Huevos: Little Rooster's Egg-Cellent Adventure

The(ir) Blurb...

The world's most egg-cellent animated (Huevo Cartoon) series finally cracks the U.S. big screen with UN GALLO CON MUCHOS HUEVOS! Toto, (voiced by Bruno Bichir) was born the runt of the litter. But, when an evil rancher threatens to destroy his home and his family, Toto must go from a timid young 'chicken' to a brave and scrappy rooster. Toto and his friends (voices include: Angelica Vale, Maite Perroni, Omar Chaparro, Ninel Conde, Carlos Espejel) must band together on an egg-citing adventure that will prove that big surprises can come from little packages.

This Spanish-language animated family film (released in the U.S. as Huevos: Little Rooster’s Egg-cellent Adventure) is the third in the franchise following chicken Toto and his group of egg friends. The film cracked the box office top 10 during its opening weekend, but disappointingly included an outdated stereotypical character meant solely for the audience to laugh at and several instances of anti-gay slurs. Fabian is an egg who works as a makeup artist at a rooster-fighting club owned by El Padrino (The Godfather). He wears a painted-on pink top, exaggerated makeup, and a red scarf. While Fabian has less than one minute of total screen time, every scene is designed for audiences to get a cheap laugh at his flamboyance and over-the-top delivery. While we would like to see animated film catch up to the LGBT representation featured in animated TV last year, this is one “character” that would have been better left on the editing floor.

Quite, quite ridiculous...GLAAD your account is longer than the character's on-screen time...seriously, in this case, why bother?!?
