Sometimes Hollywood and the music industry can be crazy and superstitious too. Look at these pop culture events that occurred in the years of the rabbit:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit- 1987 fire rabbit
Hop- 2011: The Easter like movie with the CGI rabbit that came out this year made by the same people who did last year's Despicable Me.
Harvey- almost 1951: The movie featuring everyone's favorite man-sized imaginary rabbit came out just several months before the year of the rabbit in October 1950. It's not a bad strategy to release a movie that's ahead of the curve.
Also notice the ones at the end of 1951 and 2011 they are exactly sixty years apart. Both 2011 and 1951 are metal rabbit years. A year with the same element and same animal only occur every sixty years. The thirty year pop culture cycle is only a part of a cycle twice its size. I don't think that it's a coincidence that this decade seems more like the 50s so far than the 80s.
The Matrix- 1999 Earth rabbit: Morpheous says before offering Neo the red and blue pills "I imagine that right now, you're feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?"
Transformers 3- 2011 metal rabbit: Sam's girlfriend gives him a random gift in the beginning of the movie, a stuffed rabbit. This rabbit appeared for no other reason than for Michael Bay to give himself a little luck in that hopefully this movie will have done better than his last Transformer abomination. It was number one in theaters for several weeks so the charm probably didn't hurt. The actor who plays Sam's new girlfriend in this movie was also born in 1987, the year of the rabbit as opposed to Megan Fox who was born in 1986, the year of the tiger.
Lady Gaga's Born This Way- 2011: The concept of birth and new beginnings is intrinsically associated with a rabbit's constant urge for baby making.
