An out of work slacker accidentally injures the Easter
Bunny and must take reponsibility for him as he
recovers. E.B. (Russell Brand) is the
teenage son of the Easter Bunny, and on the eve of
taking over the family business, he leaves for Hollywood
in pursuit of his dream of becoming a drummer. Once
there, he encounters Fred, an unemployed slacker with
his own lofty goals. Feigning injury, E.B. persuades
Fred to take him in, and Fred finds himself living with
the world's worst houseguest. Back on Easter Island, a
power hungry chick who has lived in the shadows for far
too long has been plotting a coup to take over one of
the biggest jobs in the world. Now that E.B.'s gone,
he's got his chance. As E.B. discovers who he really
wants to be and who he's meant to become, everything
will lead him and Fred in an epic showdown to try and
save Easter.

When the kingdom's most wanted, and most charming, bandit Flynn Rider (Zachary

out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the
handsome thief and the unlikely duo sets off on an action packed escapade,
complete with a super cop horse, an over protective chameleon and a gruff gang
of pub thugs.
