For Christians, Easter represents Christ's death & resurrection. For Jews, this is the time of Passover (which begins this year on Good Friday). For everyone else, it's a secular holiday. I'm listing Bunny themed movies cuz they're cute and I still like them & see nothing wrong with cuddly adorable bunnies, baskets, & Cadbury Eggs nom nom even if it is also a religious holiday for me. Just remember to explain to your children what the holiday means to your family, and please explain to your kids that bunnies don't lay eggs. That must confuse them.
