About the movie:
This movie blends computer animation with live action. James Marsden plays Fred O'Hare, is a slacker who can't find a job. He meets up with the son of the Easter Bunny, E.B. E.B. doesn't want to be the Easter Bunny when he grows up, he wants to be a drummer. All sorts of silly stuff happens when E.B. and Fred get together. However, E.B. has to grow up and defend Easter in the end.
Tim Hill also directed Alvin and the Chipmunks. The screenplay is by the same people who wrote Chicken Little. Russell Brand played the voice of Dr. Nefario in Despicable Me.
Review
This is a cute movie with excellent animation. Kids will enjoy it and it has a sweet message. The baby chicks are bit strange and may scare some young children.
