- The Holiday of Easter is one of the weirdest in America, frankly, and I decided to set out to review some of the weirdest films made to match.

My animation professor did a lot of animation on the Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, and most of the bad guy chick in Hop. I learned alot about how most of what animators do is doing your best on bad movies to pay bills. I will say that the animation on all of these looks pretty damn good, but the compositing and some vfx really don't blend great, and that ends up making things look bad (not that what they were blending into was great in the first place). But that's not so much on the animation itself, . I mean damn, every one of those damn chipmunk shots took months to animate, with hundreds of iterations. Woof.
Also the animatiors all know what this is, a common animator game is to get as many people together as you can and compete to see who has the lowest rotten tomatoes score to their name. They know. You still knuckle down and do the best job you can anyway, if for nobody else but yourself and your demo reel. and maybe to 'win' the rotten tomatoes game.
Fun fact, the studio that made Hop had only really specialized in super realistic work before, and their riggers could not understand why the animators would want bouncier, more exaggerated and malleable characters. Or at least, they had no idea how to deliver flexable models so they just didn't. He spent most of that production fighting the guy rigging the villian cuz my prof wanted him to do big cartoonish actions and treat him like a two stretchy balls connected to eachother, but just couldn't cuz the model would constantly break. These cartoon chickens were never being built to do cartoonish actions. That odd disconnect of highly restrictive animation put onto extremely cartoonish characters goes a long way to making it feel off, even before you get to akward blending of live action and cg.
A great many people spent years upon years of dedicated schooling, countless nights spent crying over artistic insecurities, braved a job market that will toss you out without warning, being fired and hired and refired, and have accepted professions that nobody will ever notice the good work you do and will always blame you for everything. And they did it all so that they could make Hop. This is the end-point of all of those college panic attacks.
Making Hop.
Great comment, very interesting. Should be at the top
This is exactly the sort of thing I fear the most right now as a high-school graduate currently in his gap year.
I want to go into the creative entertainment industries, movies, animation, video games, etc... because I like to be creative, and every other industry doesn't even come close to piquing my interest.
However, as I learn more and more about these industries that seem like a dream come true for me, the less appealing it becomes.
I want to be a part of something beautiful, full of creative passion, like Into The Spider-Verse.
Spider-Verse surprised everyone with how good it was because it was coming from Sony and not Marvel. It is my second favorite animated film of all time, second only to Redline.
The problem is that films like Spider-Verse and Redline are rare due to how the entertainment industry works.
For every Spider-Verse, there is an Emoji Movie, a Smurfs, a Pixels, and a Hop, which are all animated (or at least partly animated) films also published by Sony.
Those terrible pieces of corporate schlock? All of them made WAY more profit than Spider-Verse.
Redline too, an absolute Master-Piece of animation that was the result of *SEVEN YEARS* of *HAND DRAWN* passion and love for the medium, was a total flop at the box office.
So this means that the majority of productions in entertainment is corporate schlock, or even worse, corporate feces (insert picture of Emoji Movie here).
I know it's a tough business, and you need to be strong to survive.
But the problem I'm facing is that I, despite how much I want to just say FUCK IT and try anyways, cannot gather the strength to forge forward if all I can think about is that all of my struggles will ultimately lead up to me working on the next Emoji Movie.
My heart just can't take the possibility of that bleak future.
ok, before I start what I'm gonna say, I gotta say this:
Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse DID NOT flop at the box office, if anything it was a HUGE success.
The box office for the movie was around $375.5 million, which might sound low, BUT you gotta keep in mind of the budget.
the budget for the movie was around $90 Million (that's almost Illumination levels of a cheap budget for animation standards)
not to mention the marketing, the total cost would be around $150 Million-$200 Million, but it would STILL be a success because it earned $175.5 Million more than the possible total budget including marketing, plus it was a MASSIVE critical success (which Sony NEEDED after The Emoji Movie) and the fact that it won a FUCKING OSCAR, BEATING 2 DISNEY MOVIES make the movie have more recognition in blu ray sales ON TOP that it's on netflix gives it EVEN more attention, and heck, when the movie was still in theaters, Sony did announce that not only they're working on a Spider-Verse 2 (which is coming out on April 8th, 2022), but it's gonna have a FULL FRANCHISE. From a Spider-Gwen Stand Alone Movie, to a Spider-Verse TV SHOW, to a potential Spider-Ham Short Series, and potential crossovers with the Venom series and the MCU. Plus it earned more money than The Emoji Movie (which earned $217.7 Million, granted most likely alot of the money goes from the viewers who watch it ironically expecting a "The Room" style so bad it's good kind of movie, thanks Jacksfilms) And yes, Spider-verse made more money than Pixels ($244.9 Million), Smurfs The Lost Village ($197.2 Million) and Hop ($184 Million) and that's not even bringing up the merchandise sales because it's Spider-Man and that Post Malone song
as for Redline, it was mostly a Japan only release with a intentional limited american release (as like an event arthouse film), so if that movie bombs, you can mostly blame the japan movie market (even though we actually DON'T know how much money it earned so it maybe made it's money back and didn't flop in the first place and it was potentially forgotten for SOME REASON, many movies that earned so much money eventually get forgotten where even the company themselves forget about them as well. like for example, the Live Action Disney Remakes)
NOW, what I was trying to say: Don't feel discouraged because you would potentially work on a crappy movie, if you want to animate good on a bad movie, then why not use that to your advantage! Put out your all to make a mediocre movie a sight to see! Where you would be the one who would put the diamond in the rough! Plus it could potentially inspire others to create something even better with even the visuals of a bad movie! a big part with the impact of animation is *inspiration, how when one person creates something amazing, alot of other people have that special spark within them! (and it could be any element, from ANY MOVIE) I mean back to the emoji movie, while I don't like the movie at all, there are some elements that I gotta admit I LOVE and to some merit I had some inspiration towards (like some creative ideas they had with the apps, the AMAZING movement direction which is the right blend of organic movements and cartoony movement, and the score, OOOOOOOOOOOOH MAN THE SCORE!)
the point is with all of this, not everything in the industry is black and white, and not everything in there is doom and gloom, like you said: with every emoji movie, there's a spider-verse
but sometimes you gotta make every frame count and unleash your creativity and your all no matter how bad the script is, because potentially, you could make something that would be the best thing to remember and something that could inspire someone! (Plus with all the new people you'll meet that would inspire you, root for you, and be with you no matter what! Heck maybe some of them could lend you onto BETTER movies more often haha!)
I'm sorry if this is going too long, I'm just always 100% hopeful and optimistic and I wanna be a full time movie director in the future! (currently doing great progress into that goal!) and I always wanted to just bring joy, love, happiness, and inspiration to all kinds of people everywhere, to show everyone that you can do anything no matter what! (that is my main goal as a director!) I hate whenever I see people just give up and think bleak of the future, because the future is always what you make it.
sorry sorry I just hope you understand what I mean with all of this! and I hope you potentially have that passion shining again!
That's extremely depressing.

Wow, this comment chain devolved and exploded in a hilarious way.
I mean, things like the Easter Bunny and Father Christmas are borrowed and adapted from (mostly European and Middle Eastern) pagan practices and folklore. But consumerism has absolutely massively transformed those as well.
no, not rly. it's pretty much just passover but with jesus and the concept of "rebirth". it even has the same name as passover (pesach, or a derivative thereof) everywhere in europe except the british isles
pupyfan69 Yes and no. Easter is fundamentally Passover with a lot of esoteric early Christian and a smaller sampling of Germanic pagan iconography stapled on willy-nilly, but Christmas is *extremely* pagan at its core, being a hybrid of Saturnalia with various Germanic and Celtic winter festivals as co-opted by Christianity and then merged with the Feast of St. Nicholas, which while very much a Christian holiday (Nicholas was one of the architects of the Nicene Creed) was also part of a tradition of saint veneration that goes back to the days of local cults to minor gods common throughout the Roman Empire and, in different ways, the ancient world at large. (Japanese folk Shinto and local variants of Buddhism and Hinduism throughout Asia still maintain this.)
Weird then it happens at the same time the pagans celebrated the fertility goddess Eostre, who according to their myths turned a bird into a rabbit that still continued to lay eggs, but ones as bright and colorful as spring. Leading to their tradition of painting eggs in bright spring colors.
All of which is predated by a spring goddess called Ishatar who's symbols included eggs and rabbits.
I remember watching the CGI Peter Cottontail movie.
The movie's CGI was way, *WAY* worse and far less cooler than I remember.
i know right! i used to love that movie lol
Same here
3:47 "I'VE MADE THE LAST SUPPER OUT OF PEEPS!"
I almost died when I heard that
Same, I'm rewatching this and I almost choked on the food I was eating at that moment
I had forgotten about Hop...I was perfectly okay with having forgotten about Hop. It came out at just the moment when I was old enough to realize how awful most kids movies are.
I have never forgotten about Hop. Every time I hear the words “holiday movie” I think of Hop. It never leaves my head.
I unironically watched “the dog who saved” movies when I was in middleschool. My parents forced me. We had a blonde lab named Zeus, and they saw a dog similar to him with the same name in the commercials and it became an unfortunate tradition.
We call that child abuse to be forced to sit through those movies
Honestly, just Stockholm it. To this day I think Christmas with the Kranks is a flawless classic because my grandparents turned it into a Thanksgiving tradition heralding the Christmas season… also it’s a god tier horror comedy.
All hail Eostre, the Goddess of the spring, of birth, of fertility, you can see her will with the propagation of new life and rabbits and the hatching of eggs.
Alexander Colefield no
no, no, don't do it, don't do it' no
Hail Eostre!
Alexander Colefield It's funny, a lot of the seemingly pagan aspects of Easter are actually Christian or even Jewish in origin-unlike with, say, Christmas, which is heavily informed by Roman, Germanic and Celtic Winter Solstice traditions-but actual contemporary Christian accounts such as the works of Bede attribute the *name* of the holiday to Saxon pagans. It's a weird holiday.
It's amazing how little Here Comes Peter Cottontail looks like the original film. These characters look almost nothing like their original counterparts.
Sonic the hedgehog 2019 is s spiritual successor to HOP
I'm Single is that the same guy in both movies
how could you say something so controversial yet so brave?
See, THAT'S why I had a bad feeling about the initial trailer. Sonic's design didn't bother me, it was the fact they seemed to be doing the stupid Hop/Alvin/Smurf plot.
@@crimsondynamo615 yes, yes it is.
@prickly pear Agreed. I can get over the Alvin movies, sans the Squeakquel, but I can never get over Hop or the Live Action Smurfs Movies. And the fact that Sonic made a similar plot to Hop is depressing. Maybe if a few scenes were kept in, like the alternate opening, the extra scene where Sonic and Tom had a talk in Tom's wife's house, and that Sonic had a design that's less cartoony, I would hate it less.
Jacqueline Frost looks like a Monster High character.
Right
Reminds me of a Bratz doll
Ah
When I first saw the movie when I was at a baby sitter I had the exact thoughts
That’s an insult to monster high. Jacqueline Frost looks like the blue puffy thing from the Barbie fairy movie.
I first saw this movie in like second grade. The only thing I remember is Jacqueline's elements song.

I had the peter cottontail reboot on dvd as a kid, no idea how i sat through it so many times lmao
That rabbit is voiced by Tom Kenny btw
Gotta admit, that Peter Cottontail ending had me dying with laughter. Too bad the other two movies just made me want to die in general.
Why did you have to remind me of the weird Peter Cottontail sequel. This ran on cartoon network RELENTLESSLY during Easter and little kid me just wanted the Rankin/Bass one 😭
i love u quinton but ur cat really stole the show
You were pretty on point with your Endgame plot prediction, friend.
Best part of Hop was the Webkinz tie ins
Playhouse Disney played that Peter Cottontail movie so many times .....
I remember first seeing advertisements for the new Peter Cottontail movie sequel back when I was a kid at some Denny's-style restaurant, with drawing puzzles and that sort of thing, with the movie characters in it. I kid you not, that was my very first 'generation gap' moment. I wasn't happy, lol.
Peter Cottontail is probably the most underrated Rankin Bass special. I wish it aired on TV as often as the others
Ayy thanks for the shout-out man!
"I MADE THE LAST SUPPER OUT OF PEEPS" best (censored) line ever
Fuck I'm cringy
I never thought I’d ever see that damn rabbit in a UA-cam thumbnail but oh boy was I surprised
I disagree with how you represent holidays in this video. You seem to think most Western holidays are Christian in origin, and we just pretend they aren't to solve the whole "Not everyone is Christian" situation. While in fact most holidays are pagan traditions, and Christians just started to pretend they weren't to solve the whole "God will get angry with you" situation.
This matters, because I don't see the taking Jebus out of Easter thing as much as a corruption of the essence of Easter in order to make money. Instead I think it is a return to the more traditional style of Easter in order to make money.
This best he worst comment of all time
I came into the comment section just to make sure this was said. thank you.
James Marsden sure does a lot of "Road Trip with Animated Character" movies.
this is why i sleep in my closet
3:44-3:50 the timing, and the way "peeps" is delivered makes me want to know this five second clip to everyone in the world. That's the best thing I've heard all week
Not sure if youve explored the prechristian pagan origins of holidays such as Easter. The rabbit, eggs, and "rebirth" or resurrection themes of Easter all come from paganism.
All major holidays were originally pagan and have survived into modern times via forced assimilation by Christianity.
Um, have you actually explored those claims? I've looked up for sources on any pagan easter holidays, non include eggs and definetly no rabbits in their tales, the Egg is actually a medevial Christian tradition, to paint them blood red and to have a lent on eating any, and therm rabbit was literally a recent fairy tale made in the 19th century around. But the idea of rebirth's are prominent in all cultures celebrating around "Easter time" (which is just holidays taking place in spring), and it all has to do with it being the rebirth of plants and stuff, that's all.
@@sebili0n99 uh, bruh. Easter is literally named after the pagen goddess "Easter." Rabbits come from Eostre (sometimes considered the same. Depends on the pagen.) It's a pretty surface, non-obscure level of paganism. :V
yo my dad did a lot of the special effects for hop (worked for a company that was essentially licensed out for uncredited effects work at the time) and we used to watch that shit every year. the entire hop is burned in to my head, pretty sure I could recite scenes from it if I tried :(
if this makes you feel better, the celebration of Easter is older than Christianity, and the 'easter trees' are a tradition since ever, it's all over Europe
one less type of decor to cringe about
Easter has significance for me as an atheist, I have the day off work for easter monday.

@@ltakethefatlplease.3380 They’re not even trying to be edgy or offend anyone, they’re just making a joke about how Easter benefits them despite being an atheist. You’re looking to be offended if you are offended by something as silly as this.
@@thisisbetterthanmyprevious6674 no I ain't offended as a Christian I am offended that it is just criminally unfunny, and comes off like every other neckbeard on the internet.
I feel like you over-simplified a bit in the beginning, since our holiday traditions are, yes, influenced by consumerism, but a lot of those holiday traditions the companies play off of are rooted in paganist roots, Easter especially. Eggs and rabbits being fertility symbols and whatnot.
this has no bearing on the content of the rest of the video though, so it makes sense to omit it.
...
this comment is useless, but I've already written it so I may as well post it
10:02 my soul left my body, holy shit
Edit: and again at 17:55. The after credit scenes of these movies are actual, literal, gold
Well said at the end, Sir! Easter is always a weird holiday from a non-religious standpoint. It tries so hard to be Christmas 2, but ends up being.... well, this!
I had HOP as a kid on DVD. Always despise it, but could never really put into words what was wrong with it because I refused to rewatch it other than I hated how forced all of the music shit was. It was so glaringly corporate and it seems like the only creative process they had was going off a checklist - and 'pop song because all the popular movies have pop songs' was top of the list.
"I would love to stop this segment and tell you all about... "
Anyone else about to fast-forward the Skillshare ad that wasn't there?
literally when i first saw the cover for the dog who saved easter i read it as "who saved dog easter?"
coming back to these old videos makes me excited for the post-NSU Quinton Reviews. I love the NSU stuff don't get me wrong, but it'll be cool to see what comes next. Hopefully Spy Kids content lol
I bet you anything you've got a million comments to the tune of "many non-religious elements of our holidays were taken from European folklore and mythos" and yeah they're right but... no, wait yeah they're right. The opening bit kinda made it sound a touch like these holidays were all Christian from the dawn of time until America's consumerism spat all over 'em. Most of these were old ass Pagan festivals the not-so-ancient Romans hijacked and smothered with Jesus, while the secular variants are really sanitary, consumer-friendly, and exaggerated revivals of the Pagan shit brought on by America's consumerism spitting on them.
Quinton, I can't wait for "The Armadillo who saved Yom Kippur 2 Electric Boogaloo XXV 13 Reloaded Accession Eternal Infinite Endgame Origins" releasing in 2074
Can't believe you didn't mention that the Peter Cottontail sequel had the voices of Miranda Cosgrove, Molly, Shannon, Kenan Thompson, David Koechner, and CHRISTOPHER LLOYD
You better review Furry Vengeance
Hanging things from a “tree” actually kinda looks like the old Swedish Easter tradition, where they stick colourful feathers and baubles on birch twigs.
I didn't think Hop was that bad.
I was 10 or so at the time *Inocence is a multiple edged sword.*
I remember the Peter Cottontail movie with Tom Kenny! “Paint the eggs one at a time Jr.” I remember it after all these years. Well, that film and the Vegitales Easter Carol. The early 00’s were weird.
Wait holy shit Quinton you probably just explained why the aliens from Independence Day ever wanted to kill us all.
Reviews start at 4:14
Great video overall, however your delivery of Christmas being "an American tradition based around gift giving" severely glossed over how all the elements of Santa, gifts, Christmas tree, etc. are adopted largely from European folklore and pagan traditions.
Another thing, you should look up traditional Nordic custom in Easter celebrations, it's eerily similar to how Americans spend their Halloween! Kids dress up mostly as witches, and go around the neighbourhood to perform a good luck poem on people's doorstep in exchange for candy or money. ua-cam.com/video/Y6iZKGd4Ef0/v-deo.html Easter bunny stuff is quite foreign here even tho stores try their best
to push it 😂
Also I'm torn between Hop and the dog one for which I should subject my family to watch this easter holidays.
As a European, I felt a tiny bit offended when he said that.
Quinton's pretty awful when it comes to stuff like this. His videos are entertaining though.
Yeah, that is true. Still I also get the feeling that he focused more on the American side of these holidays (his side and how they play out over there/consumerism part).
SwimmingInSunlight That said, these secular American variants are very often wild alterations of the much stranger and more colourful American originals. Consider, for instance, the various Christmas gift-giving figures of the Continent: In Italy, a witch on a broomstick; in the Basque Country, a tinkerer raised by fairies; in the Netherlands... an Anatolian Greek bishop-made-saint best known in ecclesiastical history as the foremost advocate of the Nicene Creed, and an African servant usually represented by some dude in blackface.
You mentioned the trope of “Holiday Mascots Child Must Take Over But Doesn’t Want To” trope, and I personally think the best of that trope is Arthur Christmas. It kinda changes the formula a bit, in that Santa’s sons are both desperate to get his job, but it’s not too different. It’s one of two cg animated films by the British studio Aardman (they normally do stop motion) who created Wallace and Gromit, and it’s very charming. I genuinely adore the film, as whilst it follows many tropes, it subverts a lot of them too. Give it a look.
Coke should have been bold and had an ad where Jesus is crackin open a coke with the bois
You have it flipped around. Most "christian" holidays took from pagan holidays as an incentive to convert them. As is the case in Easter, the bunny represents new life with the coming of spring, as do the eggs :)
In other words, Christians: Hey be christians, not pagans
pagans: no, we like our traditions
christians: well we can do those too
pagans: hmmm, fine
You forgot to mention all the pagan origins of the holidays you discussed
That are mostly untruem
Yes I'm sure all those literal historical records studied and discussed by scholars of rituals like the fertility goddess Ostara the pagans believed turned a bird to a rabbit that continued to lay colorful eggs that pagans celebrated by painting eggs during their spring festivals, a thing there's historical record and evidance of, isnt true.
The amount of times I've seen the Here Comes Peter Cottontail remake in elementary school is crazy. How coincidentally I was thinking about it, considering I thought it was obscure for the most part. I wouldn't say I loved it but as a young kid, it was an annual Easter movie and I watched it 'cause anything was better than work
We'll get even! We'll get even! We'll make Santa pay!
Wait, wrong holiday.
You just seem so happy now and enthusiastic. Plus when you were shouting your fans it was really nice. I'm glad I've been subbed to this channel for like over a year. You've come a long way
I desperately hope you'll make a review on "A Talking Cat!?!" at some point.
It's legit one of my favourite movies of all time, of that type.
"Read your beeping machine."
At 13:57 I thought the cat the lady was holding had a deformity where it had two faces, like the cat that always hangs around Spider Jerusalem's apartment in _Transmetropolitan,_ and I was like, "whoa, whoa, is Quinton just gonna gloss over that???", but then I backed it up and realized I just mistook the lady's hand for a second cat face.
Oh well.
This video is gold, love your stuff! I grew up in a very religious household with a step-grandmother who goes super christian every easter. Apparently she, and her churchy friends, did not appreciate teenage me explaining the pagan origins of Easter aka Eostre and all of the other "christian" holidays. Pagan holidays typlically center around nature, the equinoxes, and old gods/goddesses. Easter celebrates Ostara, the goddess of fertility and birth. Hence the bunnies and eggs. The reason why modern Easter still has the bunnies etc is because christians adopted these elements when creating their holidays in order to more easily convert pagans. A fairly good media depiction of Eostre (that I currently know) is the American Gods tv series. And, well, at least it's better than this animated stuff (imo).
OMG Here comes Peter Cottontail the movie is a huge inside joke in my family. We rewatch the movie every year and quote it all the time. Wish I found this vid earlier.
5:00 damn he fuckin called it

Well i guess i wont sleep tonight.... who wants to binge watch easter movies all night with me, lol
I'm disappointed that he didn't mention the subplot in Hop where the easter bunny fakes his death and accidentally frames the protagonist so the special forces bunnies think he murdered and cooked the Easter bunny, I still have a hard time believing this is a real movie
...I could've gone my entire life without ever learning that there was a pop-punk arrangement of Peter Cottontail.
I blame you, Quinton.
I am Christian and I was not offended at all buy this video
Love you your videos!!!!!!!
Same here, I see no reason to be offended by it, what I’m really offended by is how consumeristic our culture and especially holidays are.
Exactly! I find this video hilarious
Mason B Same here, I’m Christian and I can appreciate people’s beliefs. Honestly it doesn’t matter your religion, it’s just your decision and it’s really rude of people to force their religion down others throats. It honestly gives a bad image of some of them :(
OH MY GOD THE PETER COTTONTAIL ONE ON THE THUMBNAIL I LOVED THAT ONE AS A KID
There's a part of me that wants the Bee Movie to be an Easter movie.
thematically, with the theme of rebirth, esprcially in plants and flowers one could argue that it is very relevant to the non-Christian versions of the easter holiday
one could also not do that becaise its really dumb
No. Bees are way better.
…Plus the whole plot of the bees making honey as well as most of the best scenes hinge on Bees.
I feel like this is the best place to ask about a Rudolf "spinoff" that follows his brother with a green nose and him going to a city?
Rebeltaxi has a good Hop review if want the plot explained btw
so thats what happens when you inject a bunny with LSD
Most holidays have really interesting history behind them. Some of the surprises are pretty crazy!
not to be weird, but i was literally just thinking the other day; “quinton got that crash bandicoot impervious to damage shirt jenny made as a bit. he probably got a there make be snakes shirt too, i just wonder if he’ll wear it in a video.” all this to say, i audibly gasped within the first second of your video. can’t wait to watch the rest
The last time I was this early Quinton hadn't had sex with a bee movie DVD
The xenophobic undertones of the chickens in Hop is the worst part. Yowza.
Your could have done both and talk about jedism
I was just thinking that omg
Oh my god. I'd completely forgotten Furry Vengeance existed! That's unlocked a deeply buried memory.
i remember watching hop as a child and thinking it was really good...
many years later, i’ve changed my mind
Regarding your opening segment, the only real celebration my family has of Easter is buying discounted candy afterwards.
Quinton’s back with the royalty free music
