heartwarming message about friendship, “Peter Rabbit” is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
2. Hop
This comedy adds a modern twist to the Easter Bunny myth. Join E.B., an out-of-work slacker bunny who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (yes, the real one!), and is forced to take over his egg-delivering duties. Filled with slapstick humour, pop culture references, and a sweet coming-of-age story, “Hop” is a hilarious and heartwarming choice for all ages.
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Immerse yourselves in the fantastical world of Willy Wonka and his magical chocolate factory. This classic tale, brought to life with Johnny Depp’s eccentric portrayal of Wonka, is a visual and auditory feast. Follow Charlie Bucket on his golden ticket adventure. Encountering singing Oompa Loompas, chocolate rivers, and fantastical candy creations along the way. It’s a timeless film that will spark imaginations and leave you craving chocolate (and maybe even inventing your own Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans).
4. Rise of the Guardians
This animated dream weaves a tale of familiar holiday heroes like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost, uniting them to face an evil spirit who threatens to extinguish children’s belief. With stunning animation, epic battles, and heartwarming themes of hope and resilience, “Rise of the Guardians” is a fun adventure that celebrates the power of imagination and the spirit of the holidays.
Bonus tip: Make it a movie marathon! Choose two or three films and spread the fun over the Easter long weekend. Add themed snacks like rainbow popcorn and chocolate eggs (of course) to complete the festive experience.
With these fun-filled options, you’re sure to find the perfect film to make your Easter movie night egg-xceptional.
