I can't say I lament the removal of house elves from the movies. They're pretty much Jar Jar v 2.0 as far as I'm concerned, both in voice and animation. Murtle is pretty brutal, too. I'm not exactly sure why they chose to do them that way; I suppose they were trying to make them cute and I'm just not the target audience.
Though, house elves in general bother me. They mostly seem to be an annoyance that takes attention away from the main plot thread.
