Putting it all together, it sounds like HOP would've been a better movie if Fred was canned and it was a parody spy movie about the Pink Berets hunting down the Easter Bunny after Papa Bunny dies or becomes ill leaving Carlos to run the factory only for the twist to be that the Easter Bunny is some shmuck who genuinely doesn't want the job but is a good drummer, ending with Carlos becoming the first chicken bunny because he is good at his job.
SaintSentry I can understand what his father did, really. When I was 6 we went to a ranch to get a goat. The next day, while it was snowing outside, my parents were skinning and basically breaking down the goat alive yet (I think) paralyzed, from the outside to it's insides, who was hanging from a tree with rope around it's hind hoofs. It didn't matter that my friends and I were 6, they just did it and soon we ate it. At least they didn't wrap it and put it in the fridge, ew.
Raptor Bait But the chart says that kids would be confused on what happened to the bunny, so it's better just not to kill it off and use our more important ideas. Such as......Ehh..What did we have for this movie again?
Wait. Fred O'Hare? An Illumination Entertainment film? I wonder if he's related to ALOYSIUS O'HARE THE MAN WHO FOUND A WAY TO SELL AIR AND BECAME A ZILLIONAIRE!
@@ghidorbruh7140 THE HERETICS SHALL TASTE THE BITE OF MY FLAMING SWORD, FOR THEIR WORSHIP OF THE YELLOW DEMONS IS A SIN IN THE EYES OF GOD, AND NONE BUT THE HOLY DOOMSLAYER IS FIT TO DISPOSE OF THEM!
L It was named so many things like the Booty Dance, Booty Bounce, Booty Shake, the Bump, and finally getting a semi-official one, Twerking. God save us all.
Six years from the future, and Schaffrillas Productions wanted *NO ONE* to watch Hop every Easter, during the final segment of his Illumination ranking. The best thing is the Termina Final Hours theme plays as he rants about Hop for nearly 10 minutes(with the segment's editor completely traumatized). The movie broke James mentally, but not as much as Megamind 2. He also admitted Hop is like The Smurfs movie but without Gargamel whilst mentioning the Sony Pictures Animation ranking. Yes, Hop was that bad it caused the downfall of Illumination after a solid outing like Despicable Me, and caused the studio to abandon live action-animated hybrids.
@@masterseal0418 Dude this is the funniest thing because when I got the notification that you replied my family was watching it as we speak 😂 6 years later
7:28 to be fair, If I ever came across a bunny voiced by Russell Brand, I'd end it's suffering, too. It's already suffering because of being voiced by Russell Brand.
But Nebbicadnezer's wasn't, they made chocolate bunnies 24/7, though if you don't bow to a giant bunny statue they will throw you into a furnace. Talk about bad retirement plans.
Fun fact: The scene where Fred and EB were in the car was reused for the Sonic movie since Jeff Fogler who worked on the awful Alvin and the Chipmunks-esque movies made the Sonic 2020 film(also featuring James Mardsen) an apology to the garbage films he made years ago. That’s kinda amazing!
4:15 4,000 years? Jesus was born like 2000 years ago, and they're trying to tell me that they've been giving out chicken eggs from an island (that at 1917 BC was isolated AND didn't even have chickens) since Egyptian times? Thousands of years before Easter was even a holiday? That makes no sense! Also, carrots actually aren't good for rabbits. If this bunny ate a diet of this much carrots he'd probably be dead
I remember being a coffee barista and taking an elderly lady's order on Easter and she mentioned how she loved that someone was making this movie called "Hop" that talks about Jesus Christ rising from the dead. She said it so warmly and happily and I looked up Pan's review and I'm still confused on what drugs that lady was on
Its frustrating. the designs are really cute, but theyre wasted on a LIVE ACTION movie. It should of been completely animated. Also wouldn't mind the Pink Berets getting more prominent roles cause they were generally awesome..
I agree, even seeing footage of the Pink Berets just makes me wish they gotten there own film fully animated let alone a spin-off film and completely removing the other characters and the Easter elements and having no relation to the original film the trio debuted came from with a better director. The Pink Berets are the only characters from HOP that I actually liked and enjoyed since the other characters were boring. I was actually rotting for the Pink Berets more than the main characters themselves. I still can't get over how after they are turned into chocolate statues when everything is back to normal. You never see the Pink Berets again or see them recover from their chocolate prison. Any of the scenes featuring the Pink Berets is the only scenes from HOP that I can remember the most. They really deserve they own film considering how cool most of there scenes were. Ilumination needs to think a making a Pink Berets movie in the future and making the film as if the film HOP never existed.
This basically shouldn't have been a live-action/CG blend to begin with. It feels written to be animated, but went with the blend road to cash in on that time's relevant CG critter movies that were making bank. So that's why the live-action feels like an afterthought like the casting of James Marsden and why a lot of the CG looks like a strange in-between of realistic-ish and cartoony like their animated movies. Also in another attempt to equal the other CG critter movies, they farmed the CG out to Rhythm and Hues who normally worked on these kind of movies until they went bankrupt. The one great thing Illumination has done since Hop is that they learnt from this film's mild disappointment and (thus far) stopped doing live-action.
Why do they always shoot these CG-animated/live action kids movies with super, super, high contrast and an oversaturated colour palette that Michael Bay would call too much? Doesn't that just make blending the CGI in the environment even harder?
IronPiedmont1996 Actually, I think it's there to try and liven them up and make everything look more "dynamic." There are plenty of other movies that often have really bland cinematography. Just look at any comedy movie from the past decade not directed by Edgar Wright. The funny thing is this movie's DP, Peter Lyons Collister, actually IS Michael Bay's go-to 2nd Unit DP on most of his movies. I guess he just transplanted all of his crew and equipment over from Transformers and didn't bother to change anything to fit the new genre.
I know, those are basically the pride of Italy (like Nutella), but U.S. law forbids to sell food with non-edible parts inside, and kinder eggs are thus forbidden in the US. I know there's a sort of black market for them from Canada in the northern states though.
Since 1968 (the year the eggs were introduced in Italy) that has happened worldwide just 2 times, when two 2-year old (who shouldn't have had the eggs anyway since the box specifies for kids from 3 year old and up, and always supervised by parents) died in the UK. The mothers tried to appeal to the European Court to have Kinder eggs banned in the EU, but the judge said that it was their fault only, and not the eggs or Ferrerro's fault.
Ugh... Tim Hill. Tim "gleefully ruined Muppets from Space" Hill. Tim "kids won't understand or dig the original twist ending, they'd rather see Kermit check his mail and paint the house" Hill... good ol' Tim "I'm doing this film only as a stepping stone from good Nickelodeon programming to less than mediocre hybrid kiddy flicks" Hill.....
Ok, I got the man who's directed Home Alone 3, Scooby-Doo and the sequel (live action), and The Smurfs with the sequel: Ladies and Gentlemen: Raja Gosnell.
Well... I have to admit, at least he had direction and vision for the Scooby movies. Tim Hill just has no vision or ambition and his films have an overall "blah" feel to them. Like he somehow doesn't care. I'm kinda glad he was shooed back to doing DTV/Telefilms with the Grumpy Cat thing.
I nearly saw HOP at the movies, but it was full. So we saw Rio instead.....not bad. I then saw HOP on DVD 3 years later, i decided to watch it..... I'm proud for not watching a CGI rabbit poop Easter eggs on someone's car in 3D
On May 3, 2007, a home video surfaced of Hasselhoff apparently in an alcoholic stupor. His daughter, Taylor Ann, who shot the video, can be heard saying, "Tell me you are going to stop, tell me you are going to stop." The daughter also warns her father he could be jeopardizing his spot on the Las Vegas production of The Producers.[80] In the wake of the leaked clip, Hasselhoff issued a statement saying it was recorded by Taylor Ann so that he could see how he behaved while intoxicated and the footage was deliberately released.[81][82] As a result of the video, Hasselhoff's visitation rights with his two daughters were suspended on May 7, 2007, for two weeks until the video's authenticity and distributor were determined.[83] In May 2009, Hasselhoff's attorney, Mel Goldsman, described Hasselhoff as "a recovering alcoholic".[84]
I think this movie was targeted towards manchildren. I mean why else is the main antagonist a 38 year old old fart who has a mom and sister who baby him a lot? The movie also likes to reference 80's and 2000's pop culture I say this because protagonists in movies like these are down on their luck men who end meeting magical people and go on whacky adventures with them. And somehow, their dull and unfulling life improves after meeting said magical people You know this is starting to sound like an anime show........
HOP, Despiciable Me 1-3, Minions, Sing, Smurfs, Trolls, The Secret Lives of Pets... Boss. Baby.What an esteemed filmography. God I hate animated movies now.
We live in a age were artistic films like Good Dinosaur/Kubo The 2 Strings are deemed to scary for kids and books like Captain Underpants(Has most of the same content as modern kids films) are deemed too inappropriate. Incredibles2 and How to Train Your Dragon3 are our last hopes.
well at least disney still provides good movies like wreck it ralph or the lego movie saying that we live in a dark era of animation Is not really true sing,and the secret life of pets are O.K nothing special nothing terrible,the first despicable me was good the rest eh,trolls is another typical dreamwork movie same with boss baby,overall there's good and bad
I am also glad that Disney isn't trying to thrive on trending topics. Though samuel hadjaissa the Lego movie was Warner Bros + Animal Farm and directed by the guys from Robot Chicken. (I get the confusion, though, Disney Bought Star Wars right after WB got the rights to use it for the Lego Movie)
Kitty Haze Same here. After Redfoo's promo vid with the chipmunk: the roadchip (HAHAHAHAHA... *COUGH*...*SIGH) by making a new dance called the squeeky wiggle... I... fuck those chipmunks, The chipmunks were cool in the 80's, but now? Those are just cretins masquerading the good name of a band who were dead and are running it in the dirt.
For some reason I actually know. They broke up. Redfoo was popular for a while as a solo act while the other one exposed him as a twat and started his solo carear that will no doubt be extremely unsuccessful if it isn't already.
Geeeee8 Aw man... First it was the duo of mythbusters. Then it was Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Now this!? I guess buddy duos are just gonna split up in the end. DISSUCKSS!
I actually used to be really obsessed with this movie when it first came out for some reason I really can't fathom at this point in my life. I'm glad I've grown past that and can laugh at how bad this movie is. To bad Trolls pretty much ruined Russel Brand's voice for me, lmao.
This is one of those movies where the CGI character is weird looking and the live action people are so bland they fit in well with a Gap commercial and live in a house out of an IKEA commercial.
God, that Akira reference when Carlos was becoming a rabbit was hilarious. Nice job with the rest of this video, Pan! 17:19 Also, that joke would be perfect for my DMC3 review during the Arkham boss fight segment, and why it sucks.
Illumination has got to be the most mediocre animation company out there. Not Blue Sky shit, not Dreamworks shit with a few gold sprinkles, not Pixar (mostly) brilliant, just mediocre and standard beyond belief. They advertise their movies like crazy and build them up as these things to get so hyped over, then you go see them and...meh? I mean I liked Sing but I'm not going to praise it for being unique or groundbreaking and the rest of their films are just stuff we have seen before or a predictable tale with hit or miss jokes that mostly miss.
Roger Rabbit was a 1988 2D animated character who blended in better with the human world than any CG character that's been in a live-action movie. Except maybe the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, and that was in 1993. Western animation is going to die. The animatapocalypse, everyone. :(
Simaginary Friend and number 2: i am sick of cgi animated films. before you comment, don’t get me wrong i loved pixar and liked dreamworks, i just think cg animation isn’t anything special anymore due to that. like when was the last 2d hand draw animated film we ever saw that isn’t from foreign countries, limited releases, or an adaptation of a popular tv cartoon
Hold on, hold on, hold... on... When EB is infront of his studio mirror saying he is a shining star... was that a Boogie Nights reference? In a family movie? Good lord!
Russell Brand is the doctor from Despicable Me, does anyone like him in that role? I mean, they mentioned how people realized he wasn't talented or something so his career collapsed, but I feel like that is probably one of his better roles.
Coincidentally, Good Charlotte did their own version of I Want Candy for an entirely different film, but there's a version by Cody Simpson on the soundtrack. and i'll give em credit, it sounds nice. used to play it all the time in Tap Tap Revenge 4
My sister told me about this when we were little and I remember how I used to be obsessed with Russell Brand for some odd reason. When I found out the dude was in this movie I got interested, yet didn't have enough interest to actually watch it. I never actually watched it though. What can I say? I wasn't in the mood to see Penny from The Big Bang Theory eat E.B.'s "jelly beans".
Something to note about the song "I want candy" in kids movies, it is about a girl named Candy not actual candy, and knowing this it bugs me, probably more than it should.
Well at least a year later DreamWorks gave us a true Easter Bunny! Wolverine brought a true badass Aussie bunny to life! He even showed us why he leaves eggs and candy, he gives everyone hope.
@@CookieChanMeoooow I know that people were little kids when they watched this. I think when I wrote that I was talking about if they knew what the logo was at the age but not the meaning probably
@@ivygirl9119 OHH yeah i'm surprised they allowed that in a kids movie. i also knew about the logo when i was younger but never what it was/meant. i just saw it on perfume and thought it was cute because you know.. a bunny!
I like RebelTaxi's version of the whole film. It cuts to the chase, and it makes a ton more sense compared to the actual one. If HISHE ever made a video for this film, they might as well use that clip at the end of this video.
we watched this in class once and this one fat girl was so pumped by it during the end credits song she started 'dancing' in class (just wobbling around really) idk how to feel about it
Those lines about Russell Brand's career being in and out were hilarious. I especially found them hilarious because of how right you were. To be completely honest, I really forgot he existed until this video. I never thought he was funny either. And I never knew anybody who did either. I think he also had his own show on FX which was so short lived. Btw does anybody know where to go to listen to the Pizza Party Podcast as they are doing it live? That way I can ask some questions some time as they are doing it live? I'm not entirely sure how it works.
I remember seeing this in theaters, we had gotten free tickets to see a kids movie after the projector showing Toy Story 3 broke down. No one really wanted to see it but we needed to use the tickets before they expired.
