The Pinocchio scene was just wrong.

Yeah, it was inappropriate. But, it was unbelievably hilarious too.

You’re right, John. I have a big problem with teaching kids that young about erotic attire and attitudes. One example I especially loathe -- and you may have seen this in your time out shopping -- is Club Libby Lu. They teach 4-year-olds the ‘I can shake it like that’ song among other things, and in my opinion, all of the promiscuous themes that go along with it.

The hip-hop music and its celebration of promiscuity, hedonism, objectification of women, etc will only teach our children that these attitudes and actions are acceptable and expected of them. I fear for the generation going through grade school and Jr. High right now, and what the entertainment profiteers’ messages will inspire them to do when they’re older. It is truly dangerous.

IF Schrek really loved Fiona, he would have remained human and not let her remain an Ogre.

...but it was Fiona’s decision in the end. And plus, if they had remained human, it would have played into the whole Disney picture-perfect cliche that the Shrek movies set out to parody.

(...) No it wasn't wrong. or inappropriate. They didn't refer to anything sexual. It's a feminin underwear. No mentions as to what it could mean, i.e. being a transvestite or being sexy. It was simply an underwaer. A Thong! What's wrong about that? (...) (20 years ago, 27-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
