Kids will love Brand's frenetic drumming take on E.B., adults will love that there are a few clandestine adult jokes.

As fake and forgettable as a marshmallow Peep, "Hop" goes down easy enough. It's the thought of a talented actor stuck on an industry conveyor belt that leaves an unfortunate aftertaste.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
Though the integration of live action and animation is improving (especially a scene where E.B. cuddles with Fred's sister), it's still a slightly disorienting experience.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten
Hop is just too shrill, slick and sickly sweet for anybody's good. Watching it won't rot your teeth, but it could leave an ugly cavity in your brain.
Tom Long, Detroit News

A fun and funny mix of live action and animation that puts the hop back into Easter.
