Looking for some good family friendly Easter movies to fill your spring break movie nights? We’re sharing both secular and non-secular Easter films that everyone can enjoy.

For those who celebrate a non-secular Easter, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite movies featuring that lovable E. Bunny and other familiar characters. Check out our favorite family friendly Easter movies.
