| This "Easter" film has no references to the Christian religion.
| None. Nothing about Jesus on Easter. Not even going to church.
| Nada. There is, however, a possible pagan allusion. Even
| thousands of years before Christ, say, 4,000 years ago, some in
| the Middle East worshipped a goddess named Astarte. Some say
| this fertility goddess is the source of the egg traditions that
| surround Easter, the name of which is supposedly derived from
| Astarte. Others attribute the eggs and rabbits of Easter to a
| later, German goddess, Eostre. Regardless of whether Easter came
| from Astarte or Eostre, the Christian church attempted to
| "redeem" this worship by attaching its festivals to Christ's
| resurrection. The bunnies and eggs remained, but the meaning has
| largely been about Jesus for centuries. Apparently, now that
| we've thrown out Jesus, but not the eggs and bunnies, the
| concept has come full circle, as the Easter Bunny Dad in "Hop"
| refers to the delivering of eggs and Easter baskets as a
| "4,000-year tradition." Hmm.

| At one point the Easter bunny patriarch (Hugh Laurie) worries
| about the decline of a "4,000-year tradition" of jelly-bean and
| basket delivery, which is either a startling mathematical lapse
| or a stunning revisionist assertion. Apparently, in the
| worldview of "Hop," which was directed by Tim Hill - also the
| director of "Alvin and the Chipmunks"! - pagan rabbit candy
| rites predated by nearly two millenniums the events in
| Roman-occupied Jerusalem that they have long been supposed to
| commemorate.
