Hop is a 2011 American live-action animated Easter comedy film directed by Tim Hill and written by Brian Lynch, Cinco Paul, and Ken Daurio. Produced by Illumination Entertainment, it stars James Marsden, Kaley Cuoco, Gary Cole, Elizabeth Perkins, David Hasselhoff, and Chelsea Handler, with the voices of Russell Brand, Hank Azaria, and Hugh Laurie. The film follows a young rabbit who would rather drum in a band than succeed his father as the Easter Bunny, and befriends a human slacker seeking a job.

Hop premiered at Universal Studios Hollywood on March 27, 2011, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 1 by Universal Pictures, and received mixed reviews from critics. It was a box-office success, grossing $188.5 million against a budget of $63 million. It was also the first and, as of 2026, only partially live-action film to be produced by Illumination.
