target=\"_blank\">Easter<\/a> weekend, which means it\u2019s time to dig into those rare chocolate treats only available once a year and stick on a feel-good film.<\/p>\n<p>While Easter isn\u2019t quite as well represented in film as the likes of <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/christmas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Christmas<\/a>, there are still some Easter-themed movies out there across streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re after a nostalgic family <a

isn\u2019t technically an Easter movie, but in the season of bunnies, watching one of the most famous ever (Beatrix Potter\u2019s naughty creation) seems appropriate, right?<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte\u2019s Web<\/p>\n<p>This 2006 remake of the classic story about a girl, her pet piglet, and the <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/spiders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spider<\/a> who helps to save his life is a popular Easter choice for many \u2013 and you can enjoy it all over again this year.<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<p>Rise of the Guardians<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t 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 <a data-ico=\"hyperlink-article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/santa-claus\/\" data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Claus<\/a>, the Sandman, the Tooth Fairy, and Jack Frost in an Avengers-style adventure for younger viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: BBC iPlayer<\/p>\n<p>Chicken Run (and Chicken Run 2)<\/p>\n<p>Chicken Run (2000) is an absolute classic all year round, but we\u2019re arguing it is particularly Easter appropriate since it\u2019s set on an egg farm.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Netflix<\/p>\n<p>Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl<\/p>\n<p>Vengeance Most Fowl is the sixth instalment in the hugely popular animated series and welcomed the return of\u00a0Feathers McGraw at Christmas 2024.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Netflix<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Got a story?<\/p>\n<p
