Disney Owes America's Kids An Apology...?

Found this a second ago.

Also, check out the video response to this one. What do you guys think about this?

how hypocrite and how stupid… thousands of cartoon have guns… rotfl, look at Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd cartoons… omg, it’s incredible how people continues slendering Disney at every occasion…

So, this person’s point is that Disney (although they didn’t actually create Ratatouille) owe America’s kids (although America’s kids weren’t the only ones that watched Ratatouille :laughing:) an apology because in a five second clip from Ratatouille, a woman shoots a man and then they kiss afterwards?

That’s just hilarious. :laughing: Uh, has this guy ever played a video game? There’s plenty of guns in those. Sure, they have a ratings system like films do, but do parents ever really pay attention to those? Nope.

What about the bit where Remy and Emile are getting shot at by that old woman? Does that endorse cruelty to animals? Or the bit where Skinner and the health inspector are tied up and thrown into a cupboard? Does that endorse cruelty to chefs? :laughing:

Frankly, I’m pretty offended at the scene where Colette slaps Linguini, because it’s endorsing cruelty to dudes with huge noses. And the whole movie is endorsing unsupervised contact with dubiously hygienic wild animals.

Holy crap, Disney, you do owe these kids an apology. If you’re not gonna tell them the difference between fantasy and reality or right and wrong, who is? Their parents? I’m so disappointed in you.

Balderdash.

I say the person posting copyright protected material on YouTube owes Pixar an apology. I say “hummingalong79” needs to preview the things he shows his apparently hypersensitive bubble kids if he’s going to get so worked up and thrust his beliefs so vehemently on others.

I think that was one of the funniest parts of the move [spoil](especially Remy’s eye roll right after).[/spoil]

Disney owes the kids of America an apology for making them think that Ratatouille was their work!

I agree with you guys. I can understand that this guy wants what’s best for his child, but there is such a thing as too much shelter.

This guy’s a hypocrite. It was one of the funniest parts of the film! I laugh every time I watch it. 8D

I recalled seeing this on Youtube…didn’t actually watch it because it’s just a painful reminder that there are people looking for loopholes in such things, and some which are very successful, just to get a rise out of it.

The scene was merely a FEW SECONDS only. I mean come on…the Incredibles had, if I recall, guns and such violence GALORE, and that was CHASING the kid (Dash), and yet, so far as I know, they didn’t complain about it…
And even so, the two made up afterward (the man and woman), heck she didn’t even shoot the guy. I mean NOT like we don’t see this type of thing, and even much more violent adaptions of it in real life.

I posted some comments in the pages. :wink:

Oh boy, that is so stpid. Owing kids an apology? Come on! Hypocritical.

Pfff. I’m just gonna laugh along with you guys… :laughing:

lizardgirl and kageri - Haha! I got a good chuckle out of that. :wink:

rachel - Ha! I love the response you posted in the comments box. The answer below yours is great, too. (snigger)

Maybe he should have watched “Finding Nemo” instead. :wink:

Being overprotective can be good, but what he should do is watch the movie by himself first before he watches it with his kid.

Good point.
And wasn’t it told by Pixar, in a way, that their movies entertain ALL ages?
I mean despite a movie’s “cartoony look”, it does not neccesarily ALL for kids. I mean take Madagasscar in the scene where Alex’s “HELP” sign falls apart. To kids, something falls apart, ya laugh. But it falls apart into the word “HELL”, which would entertain more older people.
This person is just looking to bash.

The video was removed, but I wish I could’ve seen it. I’ve seen others like it, and they make me angry. That something-second clip isn’t going to scar little kids for life, or anything. It’s really not a big deal. A lot of kids in the theatre hardly noticed. I heard laughs from mostly older people.

And I agree with anyone who’s saying that just because it’s animated does not automatically label it a “kid’s movie”. I think it’s also the G-rating that makes a lot of people think this. All the G-rating means is that there isn’t anything horrible in it, not that it’s targeted for children. And actually, almost every time I went to see Ratatouille in theatres, I heard kids complaining to their parents that they were bored. The older kids and parents were really the ones who enjoyed it. Not little kids.

LeBatEnRouge - The video only showed the ten seconds of the film (Ratatouille) in which a French woman fires a bullet through the ceiling – the latter of which almost blows Remy’s head off in the process – before… “getting it on” with the guy she was arguing with. There was no vocal foreword or afterword by the individual who posted up the video.

Like you mentioned, Ratatouille is probably one of Pixar’s most adult-oriented films yet, besides The Incredibles and Cars. I can see how some children might easily get bored with it, while the parents will be laughing their heads off in the meantime. But hey, I give kudos to Brad Bird for not being afraid to add a little adult humor into his (and others’) films. :wink:

So all they showed was that little clip? Psh, I thought it was a review-type thing :stuck_out_tongue:

LeBatEnRouge - Yeah, I thought so, as well. Kinda disappointing…in a way. :stuck_out_tongue:

There was another video of him vlogging about why Disney owes America’s kids an apology (what just American kids?). I can’t find it, though.
