I happened to catch this movie on TV shortly after BunNoob mentioned it the first time. It had been on for a while and I only had time to watch a little bit, but from what I saw, I tend to agree with Bladesmith. I mainly caught the scene were the boys push the rabbit down the snow ramp, and a few minutes before and after. I was pretty put off by how the rabbit was handled, being picked up by the scruff, then plopped down. When the boys grabbed the bun to take it outside I expected someone to stop them, I was surprised that they actually had them go through with it and push it off the ramp. That showed everything that’s wrong with how people view rabbits, as disposable toys for nasty kids. Then I thought, “Okay, they went there, but surely only to have the parents come down on those horrible little animal abusers like a TON OF BRICKS!!!”… Nope, it cuts away to a new scene where the parents fight over whether or not they should let the girl stay. The boys weren’t punished, the whole thing wasn’t even mentioned. That pissed me off even more than the previous scene. That’s all I watched, I don’t know if or how my opinion would change if I watched the whole thing.
As BunNoob said, we all have our own opinions, and to those who enjoyed the movie, good for you. 
Sorry to be such a Grinch! 
BunNoob, thanks for mentioning the movie, I was looking forward to watching it when you brought it up. There certainly are not enough bunny themed Christmas movies!
