The idea behind many of the stories seems pretty sad if you think about it. I even got a little sad watching Dumbo. Poor kid is ridiculed for his ears and gets taken away from his mom because she defends him. And even getting away from Disney, I thought the Rudolph story was sad. His parents were ashamed enough of his nose to cover it up and hope that no one found out about it and when his nose was discovered, everyone (except Clarice) turned their backs on him and made fun of him... even Santa. And they never accepted him until they needed him for his "weirdness". That seems to send the wrong message in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Oh well... it's funny that the stories that we seem to have the most "issues" with are the ones that we all grew up with and I guess we all turned out okay. :)Keri Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559511246004614404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-64398275623337859642008-01-25T20:58:00.000-05:002008-01-25T20:58:00.000-05:00I just noticed Erin's 5 month pic.

At least, some scenes, but I guess they aren't too bad and they move along quickly. I hate that the Mom dies right in the beginning. I remember hearing stories about my cousin Vinny (not the movie, my actual cousin Vinny, who is now 6) watching Nemo and, being a very very perceptive and sensitive little toddler, crying when he realized the Mom died. My uncle and aunt had to leave the theater and never watched the rest of the movie. Why can't Disney just make happy movies? :)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168028916053587639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-36548463208088719312008-01-25T20:43:00.000-05:002008-01-25T20:43:00.000-05:00What's funny is that I remember loving every part ...What's funny is that I remember loving every part of all those classic movies as a kid. I was probably closer to 3 or 4 though. Maybe Leah will be ready for those classics in a few years. In the meantime, Nemo is a great choice for kids! I am always conflicted with Disney movies myself. I LOVE the classic tales because they intrigue kids and adults; however, I know the newer movies are safer for little kids. <BR/><BR/>I can't put myself in your shoes, but I can remember how creative I was as a child and I loved that both sides of the coin were presented to me. I do think 2 is still young though. Mom knows best, and I will side with you!<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, I think I'm to go watch Pete's Dragon tonight!Mirdonamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079705269583029535noreply@blogger.com
