To parents who might consider taking the little ones to a show, the local paper printed the following gems about the movie...
"Kids will find the fun amid cartoon's morality messages"
"Now comes the animated feature version by Brad Bird, who turns it into a anti-gun, pro-nonconformity tale that raches out to tap Speilbergian well of emotion."
"As he gradually discovers the giant's superpowers, Hogarth teaches his metallic pal that "It's bad to kill, it's not bad to die."
Simplistic, but not terrible lessons for tots to absorb."
"The Iron Giant might be a good opportunity for parents to discuss death and guns with their kids, but don't be suprised if they leave the theater wanting to buy the movie's weapon toys."
Anti-gun and pro-nonconformity? Isn't this sort of oxymoronic? And last time I checked, most people think it's pretty "bad to die". Finally, once again we have an anti-gunner that thinks it's just dandy to sell what they promote as "evil". Just like all those action stars who promote violence and gunplay to line their own pockets, then join anti-gun organizations and promote banning the very implements of their trade.
Hmm...I'll go watch "Gunsmith Cats" for an animation fix. Not for the kiddies, but you gotta love a flick with a CZ-75 totin', GT-500 drivin' lead fighting an anti-gun politico that turn out to be a terriost-hiring illegal weapons smuggler!
