Happy Easter! Chocolate! Spring! BUNNIES! It's a very enjoyable holiday, isn't it? And we've had some gorgeous weather for it this year too.
Maybe I'm wrong on this, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of selection in pop culture regarding the celebration of Easter, outside of maybe a few corny cartoon specials. But, in an attempt to give you at least a little bite of the chocolate bunny, here's some things to check out to get you hopping.
It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown: Like most most Peanuts specials it stands the test of time. Sweet, funny and simple. Plus, Snoopy dances with a group of bunnies. Awww!
South Park "Fantastic Easter Special": This parody of The DaVinci Code attempts to answer one of the great mysteries of our time; What do eggs and rabbits have to do with Christianity? I could tell you, but the South Park answer is much funnier.
Chocolat: An Oscar nominated movie I love to watch at Easter, about a chocolatier and her daughter who move to an uptight French town over Lent and set up shop. Johnny Depp is in it, and you know that he and chocolate go very well together!
Any other examples you can name? Post away.
So whether this holiday strikes a spiritual chord with you or you're more into the egg hunts and visiting the Easter Bunny at the mall, I hope it's a very happy Easter! Long live the Bunny!
