Okay, i understand the need for so-called "family" entertainment (which is a word that really means your kids will watch it without being exposed to sex or violence and you can roll your eyes and try not to taste the puke in the back of your throat while watching it with them, but you're glad to be spending time with them so you try not to mind) but this, this is just garbage, really. I don't even know if I have words to describe how sick I am of movies where animals talk, or movies where animals play sports or other such *beep*. When i was a kid I didn't watch this kind of crap, and if you ask me, someone needs to rise up and stop this.
By force if necessary.

When I think of animal talking movies, I think of Homeward Bound and other movies that actually used clay animation, animated movies, and the ones with puppets. Back then, they were never "dumbed-down" to kids. They have the feeling that actually cherish families together. This however, goes to the lowest common denominer, they used nothing but bad CGI, bad actors, bad direction, bad script and absoulutely no plot whatsoever. I'm surprised there hasn't been a decent family film that was never dumbed-down to kids when it come to live-action.

okay, i'll admit, Rudolph was a childhood favorite. Man, I'm in college, I don't even have kids, I'm just saying that if I did, I wouldn't encourage this king of trash. Maybe I'm cynical, but I think movies like this are just made because kiddie films are big bucks. Look at Finding Nemo. I'm sure it's a very good movie for what it is, but, well, I'll wager that most of the tickets were sold to kids. What i'm saying is that it's all about business, and movies like this are cynical shots in the dark to try to match disney in terms of nabbing the "ooh, mommy, I want to see that" audience.

Man, let the kids enjoy "sugar coated" innocence while they still have it.

It's only a matter of time before they find out the truth, young kids shouldn't need movies to learn how life sucks. It's the parents job to teach them that and more "realistic" movies can be watched later on.

No reason to take away innocence. I understand you might have some huge grudge against society cause it's not like you imagined it when you were younger, but it's no reason that children shouldn't be able to have some unquestionable happiness.
