parents in the theater with their young kids. This was when I was in high school in the 1980s.

Talk about exposing kids under 10 to gratuitous violence.

Also, notice those Pixar movies have some violence in them? Toy Story has a kid in it that actually uses explosives to blow up toys. "A Bug's Life" has a fake bird being lit on fire with little baby ants inside screaming and crying, and a real bird feeding a human-like grasshopper to hungry chicks ready to tear it apart.

Just because it's not a human being shot by a phaser gun doesn't mean it's not violent.


What about the "classic" Disney cartoon movies?

"Snow White" featured an evil stepmother that hired an assassin to take her stepdaughter out and kill her, and bring back her heart as proof of her death.

"Sleeping Beauty" has a princess that is fed a poisoned apple.
