The Things We Call "Children's Movies"

Well folks, I guess this is the moment that I make the world-wide, and rather loud declaration regarding the farce that is the Disney movie. Now, don't get me wrong, I've known for a long time that there are a lot of truly...well I was going to use the word heinous, but I think that's a little strong... There are a lot of undesirable things in Disney movies, as is the case with most media in general, but Disney somehow managed to convince the general population that they were the last word in children's and family entertainment.

Last night I watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

NOTE TO PEEPS: NOT A CHILDREN'S MOVIE!!!

Yeah, the little gargoyles are funny, and there are definitely moments where it's aimed at kids... like when the old guy gets released from his current incarcerated state and he wobbles around saying, "I'm free! I'm free!" until moments later when he somehow finds himself entrapped again and yells, "Dang it!" It's slapstick, and it's funny... but the rest of the movie! Not so much!

I could go on and rant for a good portion of this page, but I will refrain :)

On another note, I really like Hunchback, despite the less-than-stellar character animation. (Though the backgrounds are spectacular!)

So don't let the fools at Disney kid you... haha... There's still monitoring and censoring to be had despite... or maybe in spite of... a brand name!
