Who voices E.B., the Easter Bunny's son in the animated film "Hop"?

Russell Brand voices E.B., the Easter Bunny’s son, in the animated/live-action film “Hop.”

Released in 2011, “Hop” follows E.B., a teenage rabbit expected to inherit his father’s role as the Easter Bunny. Rather than preparing to deliver Easter treats, E.B. dreams of becoming a rock drummer. He runs away to Hollywood, where he meets Fred O’Hare, played by James Marsden, after an accident brings the two characters together.

Russell Brand provides E.B.’s voice in the original English-language version. The film combines computer-animated characters with live-action human performers, including Kaley Cuoco, Hank Azaria, Gary Cole, Elizabeth Perkins, Hugh Laurie, and Chelsea Handler. Hugh Laurie voices E.B.’s father, the Easter Bunny, which is the most likely source of confusion in questions about the film’s rabbit characters.

“Hop” was directed by Tim Hill and produced by Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures. Brand’s performance is central to the film’s comic tone, portraying E.B. as rebellious, musically ambitious, and reluctant to accept the family tradition awaiting him.
