Mr. Bunny

Mr. Bunny is the father of E.B. and the former Easter Bunny in the 2011 film Hop.

He is voiced by Hugh Laurie.

He first appears at the start of the film showing E.B. around the Easter Factory. He is then seen sometime later delivering candy to Fred O'Hare's house unaware that Fred is watching. Mr. Bunny is then seen 20 years later, going to E.B.'s room and finds him playing on his drum kit. He tells his son that he is about to become the next Easter Bunny. But E.B. doesn't want to be the Easter Bunny and wants to be a drummer instead, but Mr. Bunny tells him that 4000 years of tradition doesn't end just because one selfish bunny doesn't feel like doing it and also tells E.B. to get rid of the drums and get his priorities straight before leaving the room.

Afterwards, Mr. Bunny discovers that E.B. has ran away and feels guilty for what he said and sends out his royal guard The Pink Berets to go and find him. They find what they think is E.B. (really it's a turkey) and bring Fred to The Easter Factory believing that he killed E.B. which saddens Mr. Bunny. After his second-in-command Carlos takes over the factory, he has Mr. Bunny along with Fred tied up in liquorice and lowered into hot candy to be boiled alive.

Luckily E.B. arrives and battles Carlos (who has become a rabbit/chick hybrid due to exposure to the magic of The Egg of Destiny) whilst Fred frees himself and Mr. Bunny by eating the liquorice. After Carlos's defeat, Mr. Bunny and E.B. reconcile and Mr. Bunny makes E.B. and Fred Co-Easter Bunnies.
