Look, I'll be straight with you: Hop is not good. It has a 25% critic score for a reason—it's formulaic, unoriginal, and even in 2011 it felt stale. Now in 2025, it's practically unwatchable for modern kids who've been raised on Pixar and Spider-Verse.
The premise (Easter Bunny's son wants to be a drummer, meets a slacker human) sounds fun but the execution is lazy. The humor is low-effort, the characters are stereotypes, and multiple parents flagged concerns about the messaging. Even the 'follow your dreams' moral feels half-baked.
Is it safe? Mostly, yeah—some cartoonish violence and rude humor, but nothing traumatizing. Is it worth your time? Absolutely not. There are dozens of better family movies on Netflix. This is the kind of movie you put on when your kid is sick, you've exhausted every other option, and you're desperate. And even then, they'll probably ask to watch something else halfway through.
