Super Netto / True Easter Bunny (Germany)

Описание: Absolutely adorable Netto Ad explores the origins of the Easter Bunny.

How on earth did humans come up with the idea of a bunny laying eggs for a Christian holiday?

If you’ve ever wondered how the Easter Bunny came to possess its magical ability of placing colourful, chocolate eggs around your garden, German supermarket chain Netto has an answer.

Jung von Matt approached Mill+ with a highly inspiring creative script to explore the origins of the Easter bunny for Netto Marken-Discounts latest seasonal campaign.

The original idea of the Easter Bunny, or Osterhase in German (literally Easter Hare), was in fact a very German creation dating back to the Middle Ages, according to Berlin City Museum biologist Beate Witzel.

By the 17th century, the Easter Bunny would bring eggs for children to discover on Easter. And the creature bringing treats wasn’t always a hare: there was also an Easter Fox, Stork and Crane in various regions before the hare became mainstream.

But why a bunny? A big reason for this is that given their reputation for frequent reproduction, bunnies represent fertility and new life, just like eggs do, which are big themes of springtime and the Christian belief in Jesus' resurrection.
