Good Easter films to stream this weekend

It’s Easter weekend, which means it’s time to dig into those rare chocolate treats only available once a year and stick on a feel-good film.

While Easter isn’t quite as well represented in film as the likes of Christmas, there are still some Easter-themed movies out there across streaming platforms.

Whether you’re after a nostalgic family comedy starring Julia Roberts or a newly released animation featuring one mischievous penguin, we’ve got you covered.

So, for when you’re not attending religious services or scoffing eggs, here’s a selection of flicks to keep you entertained over the next few days…

Surprisingly, Peter Rabbit isn’t technically an Easter movie, but in the season of bunnies, watching one of the most famous ever (Beatrix Potter’s naughty creation) seems appropriate, right?

Rise of the Guardians

If you haven’t got quite enough of the Easter Bunny in your life this year, then head straight for this 2012 animated fantasy, which sees the esteemed Easter hero join forces with Santa Claus, the Sandman, the Tooth Fairy, and Jack Frost in an Avengers-style adventure for younger viewers.

Chicken Run (and Chicken Run 2)

Chicken Run (2000) is an absolute classic all year round, but we’re arguing it is particularly Easter appropriate since it’s set on an egg farm.

The comedy-adventure film got a long-awaited sequel in 2023 with Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, making for the ideal movie marathon this long weekend.

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

Vengeance Most Fowl is the sixth instalment in the hugely popular animated series and welcomed the return of Feathers McGraw at Christmas 2024.

As a new invention from Wallace goes rogue and an escaped Feathers on the loose, out for revenge, this has all the ingredients for some side-splittingly amusing Easter action.
