Grrr

[vivien]

I haven't seen it (nor will I) but I've read the reviews and am grumpy. Thus the icon. I reeeeeally hate it that idiots are taking children's books - classic, beloved children's books - and turning them into pop culture, sexual innuendoed pieces of movie crap. Ok, actually I hate it when films marketed for children do the sexual innuendo thing, period. I don't care that most kids don't get it - it's just not appropriate. And guess what - some of the kids that my program reaches will get it because they've been exposed to too much, too soon. Quality children's movies don't have to have adult undertones in them to make parents enjoy them. And you know what, children's movies shouldn't be about the parents enjoying them, although it's a plus when they do. It just really pisses me off. It's enough that we have preschoolers dressing in low waisted pants and skimpy shirts - we don't need sneaky sexualization in their movies.

End of rant. Please excuse the outburst.
