Trailer had bad language!

I just saw the trailer for this before watching another childrens movie. I was pretty shocked to hear the rat say "dammit" and then the ugly duckling repeat it over and over again. The theatre was filled with young children. I think it's inappropriate for bad language in a childrens movie, but it's even worse in a movie trailer. At least a parent can decide whether or not to let their kids see the movie, but you're blindsided by the trailer. Trailers should be suitable for all audiences, this one was not.

"Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions." from the definition of G-rated, the lowest rating the MPAA issues.

If "dammit" shocks you, I advise you don't see movies and trailers that are G-rated any more.

This movie has yet to rated by the the MPAA, so what makes you think it's rated G. The word didn't shock me, but did shock many of the 5 year olds in the crowd. What shocked me, is that the trailer used it. Some kid behind me in the theatre turn to his dad and said "he said a bad word". Use it in the movie, fine, but not in a trailer where people have no control about seeing it Especially when it was said repeatedly.

Whether they find life there or not, I think Jupiter should be considered an enemy planet.
