CHILDS HORROR FILM, BE WARNED!
PostedJune 20, 2010

from Orange County, CA
For the most part, this movie was exceptional, entertaining, funny and witty. BUT (and yes, this is a very big but) the landfill, incinerator secene was extremely intense for kids. My kids are 4 & 6 and honestly, they watch a good amount of stuff from PBS to Scooby-Doo and Pokemon but this particular scene (which is farily long) was in no uncertain terms a childs horror film. As I watched it, I was very aware of how terrifying, menecing and horrifying the storyline was. The antagonist was needed but the adult way in which it was written veiled strongly towards terror and fear. It was harsh, no matter how you dress it up, cover it up or fill it with toys. Overtly my kids seemed okay with it all but I'm not okay that they were exposed to this form of horror at this age. I'm not a prude or a member of organized conservative religion but, I am protective towards inappropriate exposures. each child has a different level of maturity and experience and I take the blame for not seeing this coming but, honestly, this should absolutely NOT be rated G. Even if you're okay with the scene in question, do you still think it should be a G rating? Because of this particular storyline, I had to give the film 3 stars if only for the reason of getting peoples attention. Protagonist, antagonist and the cycle of life, I get it, I'm okay with it but, STOP with the scare tactics already, my God life is rough enough already, stop messing with our childrens heads.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
