Ok, it's aggressively secular to begin with, but Elf was cute despite that. WTF then with the strange "rule Britannia" or Anglo-American alliance against the uppity Hispanics message? This is supposed to be _a kids'_ movie ...

That's funny-in the trailers I've seen it sounds like he has more of a russian accent than hispanic accent.
I call movies that are considered 'bad' hated movies.
That is why a Mexican did not do the voice in the movie. They had to get Hank azaria.

Zomfg you people! The WHOLE POINT of the easter BUNNY theme was that the elder bunny wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. If you want to get PEDANTIC, it's more nepotosm than racism! Has NOTHING to do with him being Hispanic!

Dea_chick, but the fact of the matter was that the bunnies were "at the top" and all spoke with british accents while _their workers_ were the chicks and they all spoke with hispanic accents. And "Carlos" was "the villain" for attempting to overthrow the established order. In fact, "King Bunny" handed over power to his son AND _the American_ who wasn't even a bunny rather than share the power WITH THE CHICKS THAT WERE DOING ALL THE WORK.
Very, very strange, especially since like 40% of the kids in the United States are _hispanic_. Very strange and _counter-productive_ from a long-term business sort of way ...
Zomg. You people are *beep* high. Amazed how many idiots troll imdb now.

It's not anti-hispanic at all. It's only anti-hispanic to people who are looking for a reason to feel offended
shareWhy were the overlord rabbits given English accents then and the worker chicks Hispanic ones?
The villain in "Hop" was "Carlos" (_not_ "Charlie") the foreman who tried to overthrow the regal English-accented Easter bunny. After thwarting the "coup," the regal English-accented Easter bunny _dubs_ his son (with a more "prol" sounding English accent) _and his Anglo-American friend _co-protectors_ of the Easter bunny tradition (take that *beep* chicks...").
And as punishment, "Carlos" was forced to help power the Easter bunny's sleigh around for Easter. Yes, this all is offensive.
This was all supposed to take place on Easter Island which is under Chilean jurisdiction. All the animals should have had Hispanic accents or none at all.

Now I've heard everything.

I thought it was because he was a Chick and not a Bunny? Didn't he just happen to have a Spanish accent? Not sure why they did that of course. Jesus (the real reason for Easter) isn't even Anglo. He is Israeli.
Not sure who the Anti-Christ is that also hates chicks and Spaniards but the whole thing is just wrong anyway.

Easter, like most established festivals, was going on long before Jesus. The church simply appropriated seasonal northern European pagan festivals. Look at the ancient symbols of Easter, Christmas, All Saints Day etc, and you won't find many biblical images, just a bunch of eggs, rabbits, decorated trees, holly, Ivy, burning effigies, scary lanterns etc. The real reason for Easter is essentially therefore a celebration of springtime in the British Isles. Might explain the bunny's accents too?
