Rabbits in the movies

By Susan King, Los Angeles Times

From 'Bambi' to 'Night of the Lepus' to Bugs Bunny, rabbits have had a place in Hollywood. The latest is 'Hop.'

With this being the Chinese Year of the Rabbit, and with "Hop," Russell Brand's tribute to the Easter Bunny, out this weekend, it felt like the right time to get a little hopped up. Bunnies have long been a favorite subject of writers — think Beatrix Potter and Lewis Carroll — and don't forget American folklore's Br'er Rabbit of the Uncle Remus stories. They've had an impact on the big screen as well. So, while Brand romps across theaters as E.B., the son of the Easter Bunny (voiced by Hugh Laurie) who doesn't want to follow in his father's paw prints, we take a look at some of the most memorable rabbits in movies.
