Don't read this if you haven't seen the film yet and don't want it to be spoiled.
So a friend of my mother's posted on Facebook that she absolutely HATED Cars 2 because of the amount of violence in it. Apparently her six year old son was freaking out in the theater because people wanted to kill Mater and Lightning McQueen, and because of the bomb on Mater. She said that the amount of violence in the form of guns, bombs, and explosions 'horrified' her. Another person agreed, saying that 'Disney movies are just getting worse and worse for our kids'.
Whaaaaat?!? Am I delusional? I really can't believe I just saw that. Honestly, if you're going to judge a PG rated movie and say that it's innapropriate, why not screen or review it before going? And Disney, getting 'worse'? I'm sorry, I really think that there are worse things out there than animated spy cars with big, fake missile guns. I know that six is young, but not too young to understand that when things are in movies, they are not real-especially in animated films.
*sigh* Some folks might as well keep their kids locked up all the time, so they aren't exposed to the 'horrors' of the real world...
